XML Node

  • Article

An XML Node represents a single piece of XML, for example, a start element and its attributes, an end element, text, or "typed" text content such as an integer or byte array. The data in a node varies according to the WS_XML_NODE_TYPE.

The following shows an example of an encoding specific xml document represented with encoding independent structures.

<p:PurchaseOrder xmlns:p="http://tempuri.org" p:id="3891">
    <p:Buyer>Joe</p:Buyer>
</p:PurchaseOrder>

WS_XML_STRING purchaseOrder = WS_XML_STRING_VALUE("PurchaseOrder");
WS_XML_STRING id            = WS_XML_STRING_VALUE("id");
WS_XML_STRING prefix        = WS_XML_STRING_VALUE("p");
WS_XML_STRING ns            = WS_XML_STRING_VALUE("http://tempuri.org");

WS_XML_ATTRIBUTE xmlnsAttribute =
{
    /* singleQuote */ FALSE,
    /* isXmlNs     */ TRUE,
    /* prefix      */ &prefix,
    /* localName   */ NULL,
    /* ns          */ &ns,
    /* value       */ NULL
};
WS_XML_INT32_TEXT idText =
{
    /* text  */ { WS_XML_TEXT_TYPE_INT32 },
    /* value */ 3891
};
WS_XML_ATTRIBUTE idAttribute =
{
    /* singleQuote */ FALSE,
    /* isXmlNs     */ FALSE,

    /* ns          */ &ns,
    /* value       */ &idText.text,

    /* ns             */ &ns,
    /* attributeCount */ 2,
    /* attributes     */ attributes,
    /* isEmpty        */ FALSE,
    /* array          */ NULL,
};
WS_XML_UTF8_TEXT joeText =
{
    /* text  */ { WS_XML_TEXT_TYPE_UTF8 },
    /* value */ WS_XML_STRING_VALUE("Joe")
};
WS_XML_TEXT_NODE textNode =
{
    /* node */ { WS_XML_NODE_TYPE_TEXT },
    /* text */ &joeText.text
};
WS_XML_NODE endElementNode =
{
    WS_XML_NODE_TYPE_END_ELEMENT
};
WS_XML_NODE* nodes[3] =
{
    &elementNode.node,
    &textNode.node,
    &endElementNode
};
