Loading an XML File
-------------------
You load an XML file using the [mxmlLoadFile](@@) function:
You load an XML file using the [mxmlLoadFilename](@@) function:
```c
mxml_node_t *
mxmlLoadFilename(mxml_node_t *top, const char *filename,
mxml_load_cb_t load_cb, void *load_cbdata,
mxml_sax_cb_t sax_cb, void *sax_cbdata);
mxmlLoadFilename(mxml_node_t *top, mxml_options_t *options,
const char *filename);
```
Mini-XML also provides functions to load from a `FILE` pointer, a file
descriptor, a string, or using a callback:
```c
mxml_node_t *
mxmlLoadFd(mxml_node_t *top, mxml_options_t *options,
int fd);
mxml_node_t *
mxmlLoadFile(mxml_node_t *top, mxml_options_t *options,
FILE *fp);
mxml_node_t *
mxmlLoadIO(mxml_node_t *top, mxml_options_t *options,
mxml_io_cb_t io_cb, void *io_cbdata);
mxml_node_t *
mxmlLoadString(mxml_node_t *top, mxml_options_t *options,
const char *s);
```
Each accepts a pointer to the top-most ("root") node (usually `NULL`) you want
to add the XML data to, any load options, and the content to be loaded. For
example, the following code will load an XML file called "example.xml" using the
default load options:
```c
mxml_node_t *xml;
xml = mxmlLoadFilename(/*top*/NULL, /*options*/NULL, "example.xml");
```
### Load Options
Load options are specified using a `mxml_options_t` object, which you create
using the [mxmlOptionsNew](@@) function:
```c
mxml_options_t *options = mxmlOptionsNew();
```
The default load options will treat any values in your XML as whitespace-
delimited text (`MXML_TYPE_TEXT`). You can specify a different type of values
using the [mxmlOptionsSetTypeValue](@@) function. For example, the following
will specify that values are opaque text strings, including whitespace
(`MXML_TYPE_OPAQUE`):
```c
mxmlOptionsSetTypeValue(options, MXML_TYPE_OPAQUE);
```
For more complex XML documents, you can specify a callback that returns the type
of value for a given element node using the [mxmlOptionsSetTypeCallback](@@)
function. For example, to specify a callback function called `my_type_cb` that
has no callback data:
```c
mxmlOptionsSetTypeValue(options, my_type_cb, /*cbdata*/NULL);
```
The `my_type_cb` function accepts the callback data pointer (`NULL` in this
case) and the `mxml_node_t` pointer for the current element and returns a
`mxml_type_t` enumeration value specifying the value type for child nodes:
The `load_cb` argument specifies a function that assigns child (value) node
types for each element in the document. The default callback (`NULL`) supports
passing a pointer to an `mxml_type_t` variable containing the type of value

Mini-XML also provides functions to load from a `FILE` pointer, a file
descriptor, or string:
```c
mxml_node_t *
mxmlLoadFd(mxml_node_t *top, int fd,
mxml_load_cb_t load_cb, void *load_cbdata,
mxml_sax_cb_t sax_cb, void *sax_cbdata);

mxml_load_cb_t load_cb, void *load_cbdata,
mxml_sax_cb_t sax_cb, void *sax_cbdata);
```
### Load Callbacks
The `load_xxx` arguments to the mxmlLoadXxx functions are a callback function
and a data pointer which are used to determine the value type of each data node
