-

This class holds XML data/document as parsed by XML parser in the root node.

wxXmlDocument internally uses the expat library which comes with wxWidgets to
parse the given stream.
-

A simple example of using XML classes is:
-
+
@code
wxXmlDocument doc;
if (!doc.Load(wxT("myfile.xml")))
return @false;
-
+
// start processing the XML file
if (doc.GetRoot()-GetName() != wxT("myroot-node"))

-
+
// process text enclosed by tag1/tag1
wxString content = child-GetNodeContent();
-
+
...
-
+
// process attributes of tag1
- wxString attrvalue1 =
- child-GetAttribute(wxT("attr1"),
+ wxString attrvalue1 =
+ child-GetAttribute(wxT("attr1"),
wxT("default-value"));
- wxString attrvalue2 =
- child-GetAttribute(wxT("attr2"),
+ wxString attrvalue2 =
+ child-GetAttribute(wxT("attr2"),
wxT("default-value"));
-
+
...
-
+
} else if (child-GetName() == wxT("tag2")) {
-
+
// process tag2 ...
}

+
child = child-GetNext();
}

+
+ @note if you want to preserve the original formatting of the loaded file
including whitespaces
and indentation, you need to turn off whitespace-only textnode removal and
automatic indentation:
-
+
@code
wxXmlDocument doc;
doc.Load(wxT("myfile.xml"), wxT("UTF-8"), wxXMLDOC_KEEP_WHITESPACE_NODES);
-

// myfile2.xml will be indentic to myfile.xml saving it this way:

@endcode
-
+
Using default parameters, you will get a reformatted document which in general
is different from
the original loaded content:
-
+
@code
wxXmlDocument doc;
doc.Load(wxT("myfile.xml"));
doc.Save(wxT("myfile2.xml")); // myfile2.xml != myfile.xml
