Documentation

An XML Tag represented as a single class.

This is a parsed xml tag. It stores all properties and all nested nodes and the text between the start tag. It can be used as a combined tree, array and associative map data structure without any artificial size limits.

Terminology:

• tag - everything betweem <name> and </name> including the tag name and properties
• node - same as tag
• property - A value stored in the tag start <tag property="value">
• child nodes - nested nodes <tag> <child> </child> </tag>
• data - Text between start and end tag

Example:

  <tag property1="value" property2="a value">
  .. some text here ..
  </tag>

int intProperty(const string &name)

Return property as an integer if possible, otherwise 0

bool hasChild(const string &name, int n=1)

true if the node has a child with the specified name

Parameters:

name - name of tag to look for
n - how many tags are required (n=2 means there has to be two children with the specified name)

int numChildren(const string &name)

Return how many children of a specified name there is in the node

vector<XMLNode> & children()

Return all children

const vector<XMLNode> & const_children() const

Return all children (read only)

XMLNode& child(const string &name, int n=1)

Return a single child

Parameters:

name - name of tag to look for
n - which tag to return if there are more than one

XMLNode& setName(const string &name)

Set tag name

XMLNode& setData(const string &data)

Set data

XMLNode& setCData(const string &data)

Set data as cdata sections

XMLNode& setProperty(const string &name, int value)

XMLNode& addChild( XMLNode &node)

Add a child node to the tree

XMLNode& addChild(const string &name, const string &data="")

- " -

XMLNode& delChild(const string &name, int n=1)

Delete a child node

Parameters:

name - name of tag to look for
n - which tag to delete if there are more than one

XMLNode& operator<<(const string &str)

Parse a string into a XMLNode directly

operator string() const

Implicitly convert to string

string& operator[](const string &name)

Set and get tag properties using operator[]

const string operator[](const string &name) const
