Add a node to a tree. Adds the specified node to the parent. If the child argument is not NULL, puts the new node before or after the specified child depending on the value of the where argument. If the child argument is NULL, puts the new node at the beginning of the child list (MXML_ADD_BEFORE) or at the end of the child list (MXML_ADD_AFTER). The constant MXML_ADD_TO_PARENT can be used to specify a NULL child pointer.
void

mxml_node_t * child,
mxml_node_t * node);
| Name | Description |

| where | Where to add, MXML_ADD_BEFORE or MXML_ADD_AFTER |
| child | Child node for where or MXML_ADD_TO_PARENT |
| node | Node to add |
Nothing.
Delete a node and all of its children. If the specified node has a parent, this function first removes the node from its parent using the mxmlRemove() function.
void
mxmlDelete(
mxml_node_t * node);
| Name | Description |
|---|---|

Get an attribute. This function returns NULL if the node is not an element or the named attribute does not exist.

mxmlElementGetAttr(
mxml_node_t * node,
const char * name);
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| node | Element node |
| name | Name of attribute |
Attribute value or NULL
Set an attribute. If the named attribute already exists, the value of the attribute is replaced by the new string value. The string value is copied into the element node. This function does nothing if the node is not an element.
void
mxmlElementSetAttr(
mxml_node_t * node,
const char * name,

Find the named element. The search is constrained by the name, attribute name, and value; any NULL 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. The descend argument determines whether the search descends into child nodes; normally you will use MXML_DESCEND_FIRST for the initial search and MXML_NO_DESCEND to find additional direct descendents of the node. The top node argument constrains the search to a particular node's children.

Load a file into an XML node tree. The nodes in the specified file are added to the specified top node. If no top node is provided, the XML file MUST be well-formed with a single parent node like <?xml> for the entire file. The callback function returns the value type that should be used for child nodes. If MXML_NO_CALLBACK is specified then all child nodes will be either MXML_ELEMENT or MXML_TEXT nodes. The constants MXML_INTEGER_CALLBACK, MXML_OPAQUE_CALLBACK, MXML_REAL_CALLBACK, and MXML_TEXT_CALLBACK are defined for loading child nodes of the specified type.
