.TH mxml 3 "Mini-XML API" "2024-11-17" "Mini-XML API" .SH NAME mxml \- Mini-XML API .SH INCLUDE FILE #include .SH LIBRARY \-lmxml .SH DESCRIPTION Mini-XML is a small XML parsing library that you can use to read XML and XML-like data files in your application without requiring large non-standard libraries. Mini-XML only requires an ANSI C compatible compiler (GCC works, as do most vendors' ANSI C compilers) and a "make" program. .PP Mini-XML provides the following functionality: .IP \(bu 4 Reading of UTF-8 and UTF-16 and writing of UTF-8 encoded XML files and strings. .IP \(bu 4 Data is stored in a linked-list tree structure, preserving the XML data hierarchy. .IP \(bu 4 Supports arbitrary element names, attributes, and attribute values with no preset limits, just available memory. .IP \(bu 4 Supports integer, real, opaque ("CDATA"), and text data types in "leaf" nodes. .IP \(bu 4 Functions for creating, indexing, and managing trees of data. .IP \(bu 4 "Find" and "walk" functions for easily locating and navigating trees of data. .PP Mini-XML doesn't do validation or other types of processing on the data based upon schema files or other sources of definition information, nor does it support character entities other than those required by the XML specification. .SH USING MINI-XML Mini-XML provides a single header file which you include: .nf #include .fi .PP Nodes are defined by the "mxml_node_t" structure; the "type" member defines the node type (element, integer, opaque, real, or text) which determines which value you want to look at in the "value" union. New nodes can be created using the "mxmlNewElement()", "mxmlNewInteger()", "mxmlNewOpaque()", "mxmlNewReal()", and "mxmlNewText()" functions. Only elements can have child nodes, and the top node must be an element, usually "?xml". .PP You load an XML file using the "mxmlLoadFile()" function: .nf FILE *fp; mxml_node_t *tree; fp = fopen("filename.xml", "r"); tree = mxmlLoadFile(NULL, fp, MXML_NO_CALLBACK); fclose(fp); .fi .PP Similarly, you save an XML file using the "mxmlSaveFile()" function: .nf FILE *fp; mxml_node_t *tree; fp = fopen("filename.xml", "w"); mxmlSaveFile(tree, fp, MXML_NO_CALLBACK); fclose(fp); .fi .PP The "mxmlLoadString()", "mxmlSaveAllocString()", and "mxmlSaveString()" functions load XML node trees from and save XML node trees to strings: .nf char buffer[8192]; char *ptr; mxml_node_t *tree; ... tree = mxmlLoadString(NULL, buffer, MXML_NO_CALLBACK); ... mxmlSaveString(tree, buffer, sizeof(buffer), MXML_NO_CALLBACK); ... ptr = mxmlSaveAllocString(tree, MXML_NO_CALLBACK); .fi .PP You can find a named element/node using the "mxmlFindElement()" function: .nf mxml_node_t *node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, "name", "attr", "value", MXML_DESCEND); .fi .PP The "name", "attr", and "value" arguments can be passed as NULL to act as wildcards, e.g.: .nf /* Find the first "a" element */ node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, "a", NULL, NULL, MXML_DESCEND); /* Find the first "a" element with "href" attribute */ node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, "a", "href", NULL, MXML_DESCEND); /* Find the first "a" element with "href" to a URL */ node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, "a", "href", "http://www.easysw.com/~mike/mxml/", MXML_DESCEND); /* Find the first element with a "src" attribute*/ node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, NULL, "src", NULL, MXML_DESCEND); /* Find the first element with a "src" = "foo.jpg" */ node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, NULL, "src", "foo.jpg", MXML_DESCEND); .fi .PP You can also iterate with the same function: .nf mxml_node_t *node; for (node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, "name", NULL, NULL, MXML_DESCEND); node != NULL; node = mxmlFindElement(node, tree, "name", NULL, NULL, MXML_DESCEND)) { ... do something ... } .fi .PP To find the value of a specific node in the tree, use the "mxmlFindPath()" function: .nf mxml_node_t *value = mxmlFindPath(tree, "path/to/*/foo/bar"); .fi .PP The "mxmlGetInteger()", "mxmlGetOpaque()", "mxmlGetReal()", and "mxmlGetText()" functions retrieve the value from a node: .nf mxml_node_t *node; long intvalue = mxmlGetInteger(node); const char *opaquevalue = mxmlGetOpaque(node); double realvalue = mxmlGetReal(node); bool whitespacevalue; const char *textvalue = mxmlGetText(node, &whitespacevalue); .fi .PP Finally, once you are done with the XML data, use the "mxmlDelete()" function to recursively free the memory that is used for a particular node or the entire tree: .nf mxmlDelete(tree); .fi .SH ENUMERATIONS .SS mxml_add_e \fImxmlAdd\fR add values .TP 5 MXML_ADD_AFTER .br Add node after specified node .TP 5 MXML_ADD_BEFORE .br Add node before specified node .SS mxml_descend_e \fImxmlFindElement\fR, \fImxmlWalkNext\fR, and \fImxmlWalkPrev\fR descend values .TP 5 MXML_DESCEND_ALL .br Descend when finding/walking .TP 5 MXML_DESCEND_FIRST .br Descend for first find .TP 5 MXML_DESCEND_NONE .br Don't descend when finding/walking .SS mxml_sax_event_e SAX event type. .TP 5 MXML_SAX_EVENT_CDATA .br CDATA node .TP 5 MXML_SAX_EVENT_COMMENT .br Comment node .TP 5 MXML_SAX_EVENT_DATA .br Data node .TP 5 MXML_SAX_EVENT_DECLARATION .br Declaration node .TP 5 MXML_SAX_EVENT_DIRECTIVE .br Processing instruction node .TP 5 MXML_SAX_EVENT_ELEMENT_CLOSE .br Element closed .TP 5 MXML_SAX_EVENT_ELEMENT_OPEN .br Element opened .SS mxml_type_e The XML node type. .TP 5 MXML_TYPE_CDATA .br CDATA value (" .URL [CDATA[...]] [CDATA[...]] ") .TP 5 MXML_TYPE_COMMENT .br Comment (" .URL !--...-- !--...-- ") .TP 5 MXML_TYPE_CUSTOM .br Custom data .TP 5 MXML_TYPE_DECLARATION .br Declaration (" .URL !... !...

If the \fBchild\fR argument is not \fBNULL\fR, the new node is added before or after the specified child depending on the value of the \fBadd\fR argument. If the \fBchild\fR argument is \fBNULL\fR, the new node is placed at the beginning of the child list (\fBMXML_ADD_BEFORE\fR) or at the end of the child list (\fBMXML_ADD_AFTER\fR). .SS mxmlDelete Delete a node and all of its children. .PP .nf void mxmlDelete ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .PP This function deletes the node \fBnode\fR and all of its children. If the specified node has a parent, this function first removes the node from its parent using the \fImxmlRemove\fR function. .SS mxmlElementClearAttr Remove an attribute from an element. .PP .nf void mxmlElementClearAttr ( mxml_node_t *node, const char *name ); .fi .PP This function removes the attribute \fBname\fR from the element \fBnode\fR. .SS mxmlElementGetAttr Get the value of an attribute. .PP .nf const char * mxmlElementGetAttr ( mxml_node_t *node, const char *name ); .fi .PP This function gets the value for the attribute \fBname\fR from the element \fBnode\fR. \fBNULL\fR is returned if the node is not an element or the named attribute does not exist. .SS mxmlElementGetAttrByIndex Get an attribute by index. .PP .nf const char * mxmlElementGetAttrByIndex ( mxml_node_t *node, size_t idx, const char **name ); .fi .PP This function returned the Nth (\fBidx\fR) attribute for element \fBnode\fR.

If the named attribute already exists, the value of the attribute is replaced by the new string value. The string value is copied. .SS mxmlElementSetAttrf Set an attribute with a formatted value. .PP .nf void mxmlElementSetAttrf ( mxml_node_t *node, const char *name, const char *format, ... ); .fi .PP This function sets attribute \fBname\fR to the formatted value of \fBformat\fR for the element \fBnode\fR. If the named attribute already exists, the value of the attribute is replaced by the new formatted string value. .SS mxmlFindElement Find the named element. .PP .nf mxml_node_t * mxmlFindElement ( mxml_node_t *node, mxml_node_t *top, const char *element, const char *attr, const char *value, mxml_descend_t descend ); .fi .PP This function finds the named element \fBelement\fR in XML tree \fBtop\fR starting at node \fBnode\fR. The search is constrained by element name \fBelement\fR, attribute name \fBattr\fR, and attribute value \fBvalue\fR - \fBNULL\fR names or values are treated as wildcards, so different kinds of searches can be implemented by looking for all elements of a given name or all elements with a specific attribute. .PP The \fBdescend\fR argument determines whether the search descends into child nodes; normally you will use \fBMXML_DESCEND_FIRST\fR for the initial search and \fBMXML_DESCEND_NONE\fR to find additional direct descendents of the node. .SS mxmlFindPath Find a node with the given path. .PP .nf mxml_node_t * mxmlFindPath ( mxml_node_t *top, const char *path ); .fi .PP This function finds a node in XML tree \fBtop\fR using a slash-separated list of element names in \fBpath\fR. The name "\fI" is considered a wildcard for one or more levels of elements, for example, "foo/one/two", "bar/two/one", "\fR/one", and so forth. .PP The first child node of the found node is returned if the given node has children and the first child is a value node. .SS mxmlGetCDATA Get the value for a CDATA node. .PP .nf const char * mxmlGetCDATA ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .PP This function gets the string value of a CDATA node. \fBNULL\fR is returned if the node is not a CDATA element. .SS mxmlGetComment Get the value for a comment node. .PP .nf const char * mxmlGetComment ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .PP This function gets the string value of a comment node. \fBNULL\fR is returned if the node is not a comment. .SS mxmlGetCustom Get the value for a custom node. .PP .nf const void * mxmlGetCustom ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .PP This function gets the binary value of a custom node. \fBNULL\fR is returned if the node (or its first child) is not a custom value node. .SS mxmlGetDeclaration Get the value for a declaration node. .PP .nf const char * mxmlGetDeclaration ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .PP This function gets the string value of a declaraction node. \fBNULL\fR is returned if the node is not a declaration. .SS mxmlGetDirective Get the value for a processing instruction node. .PP .nf const char * mxmlGetDirective ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .PP This function gets the string value of a processing instruction. \fBNULL\fR is returned if the node is not a processing instruction. .SS mxmlGetElement Get the name for an element node. .PP .nf const char * mxmlGetElement ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .PP This function gets the name of an element node. \fBNULL\fR is returned if the node is not an element node. .SS mxmlGetFirstChild Get the first child of a node. .PP .nf mxml_node_t * mxmlGetFirstChild ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .PP This function gets the first child of a node. \fBNULL\fR is returned if the node has no children. .SS mxmlGetInteger Get the integer value from the specified node or its first child. .PP .nf long mxmlGetInteger ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .PP This function gets the value of an integer node. \fB0\fR is returned if the node (or its first child) is not an integer value node. .SS mxmlGetLastChild Get the last child of a node. .PP .nf mxml_node_t * mxmlGetLastChild ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .PP This function gets the last child of a node. \fBNULL\fR is returned if the node has no children. .SS mxmlGetNextSibling .PP .nf mxml_node_t * mxmlGetNextSibling ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .SS mxmlGetOpaque Get an opaque string value for a node or its first child. .PP .nf const char * mxmlGetOpaque ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .PP This function gets the string value of an opaque node. \fBNULL\fR is returned if the node (or its first child) is not an opaque value node. .SS mxmlGetParent Get the parent node. .PP .nf mxml_node_t * mxmlGetParent ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .PP This function gets the parent of a node. \fBNULL\fR is returned for a root node. .SS mxmlGetPrevSibling Get the previous node for the current parent. .PP .nf mxml_node_t * mxmlGetPrevSibling ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .PP This function gets the previous node for the current parent. \fBNULL\fR is returned if this is the first child for the current parent. .SS mxmlGetReal Get the real value for a node or its first child. .PP .nf double mxmlGetReal ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .PP This function gets the value of a real value node. \fB0.0\fR is returned if the node (or its first child) is not a real value node. .SS mxmlGetRefCount Get the current reference (use) count for a node. .PP .nf size_t mxmlGetRefCount ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .PP The initial reference count of new nodes is 1. Use the \fImxmlRetain\fR and \fImxmlRelease\fR functions to increment and decrement a node's reference count. .SS mxmlGetText Get the text value for a node or its first child. .PP .nf const char * mxmlGetText ( mxml_node_t *node, bool *whitespace ); .fi .PP This function gets the string and whitespace values of a text node. \fBNULL\fR and \fBfalse\fR are returned if the node (or its first child) is not a text node. The \fBwhitespace\fR argument can be \fBNULL\fR if you don't want to know the whitespace value. .PP Note: Text nodes consist of whitespace-delimited words. You will only get single words of text when reading an XML file with \fBMXML_TYPE_TEXT\fR nodes. If you want the entire string between elements in the XML file, you MUST read the XML file with \fBMXML_TYPE_OPAQUE\fR nodes and get the resulting strings using the \fImxmlGetOpaque\fR function instead. .SS mxmlGetType Get the node type. .PP .nf mxml_type_t mxmlGetType ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .PP This function gets the type of \fBnode\fR. \fBMXML_TYPE_IGNORE\fR is returned if \fBnode\fR is \fBNULL\fR. .SS mxmlGetUserData Get the user data pointer for a node. .PP .nf void * mxmlGetUserData ( mxml_node_t *node ); .fi .PP This function gets the user data pointer associated with \fBnode\fR. .SS mxmlIndexDelete Delete an index. .PP .nf void mxmlIndexDelete ( mxml_index_t *ind ); .fi .SS mxmlIndexEnum Return the next node in the index. .PP .nf mxml_node_t * mxmlIndexEnum ( mxml_index_t *ind ); .fi .PP This function returns the next node in index \fBind\fR. .PP You should call \fImxmlIndexReset\fR prior to using this function to get the first node in the index.

Passing \fBNULL\fR for both \fBelement\fR and \fBvalue\fR is equivalent to calling \fImxmlIndexEnum\fR. .SS mxmlIndexGetCount Get the number of nodes in an index. .PP .nf size_t mxmlIndexGetCount ( mxml_index_t *ind ); .fi .SS mxmlIndexNew Create a new index. .PP .nf mxml_index_t * mxmlIndexNew ( mxml_node_t *node, const char *element, const char *attr ); .fi .PP This function creates a new index for XML tree \fBnode\fR. .PP The index will contain all nodes that contain the named element and/or attribute. If both \fBelement\fR and \fBattr\fR are \fBNULL\fR, then the index will contain a sorted list of the elements in the node tree. Nodes are sorted by element name and optionally by attribute value if the \fBattr\fR argument is not \fBNULL\fR. .SS mxmlIndexReset Reset the enumeration/find pointer in the index and return the first node in the index. .PP .nf mxml_node_t * mxmlIndexReset ( mxml_index_t *ind ); .fi .PP This function resets the enumeration/find pointer in index \fBind\fR and should be called prior to using \fImxmlIndexEnum\fR or \fImxmlIndexFind\fR for the first time. .SS mxmlLoadFd Load a file descriptor into an XML node tree. .PP .nf mxml_node_t * mxmlLoadFd ( mxml_node_t *top, mxml_options_t *options, int fd ); .fi .PP This function loads the file descriptor \fBfd\fR into an XML node tree.

The nodes in the specified file are added to the specified node \fBtop\fR - if \fBNULL\fR the XML file MUST be well-formed with a single parent processing instruction node like \fB\fR at the start of the file. .PP Load options are provides via the \fBoptions\fR argument. If \fBNULL\fR, all values will be loaded into \fBMXML_TYPE_TEXT\fR nodes. Use the \fImxmlOptionsNew\fR function to create options when loading XML data. .PP The read callback function \fBio_cb\fR is called to read a number of bytes from the source.
