XmlParser

An xml parser in C.

Build

Simple clone the repo and use the command make. A statically linkable library will be created.

Usage

Use xml_parse(path) to parse the whole xml.

Use xml_getnode(xml, node_name) to get the first node with the name you inputed.

Data usage

Here is the full list of helper function that will allow you to simply use the data:

bool xml_hasproperty(node *n, const char *key); Check if a property is present or not (do not check the value)

char *xml_getproperty(node *n, const char *key); Return a malloced string property and parse special characters. Ex: \n will be transformed to a new line char.

char *xml_gettempprop(node *n, const char *key); Return a pointer to the node's raw property. Special characters are not evaluated. Warning: you should not free it.

char *xml_gettmpstring(node *n, const char *key, char *def); Same as above but if the string is not found, def is returned instead of NULL

int xml_getintprop(node *n, const char *key); Return the property as a int. If the value is not found, 0 is returned.

int xml_getbinaprop(node *n, const char *key); Interpret the property as a binnary int value. If the value is not found, 0 is returned.

int xml_gethexaprop(node *n, const char *key); Interpret the property as an hexadecimal int value. If the value is not found, 0 is returned.

float xml_getfloatprop(node *n, const char *key); Return the property as a float. If the value is not found, 0 is returned.

int xml_getchildcount(node *n); Return the total number of childs a node has.

int xml_getchildcount_filtered(node *n, char *name); Return the number of child with the name name a node has.

bool xml_getbool(node *n, const char *key, bool default_value); Interpret the property as a boolean. If the value is not found, default_value is returned.

Free

And do not forget to free the parsed xml when you do not need it anymore with the function: void xml_destroy(node *n);

Unsuported

Attributes with semi quotes (') instead of quotes (")
