Typedef Documentation

typedef struct _CPLXMLNode CPLXMLNode
 

Document node structure.

This C structure is used to hold a single text fragment representing a component of the document when parsed. It should be allocated with the appropriate CPL function, and freed with CPLDestroyXMLNode(). The structure contents should not normally be altered by application code, but may be freely examined by application code.

Using the psChild and psNext pointers, a heirarchical tree structure for a document can be represented as a tree of CPLXMLNode structures.


Enumeration Type Documentation

enum CPLXMLNodeType
 

Enumerator:
CXT_Element  Node is an element
CXT_Text  Node is a raw text value
CXT_Attribute  Node is attribute
CXT_Comment  Node is an XML comment.
CXT_Literal  Node is a special literal


Function Documentation

void CPLAddXMLChild CPLXMLNode psParent,
CPLXMLNode psChild
 

Add child node to parent.

The passed child is added to the list of children of the indicated parent. Normally the child is added at the end of the parents child list, but attributes (CXT_Attribute) will be inserted after any other attributes but before any other element type. Ownership of the child node is effectively assumed by the parent node. If the child has siblings (it's psNext is not NULL) they will be trimmed, but if the child has children they are carried with it.

Parameters:
psParent the node to attach the child to. May not be NULL.
psChild the child to add to the parent. May not be NULL. Should not be a child of any other parent.

void CPLAddXMLSibling CPLXMLNode psOlderSibling,
CPLXMLNode psNewSibling
 

Add new sibling.

The passed psNewSibling is added to the end of siblings of the psOlderSibling node. That is, it is added to the end of the psNext chain. There is no special handling if psNewSibling is an attribute. If this is required, use CPLAddXMLChild().

Parameters:
psOlderSibling the node to attach the sibling after.
psNewSibling the node to add at the end of psOlderSiblings psNext chain.

void CPLCleanXMLElementName char *  pszTarget  ) 
 

Make string into safe XML token.

Modififies a string in place to try and make it into a legal XML token that can be used as an element name. This is accomplished by changing any characters not legal in a token into an underscore.

NOTE: This function should implement the rules in section 2.3 of http://www.w3.org/TR/xml11/ but it doesn't yet do that properly. We only do a rough approximation of that.

Parameters:
pszTarget the string to be adjusted. It is altered in place.

CPLXMLNode* CPLCloneXMLTree CPLXMLNode psTree  ) 
 

Copy tree.

Creates a deep copy of a CPLXMLNode tree.

Parameters:
psTree the tree to duplicate.
Returns:
a copy of the whole tree.

CPLXMLNode* CPLCreateXMLElementAndValue CPLXMLNode psParent,
const char *  pszName,
const char *  pszValue
 

Create an element and text value.

This is function is a convenient short form for:

CPLXMLNode *psTextNode; CPLXMLNode *psElementNode;

psElementNode = CPLCreateXMLNode( psParent, CXT_Element, pszName ); psTextNode = CPLCreateXMLNode( psElementNode, CXT_Text, pszValue );

return psElementNode;

It creates a CXT_Element node, with a CXT_Text child, and attaches the element to the passed parent.

Parameters:
psParent the parent node to which the resulting node should be attached. May be NULL to keep as freestanding.
pszName the element name to create.
pszValue the text to attach to the element. Must not be NULL.
Returns:
the pointer to the new element node.

CPLXMLNode* CPLCreateXMLNode CPLXMLNode poParent,
CPLXMLNodeType  eType,
const char *  pszText
 

Create an document tree item.

Create a single CPLXMLNode object with the desired value and type, and attach it as a child of the indicated parent.

Parameters:
poParent the parent to which this node should be attached as a child. May be NULL to keep as free standing.
Returns:
the newly created node, now owned by the caller (or parent node).

void CPLDestroyXMLNode CPLXMLNode psNode  ) 
 

Destroy a tree.

This function frees resources associated with a CPLXMLNode and all its children nodes.

Parameters:
psNode the tree to free.

CPLXMLNode* CPLGetXMLNode CPLXMLNode psRoot,
const char *  pszPath
 

Find node by path.

Searches the document or subdocument indicated by psRoot for an element (or attribute) with the given path. The path should consist of a set of element names separated by dots, not including the name of the root element (psRoot). If the requested element is not found NULL is returned.

Attribute names may only appear as the last item in the path.

The search is done from the root nodes children, but all intermediate nodes in the path must be specified. Seaching for "name" would only find a name element or attribute if it is a direct child of the root, not at any level in the subdocument.

If the pszPath is prefixed by "=" then the search will begin with the root node, and it's siblings, instead of the root nodes children. This is particularly useful when searching within a whole document which is often prefixed by one or more "junk" nodes like the <?xml> declaration.

Parameters:
psRoot the subtree in which to search. This should be a node of type CXT_Element. NULL is safe.
pszPath the list of element names in the path (dot separated).
Returns:
the requested element node, or NULL if not found.

const char* CPLGetXMLValue CPLXMLNode psRoot,
const char *  pszPath,
const char *  pszDefault
 

Fetch element/attribute value.

Searches the document for the element/attribute value associated with the path. The corresponding node is internally found with CPLGetXMLNode() (see there for details on path handling). Once found, the value is considered to be the first CXT_Text child of the node.

If the attribute/element search fails, or if the found node has not value then the passed default value is returned.

The returned value points to memory within the document tree, and should not be altered or freed.

Parameters:
psRoot the subtree in which to search. This should be a node of type CXT_Element. NULL is safe.
pszPath the list of element names in the path (dot separated). An empty path means get the value of the psRoot node.
pszDefault the value to return if a corresponding value is not found, may be NULL.
Returns:
the requested value or pszDefault if not found.

CPLXMLNode* CPLParseXMLFile const char *  pszFilename  ) 
 

Parse XML file into tree.

The named file is opened, loaded into memory as a big string, and parsed with CPLParseXMLString(). Errors in reading the file or parsing the XML will be reported by CPLError().

Parameters:
pszFilename the file to open.
Returns:
NULL on failure, or the document tree on success.

CPLXMLNode* CPLParseXMLString const char *  pszString  ) 
 

Parse an XML string into tree form.

The passed document is parsed into a CPLXMLNode tree representation. If the document is not well formed XML then NULL is returned, and errors are reported via CPLError(). No validation beyond wellformedness is done. The CPLParseXMLFile() convenience function can be used to parse from a file.

The returned document tree is is owned by the caller and should be freed with CPLDestroyXMLNode() when no longer needed.

If the document has more than one "root level" element then those after the first will be attached to the first as siblings (via the psNext pointers) even though there is no common parent. A document with no XML structure (no angle brackets for instance) would be considered well formed, and returned as a single CXT_Text node.

Parameters:
pszString the document to parse.
Returns:
parsed tree or NULL on error.

CPLXMLNode* CPLSearchXMLNode CPLXMLNode psRoot,
const char *  pszElement
 

Search for a node in document.

Searches the children (and potentially siblings) of the documented passed in for the named element or attribute. To search following siblings as well as children, prefix the pszElement name with an equal sign. This function does an in-order traversal of the document tree. So it will first match against the current node, then it's first child, that childs first child, and so on.

Use CPLGetXMLNode() to find a specific child, or along a specific node path.

Parameters:
psRoot the subtree to search. This should be a node of type CXT_Element. NULL is safe.
pszElement the name of the element or attribute to search for.
Returns:
The matching node or NULL on failure.

char* CPLSerializeXMLTree CPLXMLNode psNode  ) 
 

Convert tree into string document.

This function converts a CPLXMLNode tree representation of a document into a flat string representation. White space indentation is used visually preserve the tree structure of the document. The returned document becomes owned by the caller and should be freed with CPLFree() when no longer needed.

Parameters:
psNode 
Returns:
the document on success or NULL on failure.

int CPLSerializeXMLTreeToFile CPLXMLNode psTree,
const char *  pszFilename
 

Write document tree to a file.

The passed document tree is converted into one big string (with CPLSerializeXMLTree()) and then written to the named file. Errors writing the file will be reported by CPLError(). The source document tree is not altered. If the output file already exists it will be overwritten.

Parameters:
psTree the document tree to write.
pszFilename the name of the file to write to.

int CPLSetXMLValue CPLXMLNode psRoot,
const char *  pszPath,
const char *  pszValue
 

Set element value by path.

Find (or create) the target element or attribute specified in the path, and assign it the indicated value.

Any path elements that do not already exist will be created. The target nodes value (the first CXT_Text child) will be replaced with the provided value.

If the target node is an attribute instead of an element, the last separator should be a "#" instead of the normal period path separator.

Example: CPLSetXMLValue( "Citation.Id.Description", "DOQ dataset" ); CPLSetXMLValue( "Citation.Id.Description#name", "doq" );

Parameters:
psRoot the subdocument to be updated.
pszPath the dot seperated path to the target element/attribute.
pszValue the text value to assign.
Returns:
TRUE on success.

void CPLStripXMLNamespace CPLXMLNode psRoot,
const char *  pszNamespace,
int  bRecurse
 

Strip indicated namespaces.

The subdocument (psRoot) is recursively examined, and any elements with the indicated namespace prefix will have the namespace prefix stripped from the element names. If the passed namespace is NULL, then all namespace prefixes will be stripped.

Nodes other than elements should remain unaffected. The changes are made "in place", and should not alter any node locations, only the pszValue field of affected nodes.

Parameters:
psRoot the document to operate on.
pszNamespace the name space prefix (not including colon), or NULL.
bRecurse TRUE to recurse over whole document, or FALSE to only operate on the passed node.
