Detailed Description

The parent class for everything in the Document Object Model. (Except for attributes). Nodes have siblings, a parent, and children. A node can be in a document, or stand on its own. The type of a TiXmlNode can be queried, and it can be cast to its more defined type.

Member Enumeration Documentation

The types of XML nodes supported by TinyXml. (All the unsupported types are picked up by UNKNOWN.)

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool TiXmlNode::Accept ( TiXmlVisitor visitor) const
pure virtual

Accept a hierchical visit the nodes in the TinyXML DOM. Every node in the XML tree will be conditionally visited and the host will be called back via the TiXmlVisitor interface.

This is essentially a SAX interface for TinyXML. (Note however it doesn't re-parse the XML for the callbacks, so the performance of TinyXML is unchanged by using this interface versus any other.)

The interface has been based on ideas from:

Which are both good references for "visiting".

An example of using Accept():

    TiXmlPrinter printer;
    tinyxmlDoc.Accept( &printer );
    const char* xmlcstr = printer.CStr();

Implemented in TiXmlDocument, TiXmlUnknown, TiXmlDeclaration, TiXmlText, TiXmlComment, and TiXmlElement.

Referenced by TiXmlElement::Accept(), and TiXmlDocument::Accept().

virtual TiXmlNode* TiXmlNode::Clone ( ) const
pure virtual

Create an exact duplicate of this node and return it. The memory must be deleted by the caller.

Implemented in TiXmlDocument, TiXmlUnknown, TiXmlDeclaration, TiXmlText, TiXmlComment, and TiXmlElement.

Referenced by InsertAfterChild(), InsertBeforeChild(), InsertEndChild(), luiza::XMLParser::parse(), luiza::XMLParser::processconditions(), and ReplaceChild().

const TiXmlNode * TiXmlNode::FirstChild ( const char *  value) const

The first child of this node with the matching 'value'. Will be null if none found.

References Value().

const TiXmlDocument * TiXmlNode::GetDocument ( ) const

Return a pointer to the Document this node lives in. Returns null if not in a document.

References ToDocument().

Referenced by LinkEndChild(), and TiXmlElement::SetAttribute().

TiXmlNode * TiXmlNode::InsertAfterChild ( TiXmlNode afterThis,
const TiXmlNode addThis 
)

Add a new node related to this. Adds a child after the specified child. Returns a pointer to the new object or NULL if an error occured.

References Clone(), and Type().

TiXmlNode * TiXmlNode::InsertBeforeChild ( TiXmlNode beforeThis,
const TiXmlNode addThis 
)

Add a new node related to this. Adds a child before the specified child. Returns a pointer to the new object or NULL if an error occured.

References Clone(), and Type().

Referenced by luiza::XMLParser::parse(), luiza::XMLParser::processconditions(), and luiza::XMLParser::replacegroups().

TiXmlNode * TiXmlNode::InsertEndChild ( const TiXmlNode addThis)

Add a new node related to this. Adds a child past the LastChild. Returns a pointer to the new object or NULL if an error occured.

References Clone(), and Type().

Referenced by luiza::XMLParser::parse().

const TiXmlNode * TiXmlNode::IterateChildren ( const TiXmlNode previous) const

An alternate way to walk the children of a node. One way to iterate over nodes is:

        for( child = parent->FirstChild(); child; child = child->NextSibling() )

IterateChildren does the same thing with the syntax:

        child = 0;
        while( child = parent->IterateChildren( child ) )

IterateChildren takes the previous child as input and finds the next one. If the previous child is null, it returns the first. IterateChildren will return null when done.

References NextSibling().

Referenced by luiza::XMLParser::findElement(), gloria::GloriaNetworkMgr::LoadConfigXML(), luiza::XMLParser::parametersFromNode(), luiza::XMLParser::parse(), luiza::XMLParser::processconditions(), and luiza::XMLParser::replacegroups().

TiXmlNode * TiXmlNode::LinkEndChild ( TiXmlNode addThis)

Add a new node related to this. Adds a child past the LastChild.

NOTE: the node to be added is passed by pointer, and will be
henceforth owned (and deleted) by tinyXml. This method is efficient
and avoids an extra copy, but should be used with care as it
uses a different memory model than the other insert functions.

const TiXmlElement * TiXmlNode::NextSiblingElement ( ) const

Convenience function to get through elements. Calls NextSibling and ToElement. Will skip all non-Element nodes. Returns 0 if there is not another element.

References NextSibling(), and ToElement().

Referenced by TiXmlHandle::ChildElement().

const TiXmlElement * TiXmlNode::NextSiblingElement ( const char *  _value) const

Convenience function to get through elements. Calls NextSibling and ToElement. Will skip all non-Element nodes. Returns 0 if there is not another element.

References NextSibling(), and ToElement().

TiXmlNode * TiXmlNode::ReplaceChild ( TiXmlNode replaceThis,
const TiXmlNode withThis 
)

Replace a child of this node. Returns a pointer to the new object or NULL if an error occured.

References Clone().

void TiXmlNode::SetValue ( const char *  _value)
inline

Changes the value of the node. Defined as:

    Document:   filename of the xml file
    Element:    name of the element
    Comment:    the comment text
    Unknown:    the tag contents
    Text:               the text string

Referenced by TiXmlComment::TiXmlComment(), and TiXmlText::TiXmlText().

int TiXmlNode::Type ( ) const
inline

Query the type (as an enumerated value, above) of this node. The possible types are: DOCUMENT, ELEMENT, COMMENT, UNKNOWN, TEXT, and DECLARATION.

Referenced by InsertAfterChild(), InsertBeforeChild(), InsertEndChild(), and LinkEndChild().

const char* TiXmlNode::Value ( ) const
inline

The meaning of 'value' changes for the specific type of TiXmlNode.

    Document:   filename of the xml file
    Element:    name of the element
    Comment:    the comment text
    Unknown:    the tag contents
    Text:               the text string

The subclasses will wrap this function.

Referenced by TiXmlElement::Clone(), FirstChild(), luiza::XMLParser::getAttribute(), TiXmlElement::GetText(), TiXmlDocument::LoadFile(), NextSibling(), luiza::XMLParser::parametersFromNode(), luiza::XMLParser::parse(), PreviousSibling(), luiza::XMLParser::processconditions(), luiza::XMLParser::replacegroups(), TiXmlDocument::SaveFile(), TiXmlPrinter::Visit(), TiXmlPrinter::VisitEnter(), and TiXmlPrinter::VisitExit().

const std::string& TiXmlNode::ValueStr ( ) const
inline

Return Value() as a std::string. If you only use STL, this is more efficient than calling Value(). Only available in STL mode.

Friends And Related Function Documentation

std::ostream& operator<< ( std::ostream &  out,
const TiXmlNode base 
)
friend

An output stream operator, for every class. Note that this outputs without any newlines or formatting, as opposed to Print(), which includes tabs and new lines.

The operator<< and operator>> are not completely symmetric. Writing a node to a stream is very well defined. You'll get a nice stream of output, without any extra whitespace or newlines.

But reading is not as well defined. (As it always is.) If you create a TiXmlElement (for example) and read that from an input stream, the text needs to define an element or junk will result. This is true of all input streams, but it's worth keeping in mind.

A TiXmlDocument will read nodes until it reads a root element, and all the children of that root element.

std::istream& operator>> ( std::istream &  in,
TiXmlNode base 
)
friend

An input stream operator, for every class. Tolerant of newlines and formatting, but doesn't expect them.
