TinyXML class. See http://www.grinninglizard.com/tinyxml.
A TiXmlHandle_t is a class that wraps a node pointer with null checks; this is an incredibly useful thing. Note that TiXmlHandle_t is not part of the TinyXml DOM structure. It is a separate utility class.
Take an example:
<Document> <Element attributeA = "valueA"> <Child attributeB = "value1" /> <Child attributeB = "value2" /> </Element> <Document>
Assuming you want the value of "attributeB" in the 2nd "Child" element, it's very easy to write a lot of code that looks like:
TiXmlElement* root = document.FirstChildElement( "Document" );
if ( root )
{
TiXmlElement* element = root->FirstChildElement( "Element" );
if ( element )
{
TiXmlElement* child = element->FirstChildElement( "Child" );
if ( child )
{
TiXmlElement* child2 = child->NextSiblingElement( "Child" );
if ( child2 )
{
// Finally do something useful.
And that doesn't even cover "else" cases. TiXmlHandle_t addresses the verbosity of such code. A TiXmlHandle_t checks for null pointers so it is perfectly safe and correct to use:
TiXmlHandle_t docHandle_t( &document );
TiXmlElement* child2 = docHandle_t.FirstChild( "Document" ).FirstChild( "Element" ).Child( "Child", 1 ).ToElement();
if ( child2 )
{
// do something useful
Which is MUCH more concise and useful.
It is also safe to copy handles - internally they are nothing more than node pointers.
TiXmlHandle_t handleCopy = handle;
What they should not be used for is iteration:
int i=0;
while ( true )
{
TiXmlElement* child = docHandle_t.FirstChild( "Document" ).FirstChild( "Element" ).Child( "Child", i ).ToElement();
if ( !child )
break;
// do something
++i;
}
It seems reasonable, but it is in fact two embedded while loops. The Child method is a linear walk to find the element, so this code would iterate much more than it needs to. Instead, prefer:
TiXmlElement* child = docHandle_t.FirstChild( "Document" ).FirstChild( "Element" ).FirstChild( "Child" ).ToElement();
for( child; child; child=child->NextSiblingElement() )
{
// do something
}
