roxml_add_node ( node_t parent,
int  position,
int  type,
char *  name,
char *  value 
)

add a node to the tree

this function add a new node to the tree. This will not update de buffer or file, only the RAM loaded tree. One should call roxml_commit_changes to save modifications. If the parent node is an ROXML_ELM_NODE, then, new node will be added as a child. Else the node will be added as a sibling of the parent node. In the later case, position parameter describes the position in the sibling list, instead of position in the children list.

Parameters
parentthe parent node
positionthe position as a child of parent 1 is the first child, 0 for auto position at the end of children list...
typethe type of node between ROXML_ATTR_NODE, ROXML_ELM_NODE, ROXML_TXT_NODE, ROXML_CDATA_NODE, ROXML_PI_NODE, ROXML_CMT_NODE, ROXML_NSDEF_NODE, ROXML_NS_NODE.
namethe name of the node (mandatory for ROXML_ATTR_NODE and ROXML_ELM_NODE and ROXML_PI_NODE and ROXML_NSDEF_NODE and ROXML_NS_NODE only)
valuethe text content (mandatory for ROXML_TXT_NODE, ROXML_CDATA_NODE, ROXML_CMT_NODE, ROXML_ATTR_NODE and ROXML_NSDEF_NODE optional for ROXML_ELM_NODE, ROXML_PI_NODE). The text content for an attribute is the attribute value
Returns
the newly created node
See Also
roxml_commit_changes
roxml_del_node
roxml_close

paramaters name and value depending on node type:

  • ROXML_ELM_NODE take at least a node name. the parameter value is optional and represents the text content.
  • ROXML_TXT_NODE ignore the node name. the parameter value represents the text content.
  • ROXML_CDATA_NODE ignore the node name. the parameter value represents the text content that will be encapsulated in CDATA tags.
  • ROXML_CMT_NODE ignore the node name. the parameter value represents the comment.
  • ROXML_PI_NODE take the node name as process-instruction target. the parameter value represents the content of processing-instruction.
  • ROXML_ATTR_NODE take an attribute name. and the attribute value as given by parameter value.
  • ROXML_NSDEF_NODE take an attribute name (empty string for default namespace). and the namespace value as given by parameter value.
  • ROXML_NS_NODE take an attribute name (empty string for default namespace).

some examples to obtain this xml result file

<root>
 <!-- sample XML file -->
 <item id="42">
  <price> 
   24 
  </price>
 </item>
</root>
* #include <roxml.h>
*
* int main(void)
* {
* node_t *root = roxml_add_node(NULL, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "xml", NULL);
* node_t *tmp = roxml_add_node(root, 0, ROXML_CMT_NODE, NULL, "sample XML file");
* tmp = roxml_add_node(root, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "item", NULL);
* roxml_add_node(tmp, 0, ROXML_ATTR_NODE, "id", "42");
* tmp = roxml_add_node(tmp, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "price", "24");
* roxml_commit_changes(root, "/tmp/test.xml", NULL, 1);
* roxml_close(root);
* return 0;
* }
*

Or also:

* #include <roxml.h>
*
* int main(void)
* {
* node_t *root = roxml_add_node(NULL, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "xml", NULL);
* node_t *tmp = roxml_add_node(root, 0, ROXML_CMT_NODE, NULL, "sample XML file");
* tmp = roxml_add_node(root, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "item", NULL);
* roxml_add_node(tmp, 0, ROXML_ATTR_NODE, "id", "42");
* tmp = roxml_add_node(tmp, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "price", NULL);
* tmp = roxml_add_node(tmp, 0, ROXML_TXT_NODE, NULL, "24");
* roxml_commit_changes(root, "/tmp/test.xml", NULL, 1);
* roxml_close(root);
* return 0;
* }
*

If you need a valid XML doc, just start by adding a corresponding process-instruction. Example, to obtain this xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--sample file-->
<doc>
 basic content
 <item/>
 <item/>
 <item/>
</doc>
* #include <roxml.h>
*
* int main(void)
* {
* node_t *root = roxml_add_node(NULL, 0, ROXML_PI_NODE, "xml", "version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"");
* node_t *node = roxml_add_node(root, 0, ROXML_CMT_NODE, NULL, "sample file");
* node = roxml_add_node(root, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "doc", "basic content");
* roxml_add_node(node, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "item", NULL);
* roxml_add_node(node, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "item", NULL);
* roxml_add_node(node, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "item", NULL);
* roxml_commit_changes(root, "/tmp/test.xml", NULL, 1);
* roxml_close(root);
* return 0;
* }

void ROXML_API roxml_close ( node_t n)

unload function

This function clear a document and all the corresponding nodes It release all memory allocated during roxml_load_doc or roxml_load_file or roxml_add_node. All nodes from the tree are not available anymore.

Parameters
nis any node of the tree to be cleaned
Returns
void

roxml_load_buf
roxml_add_node

Definition at line 341 of file roxml.c.

roxml_commit_changes ( node_t n,
char *  dest,
char **  buffer,
int  human 
)

sync function

this function sync changes from the RAM tree to the given buffer or file in human or one-line format The tree will be processed starting with the root node 'n' and following with all its children or if n is the root, all its siblings and children. The tree will be dumped to a file if 'dest' is not null and contains a valid path. The tree will be dumped to a buffer if 'buffer' is not null. the buffer is allocated by the library and a pointer to it will be stored into 'buffer'. The allocated buffer can be freed usinf free()

Warning
in the case of a tree loaded using roxml_load_doc, the roxml_commit_changes cannot be done to that same file since it may override datas it need. This usually result in a new file filled with garbages. The solution is to write it to a temporary file and rename it after roxml_close the current tree.
Parameters
nthe root node of the tree to write
destthe path to a file to write tree to
bufferthe address of a buffer where the tree will be written. This buffer have to be freed after use
human0 for one-line tree, or 1 for human format (using tabs, newlines...)
Returns
the number of bytes written to file or buffer

One should do:

* #include <roxml.h>
*
* int main(void)
* {
* node_t *root = roxml_add_node(NULL, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "xml", NULL);
* node_t *tmp = roxml_add_node(root, 0, ROXML_CMT_NODE, NULL, "sample XML file");
* tmp = roxml_add_node(root, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "item", NULL);
* roxml_add_node(tmp, 0, ROXML_ATTR_NODE, "id", "42");
* tmp = roxml_add_node(tmp, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "price", "24");
* roxml_commit_changes(root, "/tmp/test.xml", NULL, 1);
* return 0;
* }
*

to generate the following xml bloc:

<root>
 <!-- sample XML file -->
 <item id="42">
  <price> 
   24 
  </price>
 </item>
</root>

or also

* #include <roxml.h>
*
* int main(void)
* {
* node_t *root = roxml_add_node(NULL, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "xml", NULL);
* node_t *tmp = roxml_add_node(root, 0, ROXML_CMT_NODE, NULL, "sample XML file");
* tmp = roxml_add_node(root, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "item", NULL);
* roxml_add_node(tmp, 0, ROXML_ATTR_NODE, "id", "42");
* tmp = roxml_add_node(tmp, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "price", "24");
* roxml_commit_changes(root, "/tmp/test.xml", NULL, 0);
* roxml_close(root);
* return 0;
* }
*

to generate the following xml bloc:

<root><!-- sample XML file --><item id="42"><price>24</price></item></root>

the buffer variant works more or less the same way

* #include <stdio.h>
* #include <roxml.h>
*
* int main(void)
* {
* int len = 0;
* char * buffer = NULL;
* FILE * file_out;
* node_t *root = roxml_add_node(NULL, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "xml", NULL);
* node_t *tmp = roxml_add_node(root, 0, ROXML_CMT_NODE, NULL, "sample XML file");
* tmp = roxml_add_node(root, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "item", NULL);
* roxml_add_node(tmp, 0, ROXML_ATTR_NODE, "id", "42");
* tmp = roxml_add_node(tmp, 0, ROXML_ELM_NODE, "price", "24");
*
* len = roxml_commit_changes(root, NULL, &buffer, 0);
*
* file_out = fopen("/tmp/test.xml", "w");
* fwrite(buffer, 1, len, file_out);
* fclose(file_out);
*
* roxml_close(root);
* return 0;
* }
*

to generate the following xml bloc:

<root><!-- sample XML file --><item id="42"><price>24</price></item></root>

node_t *ROXML_API roxml_get_root ( node_t n)

root getter function

This function returns the root of a tree containing the given node The root is defined as a virtual node that contains all first rank nodes if document is not a valid xml document:

<data1>
 <item/>
 <item/>
</data1>
<data2>
 <item/>
 <item/>
</data2>

will be processed successfully and the root node will have 2 children: data1 and data2

if document was:

<?xml version="1.0">
<doc>
 <data1>
  <item/>
  <item/>
 </data1>
 <data2>
  <item/>
  <item/>
 </data2>
</doc>

In this case, the node "doc" will be the root, and will contain 2 children: data1 and data2

For a document to be valid, following conditions must be met:

  • the first node is a processing instruction with the string "xml" as target application.
  • there is only one ELM node containing all document (but there may be several process-instructions or comments)
Parameters
nis one node of the tree
Returns
the root node

roxml_release ( void *  data)

memory cleanning function

This function release the memory pointed by pointer just like free would but for memory allocated with roxml_malloc. Freeing a NULL pointer won't do anything. roxml_release also allow you to remove all previously allocated memory by using RELEASE_ALL as argument. You can also safely use RELEASE_LAST argument that will release the previously allocated varable within the current thread (making this function thread safe). if using roxml_release on a variable non roxml_mallocated, nothing will happen (ie variable won't be freed)

Parameters
datathe pointer to delete or NULL or RELEASE_ALL or RELEASE_LAST
Returns
void

Definition at line 28 of file roxml.c.

node_t *ROXML_API roxml_set_ns ( node_t n,
node_t ns 
)

namespace setter function

This function set the namespace of a node to the given namespace definition. The namespace must be previously defined in the xml tree in an ancestor of node n.

Parameters
nis one node of the tree
nsis one nsdef node of the tree
Returns
the node or NULL if ns cannot be set
See Also
roxml_add_node
roxml_get_ns
roxml_get_nodes
Warning
: Setting a namespace to a node is recursif:
  • it will update all element and attribute that are descendant from current node
  • namespace will be applied to all new node added as descendant as current node
