mxmlAdd¶

Add a node to a tree.

void mxmlAdd (


    mxml_node_t *parent,


    int where,


    mxml_node_t *child,


    mxml_node_t *node
);

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.

mxmlDelete¶

Delete a node and all of its children.

void mxmlDelete (


    mxml_node_t *node
);

If the specified node has a parent, this function first removes the node from its parent using the mxmlRemove() function.

mxmlElementDeleteAttr¶

Delete an attribute.

void mxmlElementDeleteAttr (


    mxml_node_t *node,


    const char *name
);

mxmlElementGetAttr¶

Get an attribute.

const char * mxmlElementGetAttr (


    mxml_node_t *node,


    const char *name
);

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

mxmlElementSetAttr¶

Set an attribute.

void mxmlElementSetAttr (


    mxml_node_t *node,


    const char *name,


    const char *value
);

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.

mxmlElementSetAttrf¶

Set an attribute with a formatted value.

void mxmlElementSetAttrf (


    mxml_node_t *node,


    const char *name,


    const char *format,


    ...
);

If the named attribute already exists, the value of the attribute is replaced by the new formatted string. The formatted string value is copied into the element node. This function does nothing if the node is not an element.

mxmlEntityAddCallback¶

Add a callback to convert entities to Unicode.

int  mxmlEntityAddCallback (


    mxml_entity_cb_t cb
);

);

If val does not need to be represented by a named entity, NULL is returned.

int  mxmlEntityGetValue (


    const char *name
);

The entity name can also be a numeric constant. -1 is returned if the name is not known.

    mxml_node_t *top,


    const char *name,


    const char *attr,


    const char *value,


    int descend
);

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.

mxmlFindPath¶

Find a node with the given path.

mxml_node_t * mxmlFindPath (


    mxml_node_t *top,


    const char *path
);

The "path" is a slash-separated list of element names. The name "*" is considered a wildcard for one or more levels of elements. For example, "foo/one/two", "bar/two/one", "*/one", and so forth.

The first child node of the found node is returned if the given node has children and the first child is a value node.

mxmlGetInteger¶

Get the integer value from the specified node or its first child.

int  mxmlGetInteger (


    mxml_node_t *node
);

0 is returned if the node (or its first child) is not an integer value node.

mxmlGetLastChild¶

Get the last child of an element node.

mxml_node_t * mxmlGetLastChild (


    mxml_node_t *node
);

    mxml_node_t *node
);

mxmlGetOpaque¶

Get an opaque string value for a node or its first child.

const char * mxmlGetOpaque (


    mxml_node_t *node
);

NULL is returned if the node (or its first child) is not an opaque value node.

double  mxmlGetReal (


    mxml_node_t *node
);

0.0 is returned if the node (or its first child) is not a real value node.

mxmlGetRefCount¶

Get the current reference (use) count for a node.

int  mxmlGetRefCount (


    mxml_node_t *node
);

The initial reference count of new nodes is 1. Use the mxmlRetain and mxmlRelease functions to increment and decrement a node's reference count.

mxmlGetText¶

Get the text value for a node or its first child.

const char * mxmlGetText (


    mxml_node_t *node,


    int *whitespace
);

mxmlIndexFind¶

Find the next matching node.

mxml_node_t * mxmlIndexFind (


    mxml_index_t *ind,


    const char *element,


    const char *value
);

You should call mxmlIndexReset() prior to using this function for the first time with a particular set of "element" and "value" strings. Passing NULL for both "element" and "value" is equivalent to calling mxmlIndexEnum().

mxmlIndexGetCount¶

Get the number of nodes in an index.

int  mxmlIndexGetCount (


    mxml_index_t *ind
);

mxmlIndexNew¶

Create a new index.

mxml_index_t * mxmlIndexNew (


    mxml_node_t *node,


    const char *element,


    const char *attr
);

The index will contain all nodes that contain the named element and/or attribute. If both "element" and "attr" are NULL, 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 "attr" argument is not NULL.

mxmlIndexReset¶

Reset the enumeration/find pointer in the index and return the first node in the index.

mxml_node_t * mxmlIndexReset (


    mxml_index_t *ind
);

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.

The SAX callback must call mxmlRetain() for any nodes that need to be kept for later use. Otherwise, nodes are deleted when the parent node is closed or after each data, comment, CDATA, or directive node.

mxmlSAXLoadFile¶

Load a file into an XML node tree using a SAX callback.

mxml_node_t * mxmlSAXLoadFile (


    mxml_node_t *top,

char * mxmlSaveAllocString (


    mxml_node_t *node,


    mxml_save_cb_t cb
);

This function returns a pointer to a string containing the textual representation of the XML node tree. The string should be freed using the free() function when you are done with it. NULL is returned if the node would produce an empty string or if the string cannot be allocated.
