Constructor & Destructor Documentation

xmlpp::TextReader::TextReader ( struct _xmlTextReader *  cobj)

Wraps a TextReader object from an underlying libxml object.

The TextReader takes ownership of cobj.

Parameters
cobjThe underlying libxml xmlTextReader object.
xmlpp::TextReader::TextReader ( const ustring URI)

Creates a new TextReader object to parse a file or URI.

Parameters
URIThe URI to read.
Exceptions
xmlpp::internal_errorIf an xmlTextReader object cannot be created.
xmlpp::TextReader::TextReader ( const unsigned char *  data,
size_type  size,
const ustring uri = ustring() 
)

Creates a new TextReader object which parses in memory data.

Parameters
dataThe data to parse.
sizeThe number of bytes in data.
uriThe base URI to use for the document.
Exceptions
xmlpp::internal_errorIf an xmlTextReader object cannot be created.
xmlpp::TextReader::~TextReader ( )
override

Member Function Documentation

void xmlpp::TextReader::close ( )
Node* xmlpp::TextReader::expand ( )

Expand the current node.

Reads the contents of the current node and the full subtree. It then makes the subtree available until the next call to read() or next().

Warning
The C++ wrappers are not deleted. Using this method causes memory leaks, unless you call xmlpp::Node::free_wrappers(), which is not intended to be called by the application.
Returns
A pointer to the current node, or nullptr in case of error.
Exceptions
xmlpp::parse_error
xmlpp::validity_error
ustring xmlpp::TextReader::get_attribute ( int  number) const
ustring xmlpp::TextReader::get_attribute ( const ustring name) const
ustring xmlpp::TextReader::get_attribute ( const ustring local_name,
const ustring ns_uri 
) const
int xmlpp::TextReader::get_attribute_count ( ) const

Gets the number of attributes on the current node.

Returns
The number of attributes on the current node, or zero if the current node does not support attributes, or -1 in case of error.
Exceptions
xmlpp::parse_error
xmlpp::validity_error
ustring xmlpp::TextReader::get_base_uri ( ) const

Gets the base Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the current node.

Returns
The base URI of the current node or an empty ustring if not available.
Node* xmlpp::TextReader::get_current_node ( )

Get a pointer to the current node.

Warning
This is dangerous because the underlying node may be destroyed on the next read. The C++ wrapper is not deleted. Using this method causes memory leaks, unless you call xmlpp::Node::free_wrappers(), which is not intended to be called by the application.
Returns
A pointer to the current node, or nullptr in case of error.
const Node* xmlpp::TextReader::get_current_node ( ) const

Get a pointer to the current node.

Warning
See the non-const get_current_node().
Returns
A pointer to the current node, or nullptr in case of error.
int xmlpp::TextReader::get_depth ( ) const

Gets the depth of the current node in the XML document.

Returns
The depth of the current node in the XML document, or -1 in case of error.
ustring xmlpp::TextReader::get_local_name ( ) const
ustring xmlpp::TextReader::get_name ( ) const
ustring xmlpp::TextReader::get_namespace_uri ( ) const
NodeType xmlpp::TextReader::get_node_type ( ) const

Get the node type of the current node.

Returns
The xmlpp::TextReader::NodeType of the current node. In case of error, either returns xmlpp::TextReader::NodeType::InternalError or throws an exception.
Exceptions
xmlpp::parse_error
xmlpp::validity_error
bool xmlpp::TextReader::get_normalization ( ) const
bool xmlpp::TextReader::get_parser_property ( ParserProperties  property) const
ustring xmlpp::TextReader::get_prefix ( ) const

Get the namespace prefix associated with the current node.

Returns
The namespace prefix, or an empty string if not available.
char xmlpp::TextReader::get_quote_char ( ) const

Get the quotation mark character used to enclose the value of an attribute.

Returns
Returns " or ' and -1 in case of error.
ReadState xmlpp::TextReader::get_read_state ( ) const
ustring xmlpp::TextReader::get_value ( ) const
ustring xmlpp::TextReader::get_xml_lang ( ) const
bool xmlpp::TextReader::has_attributes ( ) const

Gets a value indicating whether the current node has any attributes.

Returns
true if the current has attributes, false otherwise.
bool xmlpp::TextReader::has_value ( ) const

Whether the node can have a text value.

Returns
true if the current node can have an associated text value, false otherwise.
bool xmlpp::TextReader::is_default ( ) const

Whether an Attribute node was generated from the default value defined in the DTD or schema.

Returns
true if defaulted, false otherwise.
bool xmlpp::TextReader::is_empty_element ( ) const

Check if the current node is empty.

Returns
true if empty, false otherwise.
bool xmlpp::TextReader::is_valid ( ) const

bool xmlpp::TextReader::move_to_first_attribute ( )
bool xmlpp::TextReader::move_to_next_attribute ( )
bool xmlpp::TextReader::next ( )
bool xmlpp::TextReader::read ( )

Moves the position of the current instance to the next node in the stream, exposing its properties.

Returns
true if the node was read successfully, false if there are no more nodes to read.
Exceptions
xmlpp::parse_error
xmlpp::validity_error
bool xmlpp::TextReader::read_attribute_value ( )

Parses an attribute value into one or more Text and EntityReference nodes.

Returns
A bool where true indicates the attribute value was parsed, and false indicates the reader was not positioned on an attribute node or all the attribute values have been read.
Exceptions
xmlpp::parse_error
xmlpp::validity_error
ustring xmlpp::TextReader::read_inner_xml ( )

Reads the contents of the current node, including child nodes and markup.

Returns
A ustring containing the XML content, or an empty ustring if the current node is neither an element nor attribute, or has no child nodes.
Exceptions
xmlpp::parse_error
