Detailed Description

Parses a text-based XML document and creates an XmlElement object from it.

The parser will parse DTDs to load external entities but won't check the document for validity against the DTD.

e.g.

XmlDocument myDocument (File ("myfile.xml"));
 
if (auto mainElement = myDocument.getDocumentElement())
{
    ..use the element
}
else
{
    String error = myDocument.getLastParseError();
}

Or you can use the helper functions for much less verbose parsing..

if (auto xml = parseXML (myXmlFile))
{
    if (xml->hasTagName ("foobar"))
    {
        ...etc
    }
}

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

XmlDocument() [1/2]

juce::XmlDocument::XmlDocument

(

const String &

documentText

)

Creates an XmlDocument from the xml text. The text doesn't actually get parsed until the getDocumentElement() method is called.

XmlDocument() [2/2]

juce::XmlDocument::XmlDocument

(

const File &

file

)

Creates an XmlDocument from a file. The text doesn't actually get parsed until the getDocumentElement() method is called.

~XmlDocument()

juce::XmlDocument::~XmlDocument

(

)

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

expandEntity()

String juce::XmlDocument::expandEntity ( const String & ent )

private

expandExternalEntity()

String juce::XmlDocument::expandExternalEntity ( const String & entity )

private

getDocumentElement()

std::unique_ptr< XmlElement > juce::XmlDocument::getDocumentElement

(

bool

onlyReadOuterDocumentElement = false

)

Creates an XmlElement object to represent the main document node.

This method will do the actual parsing of the text, and if there's a parse error, it may returns nullptr (and you can find out the error using the getLastParseError() method).

See also the parse() methods, which provide a shorthand way to quickly parse a file or string.

Parameters

onlyReadOuterDocumentElement

if true, the parser will only read the first section of the file, and will only return the outer document element - this allows quick checking of large files to see if they contain the correct type of tag, without having to parse the entire file

Returns

a new XmlElement, or nullptr if there was an error.

See also

getLastParseError, getDocumentElementIfTagMatches

getDocumentElementIfTagMatches()

std::unique_ptr< XmlElement > juce::XmlDocument::getDocumentElementIfTagMatches

(

StringRef

requiredTag

)

Does an inexpensive check to see whether the outer element has the given tag name, and then does a full parse if it matches. If the tag is different, or the XML parse fails, this will return nullptr.

getFileContents()

String juce::XmlDocument::getFileContents ( const String & filename ) const

private

getLastParseError()

const String & juce::XmlDocument::getLastParseError ( ) const

noexcept

Returns the parsing error that occurred the last time getDocumentElement was called.

Returns

the error, or an empty string if there was no error.

getParameterEntity()

String juce::XmlDocument::getParameterEntity ( const String & entity )

private

parse() [1/2]

std::unique_ptr< XmlElement > juce::XmlDocument::parse ( const File & file )

static

A handy static method that parses a file. This is a shortcut for creating an XmlDocument object and calling getDocumentElement() on it.

Returns

a new XmlElement, or nullptr if there was an error.

parse() [2/2]

std::unique_ptr< XmlElement > juce::XmlDocument::parse ( const String & xmlData )

static

A handy static method that parses some XML data. This is a shortcut for creating an XmlDocument object and calling getDocumentElement() on it.

Returns

a new XmlElement, or nullptr if there was an error.

parseDocumentElement()

std::unique_ptr< XmlElement > juce::XmlDocument::parseDocumentElement ( String::CharPointerType textToParse, bool outer )

private

parseDTD()

bool juce::XmlDocument::parseDTD ( )

private

parseHeader()

bool juce::XmlDocument::parseHeader ( )

private

readChildElements()

void juce::XmlDocument::readChildElements ( XmlElement & parent )

private

readEntity()

void juce::XmlDocument::readEntity ( String & result )

private

readNextChar()

juce_wchar juce::XmlDocument::readNextChar ( )

privatenoexcept

readNextElement()

XmlElement * juce::XmlDocument::readNextElement ( bool alsoParseSubElements )

private

readQuotedString()

void juce::XmlDocument::readQuotedString ( String & result )

private

setEmptyTextElementsIgnored()

void juce::XmlDocument::setEmptyTextElementsIgnored ( bool shouldBeIgnored )

noexcept

Sets a flag to change the treatment of empty text elements.

If this is true (the default state), then any text elements that contain only whitespace characters will be ignored during parsing. If you need to catch whitespace-only text, then you should set this to false before calling the getDocumentElement() method.

setInputSource()

void juce::XmlDocument::setInputSource ( InputSource * newSource )

noexcept

Sets an input source object to use for parsing documents that reference external entities.

If the document has been created from a file, this probably won't be needed, but if you're parsing some text and there might be a DTD that references external files, you may need to create a custom input source that can retrieve the other files it needs.

The object that is passed-in will be deleted automatically when no longer needed.
