<h2 class="title" id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
<p>Mini-XML is a small XML parsing library that you can use to read XML data files or strings in your application without requiring large non-standard libraries. Mini-XML provides the following functionality:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Reading of UTF-8 and UTF-16 and writing of UTF-8 encoded XML files and strings.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Data is stored in a linked-list tree structure, preserving the XML data hierarchy.</p>
</li>
<li><p>SAX (streamed) reading of XML files and strings to minimize memory usage.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Supports arbitrary element names, attributes, and attribute values with no preset limits, just available memory.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Supports integer, real, opaque (&quot;CDATA&quot;), text, and custom data types in &quot;leaf&quot; nodes.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Functions for creating and managing trees of data.</p>
</li>
<li><p>&quot;Find&quot; and &quot;walk&quot; functions for easily locating and navigating trees of data.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Support for custom string memory management functions to implement string pools and other schemes for reducing memory usage.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Mini-XML doesn't do validation or other types of processing on the data based upon schema files or other sources of definition information.</p>
<h3 class="title" id="history">History</h3>
<p>Mini-XML was initially developed for the <a href="http://gutenprint.sf.net/">Gutenprint</a> project to replace the rather large and unwieldy <code>libxml2</code> library with something substantially smaller and easier-to-use. It all began one morning in June of 2003 when Robert posted the following sentence to the developer's list:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>It's bad enough that we require libxml2, but rolling our own XML parser is a bit more than we can handle.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I then replied with:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Given the limited scope of what you use in XML, it should be trivial to code a mini-XML API in a few hundred lines of code.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I took my own challenge and coded furiously for two days to produce the initial public release of Mini-XML, total lines of code: 696. Robert promptly integrated Mini-XML into Gutenprint and removed libxml2.</p>
<p>Thanks to lots of feedback and support from various developers, Mini-XML has evolved since then to provide a more complete XML implementation and now stands at a whopping 3,491 lines of code, compared to 175,808 lines of code for libxml2 version 2.11.7.</p>
<h3 class="title" id="resources">Resources</h3>
<p>The Mini-XML home page can be found at <a href="https://www.msweet.org/mxml">https://www.msweet.org/mxml</a>. From there you can download the current version of Mini-XML, access the issue tracker, and find other resources.</p>
<p>Mini-XML v4 has a slightly different API than prior releases. See the <a href="#migrating-from-mini-xml-v3.x">Migrating from Mini-XML v3.x</a> chapter for details.</p>
<h3 class="title" id="legal-stuff">Legal Stuff</h3>
<p>The Mini-XML library is copyright © 2003-2024 by Michael R Sweet and is provided under the Apache License Version 2.0 with an (optional) exception to allow linking against GPL2/LGPL2-only software. See the files &quot;LICENSE&quot; and &quot;NOTICE&quot; for more information.</p>
<h2 class="title" id="using-mini-xml">Using Mini-XML</h2>
<p>Mini-XML provides a single header file which you include:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="directive">#include &lt;mxml.h&gt;</span>
</code></pre>
<p>The Mini-XML library is included with your program using the <code>-lmxml4</code> option:</p>
<pre><code>gcc -o myprogram myprogram.c -lmxml4
</code></pre>
<p>If you have the <code>pkg-config</code> software installed, you can use it to determine the proper compiler and linker options for your installation:</p>
<pre><code>gcc `pkg-config --cflags mxml4` -o myprogram myprogram.c `pkg-config --libs mxml4`
</code></pre>
<blockquote>
<p>Note: The library name &quot;mxml4&quot; is a configure-time option. If you use the <code>--disable-libmxml4-prefix</code> configure option the library is named &quot;mxml&quot;.</p>
</blockquote>
<h3 class="title" id="api-basics">API Basics</h3>
<p>Every piece of information in an XML file is stored in memory in &quot;nodes&quot;. Nodes are represented by <code>mxml_node_t</code> pointers. Each node has an associated type, value(s), a parent node, sibling nodes (previous and next), potentially first and last child nodes, and an optional user data pointer.</p>
<p>For example, if you have an XML file like the following:</p>
<pre><code class="language-xml"><span class="directive">&lt;?xml version=</span><span class="string">&quot;1.0&quot;</span><span class="directive"> encoding=</span><span class="string">&quot;utf-8&quot;</span><span class="directive">?&gt;</span>
<span class="reserved">&lt;data&gt;</span>
<span class="reserved">&lt;node&gt;</span>val1<span class="reserved">&lt;/node&gt;</span>
<span class="reserved">&lt;node&gt;</span>val2<span class="reserved">&lt;/node&gt;</span>
<span class="reserved">&lt;node&gt;</span>val3<span class="reserved">&lt;/node&gt;</span>
<span class="reserved">&lt;group&gt;</span>
<span class="reserved">&lt;node&gt;</span>val4<span class="reserved">&lt;/node&gt;</span>
<span class="reserved">&lt;node&gt;</span>val5<span class="reserved">&lt;/node&gt;</span>
<span class="reserved">&lt;node&gt;</span>val6<span class="reserved">&lt;/node&gt;</span>
<span class="reserved">&lt;/group&gt;</span>
<span class="reserved">&lt;node&gt;</span>val7<span class="reserved">&lt;/node&gt;</span>
<span class="reserved">&lt;node&gt;</span>val8<span class="reserved">&lt;/node&gt;</span>
<span class="reserved">&lt;/data&gt;</span>
</code></pre>
<p>the node tree for the file would look like the following in memory:</p>
<pre><code>&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;?&gt;
|
&lt;data&gt;
|
&lt;node&gt; - &lt;node&gt; - &lt;node&gt; - &lt;group&gt; - &lt;node&gt; - &lt;node&gt;
| | | | | |
val1 val2 val3 | val7 val8
|
&lt;node&gt; - &lt;node&gt; - &lt;node&gt;
| | |
val4 val5 val6
</code></pre>
<p>where &quot;-&quot; is a pointer to the sibling node and &quot;|&quot; is a pointer to the first child or parent node.</p>
<p>The <a href="#mxmlGetType">mxmlGetType</a> function gets the type of a node which is represented as a <code>mxml_type_t</code> enumeration value:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>MXML_TYPE_CDATA</code>: CDATA such as <code>&lt;![CDATA[...]]&gt;</code>,</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>MXML_TYPE_COMMENT</code>: A comment such as <code>&lt;!-- my comment --&gt;</code>,</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>MXML_TYPE_CUSTOM</code>: A custom value defined by your application,</p>
</li>

mxmlLoadFilename(mxml_node_t *top, mxml_options_t *options,
<span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *filename);

mxmlLoadString(mxml_node_t *top, mxml_options_t *options,
<span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *s);
</code></pre>
<p>Each accepts a pointer to the top-most (&quot;root&quot;) node (usually <code>NULL</code>) 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 &quot;example.xml&quot; using the default load options:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxml_node_t *xml;
xml = mxmlLoadFilename(<span class="comment">/*top*/</span>NULL, <span class="comment">/*options*/</span>NULL,
<span class="string">&quot;example.xml&quot;</span>);
</code></pre>
<h4 id="load-options">Load Options</h4>
<p>Load options are specified using a <code>mxml_options_t</code> pointer, which you create using the <a href="#mxmlOptionsNew">mxmlOptionsNew</a> function:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxml_options_t *options = mxmlOptionsNew();
</code></pre>
<p>The default load options will treat any values in your XML as whitespace- delimited text (<code>MXML_TYPE_TEXT</code>). You can specify a different type of values using the <a href="#mxmlOptionsSetTypeValue">mxmlOptionsSetTypeValue</a> function. For example, the following will specify that values are opaque text strings, including whitespace (<code>MXML_TYPE_OPAQUE</code>):</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxmlOptionsSetTypeValue(options, MXML_TYPE_OPAQUE);
</code></pre>
<p>For more complex XML documents, you can specify a callback that returns the type of value for a given element node using the <a href="#mxmlOptionsSetTypeCallback">mxmlOptionsSetTypeCallback</a> function. For example, to specify a callback function called <code>my_type_cb</code> that has no callback data:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxmlOptionsSetTypeCallback(options, my_type_cb, <span class="comment">/*cbdata*/</span>NULL);
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>my_type_cb</code> function accepts the callback data pointer (<code>NULL</code> in this case) and the <code>mxml_node_t</code> pointer for the current element and returns a <code>mxml_type_t</code> enumeration value specifying the value type for child nodes. For example, the following function looks at the &quot;type&quot; attribute and the element name to determine the value types of the node's children:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxml_type_t
my_load_cb(<span class="reserved">void</span> *cbdata, mxml_node_t *node)
{

<span class="reserved">return</span> (MXML_TYPE_TEXT);
}
</code></pre>
<h3 class="title" id="finding-nodes">Finding Nodes</h3>
<p>The <a href="#mxmlFindPath">mxmlFindPath</a> function finds the (first) value node under a specific element using a path. The path string can contain the &quot;*&quot; wildcard to match a single element node in the hierarchy. For example, the following code will find the first &quot;node&quot; element under the &quot;group&quot; element, first using an explicit path and then using a wildcard:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxml_node_t *directnode = mxmlFindPath(xml, <span class="string">&quot;data/group/node&quot;</span>);
mxml_node_t *wildnode = mxmlFindPath(xml, <span class="string">&quot;data/*/node&quot;</span>);
</code></pre>
<p>The <a href="#mxmlFindElement">mxmlFindElement</a> function can be used to find a named element, optionally matching an attribute and value:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxml_node_t *
mxmlFindElement(mxml_node_t *node, mxml_node_t *top,
<span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *element, <span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *attr,
<span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *value, <span class="reserved">int</span> descend);
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>element</code>, <code>attr</code>, and <code>value</code> arguments can be passed as <code>NULL</code> to act as wildcards, e.g.:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxml_node_t *node;
<span class="comment">/* Find the first &quot;a&quot; element */</span>
node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, <span class="string">&quot;a&quot;</span>, NULL, NULL,
MXML_DESCEND_ALL);
<span class="comment">/* Find the first &quot;a&quot; element with &quot;href&quot; attribute */</span>
node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, <span class="string">&quot;a&quot;</span>, <span class="string">&quot;href&quot;</span>, NULL,
MXML_DESCEND_ALL);
<span class="comment">/* Find the first &quot;a&quot; element with &quot;href&quot; to a URL */</span>
node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, <span class="string">&quot;a&quot;</span>, <span class="string">&quot;href&quot;</span>,
<span class="string">&quot;http://msweet.org/&quot;</span>,
MXML_DESCEND_ALL);

node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, NULL, <span class="string">&quot;src&quot;</span>, NULL,
MXML_DESCEND_ALL);
<span class="comment">/* Find the first element with a &quot;src&quot; = &quot;foo.jpg&quot; */</span>
node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, NULL, <span class="string">&quot;src&quot;</span>, <span class="string">&quot;foo.jpg&quot;</span>,
MXML_DESCEND_ALL);
</code></pre>
<p>You can also iterate with the same function:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxml_node_t *node;
<span class="reserved">for</span> (node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, <span class="string">&quot;element&quot;</span>, NULL,
NULL, MXML_DESCEND_ALL);
node != NULL;
node = mxmlFindElement(node, tree, <span class="string">&quot;element&quot;</span>, NULL,
NULL, MXML_DESCEND_ALL))
{
... <span class="reserved">do</span> something ...
}
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>descend</code> argument (<code>MXML_DESCEND_ALL</code> in the previous examples) can be one of three constants:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>MXML_DESCEND_NONE</code>: ignore child nodes in the element hierarchy, instead using siblings (same level) or parent nodes (above) until the top (root) node is reached.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>MXML_DESCEND_FIRST</code>: start the search with the first child of the node, and then search siblings. You'll normally use this when iterating through direct children of a parent node, e.g. all of the <code>&lt;node&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;group&gt;</code> elements under the <code>&lt;?xml ...?&gt;</code> parent node in the previous example.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>MXML_DESCEND_ALL</code>: search child nodes first, then sibling nodes, and then parent nodes.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="title" id="getting-the-values-from-nodes">Getting the Value(s) from Nodes</h3>
<p>Once you have the node you can use one of the mxmlGetXxx functions to retrieve its value(s).</p>
<p>Element (<code>MXML_TYPE_ELEMENT</code>) nodes have an associated name and zero or more named attributes with (string) values. The <a href="#mxmlGetElement">mxmlGetElement</a> function retrieves the element name while the <a href="#mxmlElementGetAttr">mxmlElementGetAttr</a> function retrieves the value string for a named attribute. For example, the following code looks for HTML heading elements and, when found, displays the &quot;id&quot; attribute for the heading:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *elemname = mxmlGetElement(node);
<span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *id_value = mxmlElementGetAttr(node, <span class="string">&quot;id&quot;</span>);
<span class="reserved">if</span> ((*elemname == <span class="string">'h'</span> || *elemname == <span class="string">'H'</span>) &amp;&amp;
elemname[<span class="number">1</span>] &gt;= <span class="string">'1'</span> &amp;&amp; elemname[<span class="number">1</span>] &lt;= <span class="string">'6'</span> &amp;&amp;
id_value != NULL)
printf(<span class="string">&quot;%s: %s\n&quot;</span>, elemname, id_value);
</code></pre>
<p>The <a href="#mxmlElementGetAttrByIndex">mxmlElementGetAttrByIndex</a> and <a href="#mxmlElementGetAttrCount">mxmlElementGetAttrCount</a> functions allow you to iterate all attributes of an element. For example, the following code prints the element name and each of its attributes:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *elemname = mxmlGetElement(node);
printf(<span class="string">&quot;%s:\n&quot;</span>, elemname);
size_t i, count;
<span class="reserved">for</span> (i = <span class="number">0</span>, count = mxmlElementGetAttrCount(node); i &lt; count; i ++)
{
<span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *attrname, *attrvalue;
attrvalue = mxmlElementGetAttrByIndex(node, i, &amp;attrname);
printf(<span class="string">&quot; %s=\&quot;%s\&quot;\n&quot;</span>, attrname, attrvalue);
}
</code></pre>
<p>CDATA (<code>MXML_TYPE_CDATA</code>) nodes have an associated string value consisting of the text between the <code>&lt;![CDATA[</code> and <code>]]&gt;</code> delimiters. The <a href="#mxmlGetCDATA">mxmlGetCDATA</a> function retrieves the CDATA string pointer for a node. For example, the following code gets the CDATA string value:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *cdatavalue = mxmlGetCDATA(node);
</code></pre>
<p>Comment (<code>MXML_TYPE_COMMENT</code>) nodes have an associated string value consisting of the text between the <code>&lt;!--</code> and <code>--&gt;</code> delimiters. The <a href="#mxmlGetComment">mxmlGetComment</a> function retrieves the comment string pointer for a node. For example, the following code gets the comment string value:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *commentvalue = mxmlGetComment(node);
</code></pre>
<p>Processing instruction (<code>MXML_TYPE_DIRECTIVE</code>) nodes have an associated string value consisting of the text between the <code>&lt;?</code> and <code>?&gt;</code> delimiters. The <a href="#mxmlGetDirective">mxmlGetDirective</a> function retrieves the processing instruction string for a node. For example, the following code gets the processing instruction string value:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *instrvalue = mxmlGetDirective(node);
</code></pre>
<p>Integer (<code>MXML_TYPE_INTEGER</code>) nodes have an associated <code>long</code> value. The <a href="#mxmlGetInteger">mxmlGetInteger</a> function retrieves the integer value for a node. For example, the following code gets the integer value:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">long</span> intvalue = mxmlGetInteger(node);
</code></pre>
<p>Opaque string (<code>MXML_TYPE_OPAQUE</code>) nodes have an associated string value consisting of the text between elements. The <a href="#mxmlGetOpaque">mxmlGetOpaque</a> function retrieves the opaque string pointer for a node. For example, the following code gets the opaque string value:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *opaquevalue = mxmlGetOpaque(node);
</code></pre>
<p>Real number (<code>MXML_TYPE_REAL</code>) nodes have an associated <code>double</code> value. The <a href="#mxmlGetReal">mxmlGetReal</a> function retrieves the real number for a node. For example, the following code gets the real value:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">double</span> realvalue = mxmlGetReal(node);
</code></pre>
<p>Whitespace-delimited text string (<code>MXML_TYPE_TEXT</code>) nodes have an associated whitespace indicator and string value extracted from the text between elements. The <a href="#mxmlGetText">mxmlGetText</a> function retrieves the text string pointer and whitespace boolean value for a node. For example, the following code gets the text and whitespace indicator:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *textvalue;
<span class="reserved">bool</span> whitespace;
textvalue = mxmlGetText(node, &amp;whitespace);

mxmlSaveFilename(mxml_node_t *node, mxml_options_t *options,
<span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *filename);

<p>Mini-XML also provides functions to save to a <code>FILE</code> pointer, a file descriptor, a string, or using a callback:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">char</span> *
mxmlSaveAllocString(mxml_node_t *node, mxml_options_t *options);

size_t
mxmlSaveString(mxml_node_t *node, mxml_options_t *options,
<span class="reserved">char</span> *buffer, size_t bufsize);
</code></pre>
<p>Each accepts a pointer to the top-most (&quot;root&quot;) node, any save options, and (as needed) the destination. For example, the following code saves an XML file to the file &quot;example.xml&quot; with the default options:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxmlSaveFile(xml, <span class="comment">/*options*/</span>NULL, <span class="string">&quot;example.xml&quot;</span>);
</code></pre>
<h4 id="save-options">Save Options</h4>
<p>Save options are specified using a <code>mxml_options_t</code> pointer, which you create using the <a href="#mxmlOptionsNew">mxmlOptionsNew</a> function:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxml_options_t *options = mxmlOptionsNew();
</code></pre>
<p>The default save options will wrap output lines at column 72 but not add any additional whitespace otherwise. You can change the wrap column using the <a href="#mxmlOptionsSetWrapMargin">mxmlOptionsSetWrapMargin</a> function. For example, the following will set the wrap column to 0 which disables wrapping:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxmlOptionsSetWrapMargin(options, <span class="number">0</span>);
</code></pre>
<p>To add additional whitespace to the output, set a whitespace callback using the <a href="#mxmlOptionsSetWhitespaceCallback">mxmlOptionsSetWhitespaceCallback</a> function. A whitespace callback accepts a callback data pointer, the current node, and a whitespace position value of <code>MXML_WS_BEFORE_OPEN</code>, <code>MXML_WS_AFTER_OPEN</code>, <code>MXML_WS_BEFORE_CLOSE</code>, or <code>MXML_WS_AFTER_CLOSE</code>. The callback should return <code>NULL</code> if no whitespace is to be inserted or a string of spaces, tabs, carriage returns, and newlines to insert otherwise.</p>

<h2 class="title" id="iterating-and-indexing-the-tree">Iterating and Indexing the Tree</h2>
<h3 class="title" id="iterating-nodes">Iterating Nodes</h3>
<p>While the <a href="#mxmlFindNode">mxmlFindNode</a> and <a href="#mxmlFindPath">mxmlFindPath</a> functions will find a particular element node, sometimes you need to iterate over all nodes. The <a href="#mxmlWalkNext">mxmlWalkNext</a> and <a href="#mxmlWalkPrev">mxmlWalkPrev</a> functions can be used to iterate through the XML node tree:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxml_node_t *
mxmlWalkNext(mxml_node_t *node, mxml_node_t *top,
<span class="reserved">int</span> descend);
mxml_node_t *
mxmlWalkPrev(mxml_node_t *node, mxml_node_t *top,
<span class="reserved">int</span> descend);
</code></pre>
<p>Depending on the value of the <code>descend</code> argument, these functions will automatically traverse child, sibling, and parent nodes until the <code>top</code> node is reached. For example, the following code will iterate over all of the nodes in the sample XML document in the <a href="#using-mini-xml">Using Mini-XML</a> chapter:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxml_node_t *node;
<span class="reserved">for</span> (node = xml;
node != NULL;
node = mxmlWalkNext(node, xml, MXML_DESCEND_ALL))
{
... <span class="reserved">do</span> something ...
}
</code></pre>
<p>The nodes will be returned in the following order:</p>
<pre><code>&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;?&gt;
&lt;data&gt;
&lt;node&gt;
val1
&lt;node&gt;
val2
&lt;node&gt;
val3
&lt;group&gt;
&lt;node&gt;
val4
&lt;node&gt;
val5
&lt;node&gt;
val6
&lt;node&gt;
val7
&lt;node&gt;
val8
</code></pre>
<h3 class="title" id="indexing">Indexing</h3>
<p>The <a href="#mxmlIndexNew">mxmlIndexNew</a> function allows you to create an index of nodes for faster searching and enumeration:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxml_index_t *
mxmlIndexNew(mxml_node_t *node, <span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *element,
<span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *attr);
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>element</code> and <code>attr</code> arguments control which elements are included in the index. If <code>element</code> is not <code>NULL</code> then only elements with the specified name are added to the index. Similarly, if <code>attr</code> is not <code>NULL</code> then only elements containing the specified attribute are added to the index. The nodes are sorted in the index.</p>
<p>For example, the following code creates an index of all &quot;id&quot; values in an XML document:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxml_index_t *ind = mxmlIndexNew(xml, NULL, <span class="string">&quot;id&quot;</span>);
</code></pre>
<p>Once the index is created, the <a href="#mxmlIndexFind">mxmlIndexFind</a> function can be used to find a matching node:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxml_node_t *
mxmlIndexFind(mxml_index_t *ind, <span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *element,
<span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">char</span> *value);
</code></pre>
<p>For example, the following code will find the element whose &quot;id&quot; string is &quot;42&quot;:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxml_node_t *node = mxmlIndexFind(ind, NULL, <span class="string">&quot;42&quot;</span>);
</code></pre>
<p>Alternately, the <a href="#mxmlIndexReset">mxmlIndexReset</a> and <a href="#mxmlIndexEnum">mxmlIndexEnum</a> functions can be used to enumerate the nodes in the index:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxml_node_t *
mxmlIndexReset(mxml_index_t *ind);
mxml_node_t *
mxmlIndexEnum(mxml_index_t *ind);
</code></pre>
<p>Typically these functions will be used in a <code>for</code> loop:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">mxml_node_t *node;
<span class="reserved">for</span> (node = mxmlIndexReset(ind);
node != NULL;
node = mxmlIndexEnum(ind))
{
... <span class="reserved">do</span> something ...
}
</code></pre>
<p>The <a href="#mxmlIndexCount">mxmlIndexCount</a> function returns the number of nodes in the index:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">size_t
mxmlIndexGetCount(mxml_index_t *ind);
</code></pre>
<p>Finally, the <a href="#mxmlIndexDelete">mxmlIndexDelete</a> function frees all memory associated with the index:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">void</span>
mxmlIndexDelete(mxml_index_t *ind);
</code></pre>
<h2 class="title" id="advanced-usage">Advanced Usage</h2>
<h3 class="title" id="custom-data-types">Custom Data Types</h3>
<p>Mini-XML supports custom data types via load and save callback options. Only a single set of callbacks can be active at any time for a <code>mxml_options_t</code> pointer, however your callbacks can store additional information in order to support multiple custom data types as needed. The <code>MXML_TYPE_CUSTOM</code> node type identifies custom data nodes.</p>
<p>The <a href="#mxmlGetCustom">mxmlGetCustom</a> function retrieves the custom value pointer for a node.</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">const</span> <span class="reserved">void</span> *
mxmlGetCustom(mxml_node_t *node);
</code></pre>
<p>Custom (<code>MXML_TYPE_CUSTOM</code>) nodes are created using the <a href="#mxmlNewCustom">mxmlNewCustom</a> function or using the custom load callback specified using the <a href="#mxmlOptionsSetCustomCallbacks">mxmlOptionsSetCustomCallbacks</a> function:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">typedef</span> <span class="reserved">void</span> (*mxml_custfree_cb_t)(<span class="reserved">void</span> *cbdata, <span class="reserved">void</span> *data);

mxml_custload_cb_t load_cb,
mxml_custsave_cb_t save_cb,

</code></pre>
<p>The load callback receives the callback data pointer, a pointer to the current data node, and a string of opaque character data from the XML source with character entities converted to the corresponding UTF-8 characters. For example, if we wanted to support a custom date/time type whose value is encoded as &quot;yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ&quot; (ISO 8601 format), the load callback would look like the following:</p>

<p>The function itself can return <code>true</code> on success or <code>false</code> if it is unable to decode the custom data or the data contains an error. Custom data nodes contain a <code>void</code> pointer to the allocated custom data for the node and a pointer to a destructor function which will free the custom data when the node is deleted. In this example, we use the standard <code>free</code> function since everything is contained in a single calloc'd block.</p>
<p>The save callback receives the node pointer and returns an allocated string containing the custom data value. The following save callback could be used for our ISO date/time type:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">char</span> *
custom_save_cb(<span class="reserved">void</span> *cbdata, mxml_node_t *node)

<p>You register these callback functions using the <a href="#mxmlOptionsSetCustomCallbacks">mxmlOptionsSetCustomCallbacks</a> function:</p>

<h3 class="title" id="sax-stream-loading-of-documents">SAX (Stream) Loading of Documents</h3>
<p>Mini-XML supports an implementation of the Simple API for XML (SAX) which allows you to load and process an XML document as a stream of nodes. Aside from allowing you to process XML documents of any size, the Mini-XML implementation also allows you to retain portions of the document in memory for later processing.</p>
<p>The mxmlLoadXxx functions support a SAX option that is enabled by setting a callback function and data pointer with the <a href="#mxmlOptionsSetSAXCallback">mxmlOptionsSetSAXCallback</a> function. The callback function receives the data pointer you supplied, the node, and an event code and returns <code>true</code> to continue processing or <code>false</code> to stop:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">bool</span>
sax_cb(<span class="reserved">void</span> *cbdata, mxml_node_t *node,
mxml_sax_event_t event)
{
... <span class="reserved">do</span> something ...
<span class="comment">// Continue processing...</span>
<span class="reserved">return</span> (<span class="reserved">true</span>);
}
</code></pre>
<p>The event will be one of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>MXML_SAX_EVENT_CDATA</code>: CDATA was just read.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>MXML_SAX_EVENT_COMMENT</code>: A comment was just read.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>MXML_SAX_EVENT_DATA</code>: Data (integer, opaque, real, or text) was just read.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>MXML_SAX_EVENT_DECLARATION</code>: A declaration was just read.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>MXML_SAX_EVENT_DIRECTIVE</code>: A processing directive/instruction was just read.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>MXML_SAX_EVENT_ELEMENT_CLOSE</code> - A close element was just read (<code>&lt;/element&gt;</code>)</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>MXML_SAX_EVENT_ELEMENT_OPEN</code> - An open element was just read (<code>&lt;element&gt;</code>)</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Elements are <em>released</em> after the close element is processed. All other nodes are released after they are processed. The SAX callback can <em>retain</em> the node using the <a href="#mxmlRetain">mxmlRetain</a> function. For example, the following SAX callback will retain all nodes, effectively simulating a normal in-memory load:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">bool</span>
sax_cb(<span class="reserved">void</span> *cbdata, mxml_node_t *node, mxml_sax_event_t event)

<span class="reserved">if</span> (event != MXML_SAX_ELEMENT_CLOSE)
mxmlRetain(node);
<span class="reserved">return</span> (<span class="reserved">true</span>);
}
</code></pre>
<p>More typically the SAX callback will only retain a small portion of the document that is needed for post-processing. For example, the following SAX callback will retain the title and headings in an XHTML file. It also retains the (parent) elements like <code>&lt;html&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;head&gt;</code>, and <code>&lt;body&gt;</code>, and processing directives like <code>&lt;?xml ... ?&gt;</code> and declarations like <code>&lt;!DOCTYPE ... &gt;</code>:</p>

<h3 class="title" id="user-data">User Data</h3>
<p>Each node has an associated user data pointer that can be used to store useful information for your application. The memory used by the data pointer is <em>not</em> managed by Mini-XML so it is up to you to free it as necessary.</p>
<p>The <a href="#mxmlSetUserData">mxmlSetUserData</a> function sets any user (application) data associated with the node while the <a href="#mxmlGetUserData">mxmlGetUserData</a> function gets any user (application) data associated with the node:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">void</span> *
mxmlGetUserData(mxml_node_t *node);
<span class="reserved">void</span>
mxmlSetUserData(mxml_node_t *node, <span class="reserved">void</span> *user_data);
</code></pre>
<h3 class="title" id="memory-management">Memory Management</h3>
<p>Nodes support reference counting to manage memory usage. The <a href="#mxmlRetain">mxmlRetain</a> and <a href="#mxmlRelease">mxmlRelease</a> functions increment and decrement a node's reference count, respectively. When the reference count goes to zero, <a href="#mxmlRelease">mxmlRelease</a> calls <a href="#mxmlDelete">mxmlDelete</a> to actually free the memory used by the node tree. New nodes start with a reference count of <code>1</code>. You can get a node's current reference count using the <a href="#mxmlGetRefCount">mxmlGetRefCount</a> function.</p>
<p>Strings can also support different kinds of memory management. The default is to use the standard C library strdup and free functions. To use alternate an alternate mechanism, call the <a href="#mxmlSetStringCallbacks">mxmlSetStringCallbacks</a> function to set string copy and free callbacks. The copy callback receives the callback data pointer and the string to copy, and returns a new string that will persist for the life of the XML data. The free callback receives the callback data pointer and the copied string and potentially frees the memory used for it. For example, the following code implements a simple string pool that eliminates duplicate strings:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c"><span class="reserved">typedef</span> <span class="reserved">struct</span> string_pool_s

</li>
<li><p>SAX events are now named <code>MXML_SAX_EVENT_foo</code> instead of <code>MXML_SAX_foo</code>.</p>
</li>
<li><p>SAX callbacks now return a boolean value.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Node types are now named <code>MXML_TYPE_foo</code> instead of <code>MXML_foo</code>.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Descend values are now normalized to <code>MXML_DESCEND_ALL</code>, <code>MXML_DESCEND_FIRST</code>, and <code>MXML_DESCEND_NONE</code>.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Functions that returned <code>0</code> on success and <code>-1</code> on error now return <code>true</code> on success and <code>false</code> on error.</p>
