<H2><A NAME="3_3">Loading and Saving XML Files</A></H2>
|
|
<P>You load an XML file using the <A href="mxmlLoadFile.html#mxmlLoadFile">
|
|
<TT>mxmlLoadFile()</TT></A> function:</P>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
FILE *fp;
|
|
<A href="mxmlnodet.html#mxml_node_t">mxml_node_t</A> *tree;
|
|
|
|
fp = fopen("filename.xml", "r");
|
|
tree = <A href="mxmlLoadFile.html#mxmlLoadFile">mxmlLoadFile</A>(NULL, fp, MXML_NO_CALLBACK);
|
|
fclose(fp);
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P>The third argument specifies a callback function which returns the
|
|
value type of the immediate children for a new element node: <TT>
|
|
MXML_INTEGER</TT>, <TT>MXML_OPAQUE</TT>, <TT>MXML_REAL</TT>, or <TT>
|
|
MXML_TEXT</TT>. This function is called<I> after</I> the element and its
|
|
attributes have been read, so you can look at the element name,
|
|
attributes, and attribute values to determine the proper value type to
|
|
return. The default value type is MXML_TEXT if no callback is used.</P>
|
|
<P>Similarly, you save an XML file using the <A href="mxmlSaveFile.html#mxmlSaveFile">
|
|
<TT>mxmlSaveFile()</TT></A> function:</P>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
FILE *fp;
|
|
<A href="mxmlnodet.html#mxml_node_t">mxml_node_t</A> *tree;
|
|
|
|
fp = fopen("filename.xml", "w");
|
|
<A href="mxmlSaveFile.html#mxmlSaveFile">mxmlSaveFile</A>(tree, fp, MXML_NO_CALLBACK);
|
|
fclose(fp);
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P>Callback functions for saving are used to optionally insert
|
|
whitespace before and after elements in the node tree. Your function
|
|
will be called up to four times for each element node with a pointer to
|
|
the node and a "where" value of <TT>MXML_WS_BEFORE_OPEN</TT>, <TT>
|
|
MXML_WS_AFTER_OPEN</TT>, <TT>MXML_WS_BEFORE_CLOSE</TT>, or <TT>
|
|
MXML_WS_AFTER_CLOSE</TT>. The callback function should return <TT>NULL</TT>
|
|
if no whitespace should be added and the string to insert (spaces,
|
|
tabs, carriage returns, and newlines) otherwise.</P>
|
|
<P>The <A href="mxmlLoadString.html#mxmlLoadString"><TT>mxmlLoadString()</TT>
|
|
</A>, <A href="mxmlSaveAllocString.html#mxmlSaveAllocString"><TT>
|
|
mxmlSaveAllocString()</TT></A>, and <A href="mxmlSaveString.html#mxmlSaveString">
|
|
<TT>mxmlSaveString()</TT></A> functions load XML node trees from and
|
|
save XML node trees to strings:</P>

char *ptr;

<A href="mxmlnodet.html#mxml_node_t">mxml_node_t</A> *tree;
