The document in pugixml is fully mutable: you can completely change the document
|
|
structure and modify the data of nodes/attributes. This section provides documentation
|
|
for the relevant functions. All functions take care of memory management and
|
|
structural integrity themselves, so they always result in structurally valid
|
|
tree - however, it is possible to create an invalid XML tree (for example,
|
|
by adding two attributes with the same name or by setting attribute/node name
|
|
to empty/invalid string). Tree modification is optimized for performance and
|
|
for memory consumption, so if you have enough memory you can create documents
|
|
from scratch with pugixml and later save them to file/stream instead of relying
|
|
on error-prone manual text writing and without too much overhead.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All member functions that change node/attribute data or structure are non-constant
|
|
and thus can not be called on constant handles. However, you can easily convert
|
|
constant handle to non-constant one by simple assignment: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">void</span>
|
|
<span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">pugi</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">xml_node</span><span class="special">&</span> <span class="identifier">n</span><span class="special">)</span>
|
|
<span class="special">{</span> <span class="identifier">pugi</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">xml_node</span> <span class="identifier">nc</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">n</span><span class="special">;</span> <span class="special">}</span></code>, so const-correctness
|
|
here mainly provides additional documentation.

As discussed before, nodes can have name and value, both of which are strings.
|
|
Depending on node type, name or value may be absent. <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_document">node_document</a>
|
|
nodes do not have a name or value, <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_element">node_element</a>
|
|
and <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_declaration">node_declaration</a> nodes always
|
|
have a name but never have a value, <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_pcdata">node_pcdata</a>,
|
|
<a class="link" href="dom.html#node_cdata">node_cdata</a>, <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_comment">node_comment</a>
|
|
and <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_doctype">node_doctype</a> nodes never have a name
|
|
but always have a value (it may be empty though), <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_pi">node_pi</a>
|
|
nodes always have a name and a value (again, value may be empty). In order
|
|
to set node's name or value, you can use the following functions:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_node</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">set_name</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">char_t</span><span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">rhs</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
|
<span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_node</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">set_value</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">char_t</span><span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">rhs</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Both functions try to set the name/value to the specified string, and return
|
|
the operation result. The operation fails if the node can not have name or
|
|
value (for instance, when trying to call <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">set_name</span></code>
|
|
on a <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_pcdata">node_pcdata</a> node), if the node handle
|
|
is null, or if there is insufficient memory to handle the request. The provided
|
|
string is copied into document managed memory and can be destroyed after
|
|
the function returns (for example, you can safely pass stack-allocated buffers
|
|
to these functions). The name/value content is not verified, so take care
|
|
to use only valid XML names, or the document may become malformed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no equivalent of <a class="link" href="access.html#xml_node::child_value">child_value</a>
|
|
function for modifying text children of the node.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is an example of setting node name and value (<a href="../samples/modify_base.cpp" target="_top">samples/modify_base.cpp</a>):

All attributes have name and value, both of which are strings (value may
|
|
be empty). You can set them with the following functions:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_attribute</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">set_name</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">char_t</span><span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">rhs</span><span class="special">);</span>

<span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_attribute</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">set_value</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">char_t</span><span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">rhs</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Both functions try to set the name/value to the specified string, and return
|
|
the operation result. The operation fails if the attribute handle is null,
|
|
or if there is insufficient memory to handle the request. The provided string
|
|
is copied into document managed memory and can be destroyed after the function
|
|
returns (for example, you can safely pass stack-allocated buffers to these
|
|
functions). The name/value content is not verified, so take care to use only
|
|
valid XML names, or the document may become malformed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In addition to string functions, several functions are provided for handling
|
|
attributes with numbers and booleans as values:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_attribute</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">set_value</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">rhs</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
|
<span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_attribute</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">set_value</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">unsigned</span> <span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">rhs</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
|
<span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_attribute</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">set_value</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">rhs</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
|
<span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_attribute</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">set_value</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">rhs</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The above functions convert the argument to string and then call the base
|
|
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">set_value</span></code> function. Integers
|
|
are converted to a decimal form, floating-point numbers are converted to
|
|
either decimal or scientific form, depending on the number magnitude, boolean
|
|
values are converted to either <code class="computeroutput"><span class="string">"true"</span></code>
|
|
or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="string">"false"</span></code>.
|
|

Number conversion functions depend on current C locale as set with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">setlocale</span></code>, so may generate unexpected
|
|
results if the locale is different from <code class="computeroutput"><span class="string">"C"</span></code>.

<p>
|

These operators simply call the right <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">set_value</span></code>
|
|
function and return the attribute they're called on; the return value of
|
|
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">set_value</span></code> is ignored, so

errors are ignored.

Nodes and attributes do not exist without a document tree, so you can't create
|
|
them without adding them to some document. A node or attribute can be created

at the end of node/attribute list or before/after some other node:

Attribute functions create an attribute with the specified name; you can
|
|
specify the empty name and change the name later if you want to. Node functions
|
|
with the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">type</span></code> argument create
|
|
the node with the specified type; since node type can't be changed, you have
|
|
to know the desired type beforehand. Also note that not all types can be
|
|
added as children; see below for clarification. Node functions with the
|
|
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">name</span></code> argument create the
|
|
element node (<a class="link" href="dom.html#node_element">node_element</a>) with the
|
|
specified name.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All functions return the handle to the created object on success, and null
|
|
handle on failure. There are several reasons for failure:

If you do not want your document to contain some node or attribute, you can
|
|
remove it with one of the following functions:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_node</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">remove_attribute</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">xml_attribute</span><span class="special">&</span> <span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
|
<span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_node</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">remove_child</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">xml_node</span><span class="special">&</span> <span class="identifier">n</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">remove_attribute</span></code> removes
|
|
the attribute from the attribute list of the node, and returns the operation
|
|
result. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">remove_child</span></code> removes
|
|
the child node with the entire subtree (including all descendant nodes and
|
|
attributes) from the document, and returns the operation result. Removing
|
|
fails if one of the following is true:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
|
|
<li class="listitem">
|
|
The node the function is called on is null;
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li class="listitem">
|
|
The attribute/node to be removed is null;
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li class="listitem">
|
|
The attribute/node to be removed is not in the node's attribute/child
|
|
list.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul></div>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Removing the attribute or node invalidates all handles to the same underlying
|
|
object, and also invalidates all iterators pointing to the same object. Removing
|
|
node also invalidates all past-the-end iterators to its attribute or child
|
|
node list. Be careful to ensure that all such handles and iterators either
|
|
do not exist or are not used after the attribute/node is removed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you want to remove the attribute or child node by its name, two additional
|
|
helper functions are available:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_node</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">remove_attribute</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">char_t</span><span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">name</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
|
<span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_node</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">remove_child</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">char_t</span><span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">name</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
These functions look for the first attribute or child with the specified
|
|
name, and then remove it, returning the result. If there is no attribute
|
|
or child with such name, the function returns <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">false</span></code>;
|
|
if there are two nodes with the given name, only the first node is deleted.
|
|
If you want to delete all nodes with the specified name, you can use code
|
|
like this: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">while</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">node</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">remove_child</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"tool"</span><span class="special">))</span> <span class="special">;</span></code>.

pugixml provides a special class, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xml_text</span></code>,
|
|
to work with text contents stored as a value of some node, i.e. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">node</span><span class="special">><</span><span class="identifier">description</span><span class="special">></span><span class="identifier">This</span> <span class="identifier">is</span> <span class="identifier">a</span> <span class="identifier">node</span><span class="special"></</span><span class="identifier">description</span><span class="special">></</span><span class="identifier">node</span><span class="special">></span></code>.
|
|
Working with text objects to retrieve data is described in <a class="link" href="access.html#manual.access.text" title="Working with text contents">the
|
|
documentation for accessing document data</a>; this section describes
|
|
the modification interface of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xml_text</span></code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<a name="xml_text::set"></a><p>
|
|
Once you have an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xml_text</span></code>
|
|
object, you can set the text contents using the following function:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_text</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">set</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">char_t</span><span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">rhs</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This function tries to set the contents to the specified string, and returns
|
|
the operation result. The operation fails if the text object was retrieved
|
|
from a node that can not have a value and is not an element node (i.e. it
|
|
is a <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_declaration">node_declaration</a> node), if the
|
|
text object is empty, or if there is insufficient memory to handle the request.
|
|
The provided string is copied into document managed memory and can be destroyed
|
|
after the function returns (for example, you can safely pass stack-allocated
|
|
buffers to this function). Note that if the text object was retrieved from
|
|
an element node, this function creates the PCDATA child node if necessary
|
|
(i.e. if the element node does not have a PCDATA/CDATA child already).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<a name="xml_text::set_value"></a><p>
|
|
In addition to a string function, several functions are provided for handling
|
|
text with numbers and booleans as contents:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_text</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">set</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">rhs</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
|
<span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_text</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">set</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">unsigned</span> <span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">rhs</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
|
<span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_text</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">set</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">rhs</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
|
<span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_text</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">set</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">rhs</span><span class="special">);</span>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The above functions convert the argument to string and then call the base
|
|
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">set</span></code> function. These functions
|
|
have the same semantics as similar <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xml_attribute</span></code>
|
|
functions. You can <a class="link" href="modify.html#xml_attribute::set_value">refer to documentation
|
|
for the attribute functions</a> for details.

</p>
|
|
<a name="xml_text::assign"></a><p>
|

For convenience, all <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">set</span></code>
|

functions have the corresponding assignment operators:

With the help of previously described functions, it is possible to create
|
|
trees with any contents and structure, including cloning the existing data.
|
|
However since this is an often needed operation, pugixml provides built-in
|
|
node/attribute cloning facilities. Since nodes and attributes do not exist
|
|
without a document tree, you can't create a standalone copy - you have to
|
|
immediately insert it somewhere in the tree. For this, you can use one of
|
|
the following functions:
|
|

These functions mirror the structure of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">append_child</span></code>,
|
|
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">prepend_child</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">insert_child_before</span></code> and related functions
|
|
- they take the handle to the prototype object, which is to be cloned, insert
|
|
a new attribute/node at the appropriate place, and then copy the attribute
|
|
data or the whole node subtree to the new object. The functions return the
|
|
handle to the resulting duplicate object, or null handle on failure.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The attribute is copied along with the name and value; the node is copied
|
|
along with its type, name and value; additionally attribute list and all
|
|
children are recursively cloned, resulting in the deep subtree clone. The
|
|
prototype object can be a part of the same document, or a part of any other
|
|
document.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The failure conditions resemble those of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">append_child</span></code>,
|
|
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">insert_child_before</span></code> and related
|
|
functions, <a class="link" href="modify.html#xml_node::append_child">consult their documentation
|
|
for more information</a>. There are additional caveats specific to cloning
|
|
functions:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
|
|
<li class="listitem">
|
|
Cloning null handles results in operation failure;
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li class="listitem">
|
|
Node cloning starts with insertion of the node of the same type as that
|
|
of the prototype; for this reason, cloning functions can not be directly
|
|
used to clone entire documents, since <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_document">node_document</a>
|
|
is not a valid insertion type. The example below provides a workaround.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li class="listitem">
|
|
It is possible to copy a subtree as a child of some node inside this
|
|
subtree, i.e. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">node</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">append_copy</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">node</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">parent</span><span class="special">().</span><span class="identifier">parent</span><span class="special">());</span></code>.
|
|
This is a valid operation, and it results in a clone of the subtree in
|
|
the state before cloning started, i.e. no infinite recursion takes place.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul></div>
