It consists of a DOM-like interface with rich traversal/modification capabilities, an extremely fast XML parser which constructs the DOM tree from an XML file/buffer, and an <> for complex data-driven tree queries. Full Unicode support is also available, with <> and conversions between different Unicode encodings (which happen automatically during parsing/saving). The library is <> and easy to integrate and use. pugixml is developed and maintained since 2006 and has many users. All code is distributed under the <>, making it completely free to use in both open-source and proprietary applications. + +pugixml enables very fast, convenient and memory-efficient XML document processing. However, since pugixml has a DOM parser, it can't process XML documents that do not fit in memory; also the parser is a non-validating one, so if you need DTD or XML Schema validation, the library is not for you. + +This is the complete manual for pugixml, which describes all features of the library in detail. If you want to start writing code as quickly as possible, you are advised to link:quickstart.html[read the quick start guide first]. + +NOTE: No documentation is perfect; neither is this one. If you encounter a description that is unclear, a statement that is incorrect or a syntactic error, please file an issue as described in <>. + +[[overview.feedback]] +=== Feedback + +If you believe you've found a bug in pugixml (bugs include compilation problems (errors/warnings), crashes, performance degradation and incorrect behavior), please file an issue via https://github.com/zeux/pugixml/issues/new[issue submission form]. Be sure to include the relevant information so that the bug can be reproduced: the version of pugixml, compiler version and target architecture, the code that uses pugixml and exhibits the bug, etc. + +Feature requests can be reported the same way as bugs, so if you're missing some functionality in pugixml or if the API is rough in some places and you can suggest an improvement, https://github.com/zeux/pugixml/issues/new[file an issue]. However please note that there are many factors when considering API changes (compatibility with previous versions, API redundancy, etc.), so generally features that can be implemented via a small function without pugixml modification are not accepted. However, all rules have exceptions. + +If you have a contribution to pugixml, such as build script for some build system/IDE, or a well-designed set of helper functions, or a binding to some language other than C{plus}{plus}, please https://github.com/zeux/pugixml/issues/new[file an issue]. You can include the relevant patches as issue attachments. Your contribution has to be distributed under the terms of a license that's compatible with pugixml license; i.e. GPL/LGPL licensed code is not accepted. + +If filing an issue is not possible due to privacy or other concerns, you can contact pugixml author by e-mail directly: arseny.kapoulkine@gmail.com. + +[[overview.thanks]] +=== Acknowledgments + +pugixml could not be developed without the help from many people; some of them are listed in this section.

You can either download a source distribution or clone the Git repository. + +[[install.getting.source]] +==== Source distributions + +You can download the latest source distribution via one of the following links: + +* https://github.com/zeux/pugixml/releases/download/v{version}/pugixml-{version}.zip +* https://github.com/zeux/pugixml/releases/download/v{version}/pugixml-{version}.tar.gz + +The distribution contains library source, documentation (the manual you're reading now and the quick start guide) and some code examples. After downloading the distribution, install pugixml by extracting all files from the compressed archive. The files have different line endings depending on the archive format - `.zip` archive has Windows line endings, `.tar.gz` archive has Unix line endings. Otherwise the files in both archives are identical. + +If you need an older version, you can download it from the https://github.com/zeux/pugixml/releases[version archive]. + +[[install.getting.git]] +==== Git repository + +The Git repository is located at https://github.com/zeux/pugixml/. There is a Git tag "v\{version\}" for each version; also there is the "latest" tag, which always points to the latest stable release. + +For example, to checkout the current version, you can use this command: + +---- +git clone https://github.com/zeux/pugixml +cd pugixml +git checkout v{version} TODO +---- + +The repository contains library source, documentation, code examples and full unit test suite. + +Use `latest` tag if you want to automatically get new versions. Use other tags if you want to switch to new versions only explicitly. Also please note that the master branch contains the work-in-progress version of the code; while this means that you can get new features and bug fixes from master without waiting for a new release, this also means that occasionally the code can be broken in some configurations. + +[[install.getting.subversion]] +===== Subversion repository + +You can access the Git repository via Subversion using https://github.com/zeux/pugixml URL. For example, to checkout the current version, you can use this command: + +---- +svn checkout https://github.com/zeux/pugixml/tags/v{version} pugixml TODO +---- + +[[install.building]] +=== Building pugixml + +pugixml is distributed in source form without any pre-built binaries; you have to build them yourself. + +The complete pugixml source consists of three files - one source file, `pugixml.cpp`, and two header files, `pugixml.hpp` and `pugiconfig.hpp`. `pugixml.hpp` is the primary header which you need to include in order to use pugixml classes/functions; `pugiconfig.hpp` is a supplementary configuration file (see <>). The rest of this guide assumes that `pugixml.hpp` is either in the current directory or in one of include directories of your projects, so that `#include "pugixml.hpp"` can find the header; however you can also use relative path (i.e. `#include "../libs/pugixml/src/pugixml.hpp"`) or include directory-relative path (i.e. `#include `). + +[[install.building.embed]] +==== Building pugixml as a part of another static library/executable + +The easiest way to build pugixml is to compile the source file, `pugixml.cpp`, along with the existing library/executable. This process depends on the method of building your application; for example, if you're using Microsoft Visual Studio[ftnt trademarks All trademarks used are properties of their respective owners.], Apple Xcode, Code::Blocks or any other IDE, just add `pugixml.cpp` to one of your projects. + +If you're using Microsoft Visual Studio and the project has precompiled headers turned on, you'll see the following error messages: + +---- +pugixml.cpp(3477) : fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header. Did you forget to add '#include "stdafx.h"' to your source? +---- + +The correct way to resolve this is to disable precompiled headers for `pugixml.cpp`; you have to set "Create/Use Precompiled Header" option (Properties dialog -> C/C{plus}{plus} -> Precompiled Headers -> Create/Use Precompiled Header) to "Not Using Precompiled Headers". You'll have to do it for all project configurations/platforms (you can select Configuration "All Configurations" and Platform "All Platforms" before editing the option): + +[table +[[ +[@images/vs2005_pch1.png [$images/vs2005_pch1_thumb.png]] +[$images/next.png] +[@images/vs2005_pch2.png [$images/vs2005_pch2_thumb.png]] +[$images/next.png] +[@images/vs2005_pch3.png [$images/vs2005_pch3_thumb.png]] +[$images/next.png] +[@images/vs2005_pch4.png [$images/vs2005_pch4_thumb.png]] +]] ] + +[[install.building.static]] +==== Building pugixml as a standalone static library + +It's possible to compile pugixml as a standalone static library. This process depends on the method of building your application; pugixml distribution comes with project files for several popular IDEs/build systems. There are project files for Apple XCode3, Code::Blocks, Codelite, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2010, and configuration scripts for CMake and premake4. You're welcome to submit project files/build scripts for other software; see <>. + +There are two projects for each version of Microsoft Visual Studio: one for dynamically linked CRT, which has a name like `pugixml_vs2008.vcproj`, and another one for statically linked CRT, which has a name like `pugixml_vs2008_static.vcproj`. You should select the version that matches the CRT used in your application; the default option for new projects created by Microsoft Visual Studio is dynamically linked CRT, so unless you changed the defaults, you should use the version with dynamic CRT (i.e. `pugixml_vs2008.vcproj` for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008). + +In addition to adding pugixml project to your workspace, you'll have to make sure that your application links with pugixml library. If you're using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008, you can add a dependency from your application project to pugixml one. If you're using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, you'll have to add a reference to your application project instead. For other IDEs/systems, consult the relevant documentation. + +[table +[[Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008][Microsoft Visual Studio 2010]] +[[ +[@images/vs2005_link1.png [$images/vs2005_link1_thumb.png]] +[$images/next.png] +[@images/vs2005_link2.png [$images/vs2005_link2_thumb.png]] +][ +[@images/vs2010_link1.png [$images/vs2010_link1_thumb.png]] +[$images/next.png] +[@images/vs2010_link2.png [$images/vs2010_link2_thumb.png]] +]] ] + +[[install.building.shared]] +==== Building pugixml as a standalone shared library + +It's possible to compile pugixml as a standalone shared library. The process is usually similar to the static library approach; however, no preconfigured projects/scripts are included into pugixml distribution, so you'll have to do it yourself. Generally, if you're using GCC-based toolchain, the process does not differ from building any other library as DLL (adding -shared to compilation flags should suffice); if you're using MSVC-based toolchain, you'll have to explicitly mark exported symbols with a declspec attribute. You can do it by defining [link PUGIXML_API] macro, i.e. via `pugiconfig.hpp`: + +[source] +---- +#ifdef _DLL +#define PUGIXML_API __declspec(dllexport) +#else +#define PUGIXML_API __declspec(dllimport) +#endif +---- + +CAUTION: If you're using STL-related functions, you should use the shared runtime library to ensure that a single heap is used for STL allocations in your application and in pugixml; in MSVC, this means selecting the 'Multithreaded DLL' or 'Multithreaded Debug DLL' to 'Runtime library' property (/MD or /MDd linker switch). You should also make sure that your runtime library choice is consistent between different projects. + +[#PUGIXML_HEADER_ONLY] +[[install.building.header]] +==== Using pugixml in header-only mode + +It's possible to use pugixml in header-only mode. This means that all source code for pugixml will be included in every translation unit that includes `pugixml.hpp`. This is how most of Boost and STL libraries work. + +Note that there are advantages and drawbacks of this approach. Header mode may improve tree traversal/modification performance (because many simple functions will be inlined), if your compiler toolchain does not support link-time optimization, or if you have it turned off (with link-time optimization the performance should be similar to non-header mode). However, since compiler now has to compile pugixml source once for each translation unit that includes it, compilation times may increase noticeably. If you want to use pugixml in header mode but do not need XPath support, you can consider disabling it by using [link PUGIXML_NO_XPATH] define to improve compilation time. + +Enabling header-only mode is a two-step process: + +* You have to define `PUGIXML_HEADER_ONLY` +* You have to include `pugixml.cpp` whenever you include pugixml.hpp + +Both of these are best done via `pugiconfig.hpp` like this: + +[source] +---- +#define PUGIXML_HEADER_ONLY +#include "pugixml.cpp" +---- + +Note that it is safe to compile `pugixml.cpp` if `PUGIXML_HEADER_ONLY` is defined - so if you want to i.e. use header-only mode only in Release configuration, you +can include pugixml.cpp in your project (see <>), and conditionally enable header-only mode in `pugiconfig.hpp`, i.e.: + +[source] +---- +#ifndef _DEBUG + #define PUGIXML_HEADER_ONLY + #include "pugixml.cpp" +#endif +---- + +[[install.building.config]] +==== Additional configuration options + +pugixml uses several defines to control the compilation process. There are two ways to define them: either put the needed definitions to `pugiconfig.hpp` (it has some examples that are commented out) or provide them via compiler command-line. Consistency is important: the definitions should match in all source files that include `pugixml.hpp` (including pugixml sources) throughout the application. Adding defines to `pugiconfig.hpp` lets you guarantee this, unless your macro definition is wrapped in preprocessor `#if`/`#ifdef` directive and this directive is not consistent. `pugiconfig.hpp` will never contain anything but comments, which means that when upgrading to a new version, you can safely leave your modified version intact. + +[anchor PUGIXML_WCHAR_MODE] define toggles between UTF-8 style interface (the in-memory text encoding is assumed to be UTF-8, most functions use `char` as character type) and UTF-16/32 style interface (the in-memory text encoding is assumed to be UTF-16/32, depending on `wchar_t` size, most functions use `wchar_t` as character type). See <> for more details. + +[anchor PUGIXML_NO_XPATH] define disables XPath. Both XPath interfaces and XPath implementation are excluded from compilation. This option is provided in case you do not need XPath functionality and need to save code space. + +[anchor PUGIXML_NO_STL] define disables use of STL in pugixml. The functions that operate on STL types are no longer present (i.e. load/save via iostream) if this macro is defined. This option is provided in case your target platform does not have a standard-compliant STL implementation. + +[anchor PUGIXML_NO_EXCEPTIONS] define disables use of exceptions in pugixml. This option is provided in case your target platform does not have exception handling capabilities. + +[anchor PUGIXML_API], [anchor PUGIXML_CLASS] and [anchor PUGIXML_FUNCTION] defines let you specify custom attributes (i.e. declspec or calling conventions) for pugixml classes and non-member functions. In absence of `PUGIXML_CLASS` or `PUGIXML_FUNCTION` definitions, `PUGIXML_API` definition is used instead. For example, to specify fixed calling convention, you can define `PUGIXML_FUNCTION` to i.e. `__fastcall`. Another example is DLL import/export attributes in MSVC (see <>). + +NOTE: In that example `PUGIXML_API` is inconsistent between several source files; this is an exception to the consistency rule. + +[anchor PUGIXML_MEMORY_PAGE_SIZE], [anchor PUGIXML_MEMORY_OUTPUT_STACK] and [anchor PUGIXML_MEMORY_XPATH_PAGE_SIZE] can be used to customize certain important sizes to optimize memory usage for the application-specific patterns. For details see <>. + +[anchor PUGIXML_HAS_LONG_LONG] define enables support for `long long` type in pugixml. This define is automatically enabled if your platform is known to have `long long` support (i.e. has C{plus}{plus}-11 support or uses a reasonably modern version of a known compiler); if pugixml does not recognize that your platform supports `long long` but in fact it does, you can enable the define manually. + +[[install.portability]] +=== Portability + +pugixml is written in standard-compliant C{plus}{plus} with some compiler-specific workarounds where appropriate. pugixml is compatible with the C{plus}{plus}11 standard, but does not require C{plus}{plus}11 support. Each version is tested with a unit test suite (with code coverage about 99%) on the following platforms: + +* Microsoft Windows: + * Borland C{plus}{plus} Compiler 5.82 + * Digital Mars C{plus}{plus} Compiler 8.51 + * Intel C{plus}{plus} Compiler 8.0, 9.0 x86/x64, 10.0 x86/x64, 11.0 x86/x64 + * Metrowerks CodeWarrior 8.0 + * Microsoft Visual C{plus}{plus} 6.0, 7.0 (2002), 7.1 (2003), 8.0 (2005) x86/x64, 9.0 (2008) x86/x64, 10.0 (2010) x86/x64, 11.0 (2011) x86/x64/ARM, 12.0 (2013) x86/x64/ARM and some CLR versions + * MinGW (GCC) 3.4, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 x64 + +* Linux (GCC 4.4.3 x86/x64, GCC 4.8.1 x64, Clang 3.2 x64) +* FreeBSD (GCC 4.2.1 x86/x64) +* Apple MacOSX (GCC 4.0.1 x86/x64/PowerPC) +* Sun Solaris (sunCC x86/x64) +* Microsoft Xbox 360 +* Nintendo Wii (Metrowerks CodeWarrior 4.1) +* Sony Playstation Portable (GCC 3.4.2) +* Sony Playstation 3 (GCC 4.1.1, SNC 310.1) +* Various portable platforms (Android NDK, BlackBerry NDK, Samsung bada, Windows CE) + +[[dom]] +== Document object model + +pugixml stores XML data in DOM-like way: the entire XML document (both document structure and element data) is stored in memory as a tree. The tree can be loaded from a character stream (file, string, C{plus}{plus} I/O stream), then traversed with the special API or XPath expressions. The whole tree is mutable: both node structure and node/attribute data can be changed at any time. Finally, the result of document transformations can be saved to a character stream (file, C{plus}{plus} I/O stream or custom transport). + +[[dom.tree]] +=== Tree structure + +The XML document is represented with a tree data structure. The root of the tree is the document itself, which corresponds to C{plus}{plus} type [link xml_document]. Document has one or more child nodes, which correspond to C{plus}{plus} type [link xml_node]. Nodes have different types; depending on a type, a node can have a collection of child nodes, a collection of attributes, which correspond to C{plus}{plus} type [link xml_attribute], and some additional data (i.e. name). + +[#xml_node_type] +The tree nodes can be of one of the following types (which together form the enumeration `xml_node_type`): + +* Document node ([anchor node_document]) - this is the root of the tree, which consists of several child nodes. This node corresponds to [link xml_document] class; note that [link xml_document] is a sub-class of [link xml_node], so the entire node interface is also available. However, document node is special in several ways, which are covered below. There can be only one document node in the tree; document node does not have any XML representation. +[lbr] + +* Element/tag node ([anchor node_element]) - this is the most common type of node, which represents XML elements. Element nodes have a name, a collection of attributes and a collection of child nodes (both of which may be empty). The attribute is a simple name/value pair. The example XML representation of element nodes is as follows: + +---- + +---- + +[:There are two element nodes here: one has name `"node"`, single attribute `"attr"` and single child `"child"`, another has name `"child"` and does not have any attributes or child nodes.] + +* Plain character data nodes ([anchor node_pcdata]) represent plain text in XML. PCDATA nodes have a value, but do not have a name or children/attributes. Note that *plain character data is not a part of the element node but instead has its own node*; an element node can have several child PCDATA nodes. The example XML representation of text nodes is as follows: + +---- + text1 text2 +---- + +[:Here `"node"` element has three children, two of which are PCDATA nodes with values `" text1 "` and `" text2 "`.] + +* Character data nodes ([anchor node_cdata]) represent text in XML that is quoted in a special way. CDATA nodes do not differ from PCDATA nodes except in XML representation - the above text example looks like this with CDATA: + +---- + +---- + +[:CDATA nodes make it easy to include non-escaped <, & and > characters in plain text. CDATA value can not contain the character sequence ]]>, since it is used to determine the end of node contents.] + +* Comment nodes ([anchor node_comment]) represent comments in XML. Comment nodes have a value, but do not have a name or children/attributes. The example XML representation of a comment node is as follows: + +---- + +---- + +[:Here the comment node has value `"comment text"`. By default comment nodes are treated as non-essential part of XML markup and are not loaded during XML parsing. You can override this behavior with [link parse_comments] flag.] + +* Processing instruction node ([anchor node_pi]) represent processing instructions (PI) in XML. PI nodes have a name and an optional value, but do not have children/attributes. The example XML representation of a PI node is as follows: + +---- + +---- + +[:Here the name (also called PI target) is `"name"`, and the value is `"value"`. By default PI nodes are treated as non-essential part of XML markup and are not loaded during XML parsing. You can override this behavior with [link parse_pi] flag.] + +* Declaration node ([anchor node_declaration]) represents document declarations in XML. Declaration nodes have a name (`"xml"`) and an optional collection of attributes, but do not have value or children. There can be only one declaration node in a document; moreover, it should be the topmost node (its parent should be the document). The example XML representation of a declaration node is as follows: + +---- + +---- + +[:Here the node has name `"xml"` and a single attribute with name `"version"` and value `"1.0"`. By default declaration nodes are treated as non-essential part of XML markup and are not loaded during XML parsing. You can override this behavior with [link parse_declaration] flag. Also, by default a dummy declaration is output when XML document is saved unless there is already a declaration in the document; you can disable this with [link format_no_declaration] flag.] + +* Document type declaration node ([anchor node_doctype]) represents document type declarations in XML. Document type declaration nodes have a value, which corresponds to the entire document type contents; no additional nodes are created for inner elements like ``. There can be only one document type declaration node in a document; moreover, it should be the topmost node (its parent should be the document). The example XML representation of a document type declaration node is as follows: + +---- + ]> +---- + +[:Here the node has value `"greeting [ ]"`. By default document type declaration nodes are treated as non-essential part of XML markup and are not loaded during XML parsing. You can override this behavior with [link parse_doctype] flag.] + +Finally, here is a complete example of XML document and the corresponding tree representation (link:samples/tree.xml[]): + +[table + +[[ +`` + + + + some text + + some more text + + + + + + +`` +][ +[@images/dom_tree.png [$images/dom_tree_thumb.png]] +]]] + + +[[dom.cpp]] +=== C{plus}{plus} interface + +NOTE: All pugixml classes and functions are located in the `pugi` namespace; you have to either use explicit name qualification (i.e. `pugi::xml_node`), or to gain access to relevant symbols via `using` directive (i.e. `using pugi::xml_node;` or `using namespace pugi;`). The namespace will be omitted from all declarations in this documentation hereafter; all code examples will use fully qualified names. + +Despite the fact that there are several node types, there are only three C{plus}{plus} classes representing the tree (`xml_document`, `xml_node`, `xml_attribute`); some operations on `xml_node` are only valid for certain node types. The classes are described below. + +[#xml_document] +[#xml_document::document_element] +`xml_document` is the owner of the entire document structure; it is a non-copyable class. The interface of `xml_document` consists of loading functions (see <>), saving functions (see <>) and the entire interface of `xml_node`, which allows for document inspection and/or modification. Note that while `xml_document` is a sub-class of `xml_node`, `xml_node` is not a polymorphic type; the inheritance is present only to simplify usage. Alternatively you can use the `document_element` function to get the element node that's the immediate child of the document. + +[#xml_document::ctor] +[#xml_document::dtor] +[#xml_document::reset] +Default constructor of `xml_document` initializes the document to the tree with only a root node (document node). You can then populate it with data using either tree modification functions or loading functions; all loading functions destroy the previous tree with all occupied memory, which puts existing node/attribute handles for this document to invalid state. If you want to destroy the previous tree, you can use the `xml_document::reset` function; it destroys the tree and replaces it with either an empty one or a copy of the specified document. Destructor of `xml_document` also destroys the tree, thus the lifetime of the document object should exceed the lifetimes of any node/attribute handles that point to the tree. + +CAUTION: While technically node/attribute handles can be alive when the tree they're referring to is destroyed, calling any member function for these handles results in undefined behavior. Thus it is recommended to make sure that the document is destroyed only after all references to its nodes/attributes are destroyed. + +[#xml_node] +[#xml_node::type] +`xml_node` is the handle to document node; it can point to any node in the document, including the document node itself. There is a common interface for nodes of all types; the actual [link xml_node_type node type] can be queried via the `xml_node::type()` method. Note that `xml_node` is only a handle to the actual node, not the node itself - you can have several `xml_node` handles pointing to the same underlying object. Destroying `xml_node` handle does not destroy the node and does not remove it from the tree. The size of `xml_node` is equal to that of a pointer, so it is nothing more than a lightweight wrapper around a pointer; you can safely pass or return `xml_node` objects by value without additional overhead. + +[#node_null] +There is a special value of `xml_node` type, known as null node or empty node (such nodes have type `node_null`). It does not correspond to any node in any document, and thus resembles null pointer. However, all operations are defined on empty nodes; generally the operations don't do anything and return empty nodes/attributes or empty strings as their result (see documentation for specific functions for more detailed information). This is useful for chaining calls; i.e. you can get the grandparent of a node like so: `node.parent().parent()`; if a node is a null node or it does not have a parent, the first `parent()` call returns null node; the second `parent()` call then also returns null node, which makes error handling easier. + +[#xml_attribute] +`xml_attribute` is the handle to an XML attribute; it has the same semantics as `xml_node`, i.e. there can be several `xml_attribute` handles pointing to the same underlying object and there is a special null attribute value, which propagates to function results. + +[#xml_attribute::ctor] +[#xml_node::ctor] +Both `xml_node` and `xml_attribute` have the default constructor which initializes them to null objects. + +[#xml_attribute::comparison] +[#xml_node::comparison] +`xml_node` and `xml_attribute` try to behave like pointers, that is, they can be compared with other objects of the same type, making it possible to use them as keys in associative containers. All handles to the same underlying object are equal, and any two handles to different underlying objects are not equal. Null handles only compare as equal to themselves. The result of relational comparison can not be reliably determined from the order of nodes in file or in any other way. Do not use relational comparison operators except for search optimization (i.e. associative container keys). + +[#xml_attribute::hash_value] +[#xml_node::hash_value] +If you want to use `xml_node` or `xml_attribute` objects as keys in hash-based associative containers, you can use the `hash_value` member functions. They return the hash values that are guaranteed to be the same for all handles to the same underlying object. The hash value for null handles is 0. + +[#xml_attribute::unspecified_bool_type] +[#xml_node::unspecified_bool_type] +[#xml_attribute::empty] +[#xml_node::empty] +Finally handles can be implicitly cast to boolean-like objects, so that you can test if the node/attribute is empty with the following code: `if (node) { ... }` or `if (!node) { ... } else { ... }`. Alternatively you can check if a given `xml_node`/`xml_attribute` handle is null by calling the following methods: + +[source] +---- +bool xml_attribute::empty() const; +bool xml_node::empty() const; +---- + +Nodes and attributes do not exist without a document tree, so you can't create them without adding them to some document. Once underlying node/attribute objects are destroyed, the handles to those objects become invalid. While this means that destruction of the entire tree invalidates all node/attribute handles, it also means that destroying a subtree (by calling [link xml_node::remove_child]) or removing an attribute invalidates the corresponding handles. There is no way to check handle validity; you have to ensure correctness through external mechanisms. + +[[dom.unicode]] +=== Unicode interface + +There are two choices of interface and internal representation when configuring pugixml: you can either choose the UTF-8 (also called char) interface or UTF-16/32 (also called wchar_t) one. The choice is controlled via [link PUGIXML_WCHAR_MODE] define; you can set it via `pugiconfig.hpp` or via preprocessor options, as discussed in <>. If this define is set, the wchar_t interface is used; otherwise (by default) the char interface is used. The exact wide character encoding is assumed to be either UTF-16 or UTF-32 and is determined based on the size of `wchar_t` type. + +NOTE: If the size of `wchar_t` is 2, pugixml assumes UTF-16 encoding instead of UCS-2, which means that some characters are represented as two code points. + +All tree functions that work with strings work with either C-style null terminated strings or STL strings of the selected character type. For example, node name accessors look like this in char mode: + +[source] +---- +const char* xml_node::name() const; +bool xml_node::set_name(const char* value); +---- + +and like this in wchar_t mode: + +[source] +---- +const wchar_t* xml_node::name() const; +bool xml_node::set_name(const wchar_t* value); +---- + +[#char_t] +[#string_t] +There is a special type, `pugi::char_t`, that is defined as the character type and depends on the library configuration; it will be also used in the documentation hereafter. There is also a type `pugi::string_t`, which is defined as the STL string of the character type; it corresponds to `std::string` in char mode and to `std::wstring` in wchar_t mode. + +In addition to the interface, the internal implementation changes to store XML data as `pugi::char_t`; this means that these two modes have different memory usage characteristics. The conversion to `pugi::char_t` upon document loading and from `pugi::char_t` upon document saving happen automatically, which also carries minor performance penalty. The general advice however is to select the character mode based on usage scenario, i.e. if UTF-8 is inconvenient to process and most of your XML data is non-ASCII, wchar_t mode is probably a better choice. + +[#as_utf8] +[#as_wide] +There are cases when you'll have to convert string data between UTF-8 and wchar_t encodings; the following helper functions are provided for such purposes: + +[source] +---- +std::string as_utf8(const wchar_t* str); +std::wstring as_wide(const char* str); +---- + +Both functions accept a null-terminated string as an argument `str`, and return the converted string. `as_utf8` performs conversion from UTF-16/32 to UTF-8; `as_wide` performs conversion from UTF-8 to UTF-16/32. Invalid UTF sequences are silently discarded upon conversion. `str` has to be a valid string; passing null pointer results in undefined behavior. There are also two overloads with the same semantics which accept a string as an argument: + +[source] +---- +std::string as_utf8(const std::wstring& str); +std::wstring as_wide(const std::string& str); +---- + +[NOTE] +==== +Most examples in this documentation assume char interface and therefore will not compile with [link PUGIXML_WCHAR_MODE]. This is done to simplify the documentation; usually the only changes you'll have to make is to pass `wchar_t` string literals, i.e. instead of + +`xml_node node = doc.child("bookstore").find_child_by_attribute("book", "id", "12345");` + +you'll have to do + +`xml_node node = doc.child(L"bookstore").find_child_by_attribute(L"book", L"id", L"12345");` +==== + +[[dom.thread]] +=== Thread-safety guarantees + +Almost all functions in pugixml have the following thread-safety guarantees: + +* it is safe to call free (non-member) functions from multiple threads +* it is safe to perform concurrent read-only accesses to the same tree (all constant member functions do not modify the tree) +* it is safe to perform concurrent read/write accesses, if there is only one read or write access to the single tree at a time + +Concurrent modification and traversing of a single tree requires synchronization, for example via reader-writer lock. Modification includes altering document structure and altering individual node/attribute data, i.e. changing names/values. + +The only exception is [link set_memory_management_functions]; it modifies global variables and as such is not thread-safe. Its usage policy has more restrictions, see <>. + +[[dom.exception]] +=== Exception guarantees + +With the exception of XPath, pugixml itself does not throw any exceptions. Additionally, most pugixml functions have a no-throw exception guarantee. + +This is not applicable to functions that operate on STL strings or IOstreams; such functions have either strong guarantee (functions that operate on strings) or basic guarantee (functions that operate on streams). Also functions that call user-defined callbacks (i.e. [link xml_node::traverse] or [link xml_node::find_node]) do not provide any exception guarantees beyond the ones provided by the callback. + +If exception handling is not disabled with [link PUGIXML_NO_EXCEPTIONS] define, XPath functions may throw [link xpath_exception] on parsing errors; also, XPath functions may throw `std::bad_alloc` in low memory conditions. Still, XPath functions provide strong exception guarantee. + +[[dom.memory]] +=== Memory management + +pugixml requests the memory needed for document storage in big chunks, and allocates document data inside those chunks. This section discusses replacing functions used for chunk allocation and internal memory management implementation. + +[[dom.memory.custom]] +==== Custom memory allocation/deallocation functions + +[#allocation_function] +[#deallocation_function] +All memory for tree structure, tree data and XPath objects is allocated via globally specified functions, which default to malloc/free.

If the allocation fails, the function has to return null pointer (throwing an exception from allocation function results in undefined behavior). + +Deallocation function is called with the pointer that was returned by some call to allocation function; it is never called with a null pointer. If memory management functions are not thread-safe, library thread safety is not guaranteed. + +This is a simple example of custom memory management (link:samples/custom_memory_management.cpp[]): + +[source,indent=0] +---- +include::samples/custom_memory_management.cpp[tags=decl] +---- +[source,indent=0] +---- +include::samples/custom_memory_management.cpp[tags=call] +---- + +When setting new memory management functions, care must be taken to make sure that there are no live pugixml objects. Otherwise when the objects are destroyed, the new deallocation function will be called with the memory obtained by the old allocation function, resulting in undefined behavior. + +[[dom.memory.tuning]] +==== Memory consumption tuning + +There are several important buffering optimizations in pugixml that rely on predefined constants. These constants have default values that were tuned for common usage patterns; for some applications, changing these constants might improve memory consumption or increase performance. Changing these constants is not recommended unless their default values result in visible problems. + +These constants can be tuned via configuration defines, as discussed in <>; it is recommended to set them in `pugiconfig.hpp`. + +* `PUGIXML_MEMORY_PAGE_SIZE` controls the page size for document memory allocation. Memory for node/attribute objects is allocated in pages of the specified size. The default size is 32 Kb; for some applications the size is too large (i.e. embedded systems with little heap space or applications that keep lots of XML documents in memory). A minimum size of 1 Kb is recommended. +[lbr] + +* `PUGIXML_MEMORY_OUTPUT_STACK` controls the cumulative stack space required to output the node. Any output operation (i.e. saving a subtree to file) uses an internal buffering scheme for performance reasons. The default size is 10 Kb; if you're using node output from threads with little stack space, decreasing this value can prevent stack overflows. A minimum size of 1 Kb is recommended. +[lbr] + +* `PUGIXML_MEMORY_XPATH_PAGE_SIZE` controls the page size for XPath memory allocation. Memory for XPath query objects as well as internal memory for XPath evaluation is allocated in pages of the specified size. The default size is 4 Kb; if you have a lot of resident XPath query objects, you might need to decrease the size to improve memory consumption. A minimum size of 256 bytes is recommended. + +[[dom.memory.internals]] +==== Document memory management internals + +Constructing a document object using the default constructor does not result in any allocations; document node is stored inside the [link xml_document] object. + +When the document is loaded from file/buffer, unless an inplace loading function is used (see <>), a complete copy of character stream is made; all names/values of nodes and attributes are allocated in this buffer. This buffer is allocated via a single large allocation and is only freed when document memory is reclaimed (i.e. if the [link xml_document] object is destroyed or if another document is loaded in the same object). Also when loading from file or stream, an additional large allocation may be performed if encoding conversion is required; a temporary buffer is allocated, and it is freed before load function returns. + +All additional memory, such as memory for document structure (node/attribute objects) and memory for node/attribute names/values is allocated in pages on the order of 32 kilobytes; actual objects are allocated inside the pages using a memory management scheme optimized for fast allocation/deallocation of many small objects. Because of the scheme specifics, the pages are only destroyed if all objects inside them are destroyed; also, generally destroying an object does not mean that subsequent object creation will reuse the same memory. This means that it is possible to devise a usage scheme which will lead to higher memory usage than expected; one example is adding a lot of nodes, and them removing all even numbered ones; not a single page is reclaimed in the process. However this is an example specifically crafted to produce unsatisfying behavior; in all practical usage scenarios the memory consumption is less than that of a general-purpose allocator because allocation meta-data is very small in size. + +[[loading]] +== Loading document + +pugixml provides several functions for loading XML data from various places - files, C{plus}{plus} iostreams, memory buffers. All functions use an extremely fast non-validating parser. This parser is not fully W3C conformant - it can load any valid XML document, but does not perform some well-formedness checks. While considerable effort is made to reject invalid XML documents, some validation is not performed for performance reasons. Also some XML transformations (i.e. EOL handling or attribute value normalization) can impact parsing speed and thus can be disabled. However for vast majority of XML documents there is no performance difference between different parsing options. Parsing options also control whether certain XML nodes are parsed; see <> for more information. + +XML data is always converted to internal character format (see <>) before parsing. pugixml supports all popular Unicode encodings (UTF-8, UTF-16 (big and little endian), UTF-32 (big and little endian); UCS-2 is naturally supported since it's a strict subset of UTF-16) and handles all encoding conversions automatically. Unless explicit encoding is specified, loading functions perform automatic encoding detection based on first few characters of XML data, so in almost all cases you do not have to specify document encoding. Encoding conversion is described in more detail in <>. + +[[loading.file]] +=== Loading document from file + +[#xml_document::load_file] +[#xml_document::load_file_wide] +The most common source of XML data is files; pugixml provides dedicated functions for loading an XML document from file: + +[source] +---- +xml_parse_result xml_document::load_file(const char* path, unsigned int options = parse_default, xml_encoding encoding = encoding_auto); +xml_parse_result xml_document::load_file(const wchar_t* path, unsigned int options = parse_default, xml_encoding encoding = encoding_auto); +---- + +These functions accept the file path as its first argument, and also two optional arguments, which specify parsing options (see <>) and input data encoding (see <>). The path has the target operating system format, so it can be a relative or absolute one, it should have the delimiters of the target system, it should have the exact case if the target file system is case-sensitive, etc. + +File path is passed to the system file opening function as is in case of the first function (which accepts `const char* path`); the second function either uses a special file opening function if it is provided by the runtime library or converts the path to UTF-8 and uses the system file opening function. + +`load_file` destroys the existing document tree and then tries to load the new tree from the specified file. The result of the operation is returned in an [link xml_parse_result] object; this object contains the operation status and the related information (i.e. last successfully parsed position in the input file, if parsing fails). See <> for error handling details. + +This is an example of loading XML document from file (link:samples/load_file.cpp[]): + +[source,indent=0] +---- +include::samples/load_file.cpp[tags=code] +---- + +[[loading.memory]] +=== Loading document from memory + +[#xml_document::load_buffer] +[#xml_document::load_buffer_inplace] +[#xml_document::load_buffer_inplace_own] +Sometimes XML data should be loaded from some other source than a file, i.e. HTTP URL; also you may want to load XML data from file using non-standard functions, i.e. to use your virtual file system facilities or to load XML from gzip-compressed files. All these scenarios require loading document from memory. First you should prepare a contiguous memory block with all XML data; then you have to invoke one of buffer loading functions. These functions will handle the necessary encoding conversions, if any, and then will parse the data into the corresponding XML tree. There are several buffer loading functions, which differ in the behavior and thus in performance/memory usage: + +[source] +---- +xml_parse_result xml_document::load_buffer(const void* contents, size_t size, unsigned int options = parse_default, xml_encoding encoding = encoding_auto); +xml_parse_result xml_document::load_buffer_inplace(void* contents, size_t size, unsigned int options = parse_default, xml_encoding encoding = encoding_auto); +xml_parse_result xml_document::load_buffer_inplace_own(void* contents, size_t size, unsigned int options = parse_default, xml_encoding encoding = encoding_auto); +---- + +All functions accept the buffer which is represented by a pointer to XML data, `contents`, and data size in bytes. Also there are two optional arguments, which specify parsing options (see <>) and input data encoding (see <>). The buffer does not have to be zero-terminated. + +`load_buffer` function works with immutable buffer - it does not ever modify the buffer. Because of this restriction it has to create a private buffer and copy XML data to it before parsing (applying encoding conversions if necessary). This copy operation carries a performance penalty, so inplace functions are provided - `load_buffer_inplace` and `load_buffer_inplace_own` store the document data in the buffer, modifying it in the process. In order for the document to stay valid, you have to make sure that the buffer's lifetime exceeds that of the tree if you're using inplace functions. In addition to that, `load_buffer_inplace` does not assume ownership of the buffer, so you'll have to destroy it yourself; `load_buffer_inplace_own` assumes ownership of the buffer and destroys it once it is not needed. This means that if you're using `load_buffer_inplace_own`, you have to allocate memory with pugixml allocation function (you can get it via [link get_memory_allocation_function]). + +The best way from the performance/memory point of view is to load document using `load_buffer_inplace_own`; this function has maximum control of the buffer with XML data so it is able to avoid redundant copies and reduce peak memory usage while parsing. This is the recommended function if you have to load the document from memory and performance is critical. + +[#xml_document::load_string] +There is also a simple helper function for cases when you want to load the XML document from null-terminated character string: + +[source] +---- +xml_parse_result xml_document::load_string(const char_t* contents, unsigned int options = parse_default); +---- + +It is equivalent to calling `load_buffer` with `size` being either `strlen(contents)` or `wcslen(contents) * sizeof(wchar_t)`, depending on the character type. This function assumes native encoding for input data, so it does not do any encoding conversion. In general, this function is fine for loading small documents from string literals, but has more overhead and less functionality than the buffer loading functions. + +This is an example of loading XML document from memory using different functions (link:samples/load_memory.cpp[]): + +[source,indent=0] +---- +include::samples/load_memory.cpp[tags=decl] +---- +[source,indent=0] +---- +include::samples/load_memory.cpp[tags=load_buffer] +---- +[source,indent=0] +---- +include::samples/load_memory.cpp[tags=load_buffer_inplace_begin] + +include::samples/load_memory.cpp[tags=load_buffer_inplace_end] +---- +[source,indent=0] +---- +include::samples/load_memory.cpp[tags=load_buffer_inplace_own] +---- +[source,indent=0] +---- +include::samples/load_memory.cpp[tags=load_string] +---- + + +[[loading.stream]] +=== Loading document from C{plus}{plus} IOstreams + +[#xml_document::load_stream] +To enhance interoperability, pugixml provides functions for loading document from any object which implements C{plus}{plus} `std::istream` interface. This allows you to load documents from any standard C{plus}{plus} stream (i.e. file stream) or any third-party compliant implementation (i.e. Boost Iostreams). There are two functions, one works with narrow character streams, another handles wide character ones: + +[source] +---- +xml_parse_result xml_document::load(std::istream& stream, unsigned int options = parse_default, xml_encoding encoding = encoding_auto); +xml_parse_result xml_document::load(std::wistream& stream, unsigned int options = parse_default); +---- + +`load` with `std::istream` argument loads the document from stream from the current read position to the end, treating the stream contents as a byte stream of the specified encoding (with encoding autodetection as necessary). Thus calling `xml_document::load` on an opened `std::ifstream` object is equivalent to calling `xml_document::load_file`. + +`load` with `std::wstream` argument treats the stream contents as a wide character stream (encoding is always [link encoding_wchar]). Because of this, using `load` with wide character streams requires careful (usually platform-specific) stream setup (i.e. using the `imbue` function). Generally use of wide streams is discouraged, however it provides you the ability to load documents from non-Unicode encodings, i.e. you can load Shift-JIS encoded data if you set the correct locale. + +This is a simple example of loading XML document from file using streams (link:samples/load_stream.cpp[]); read the sample code for more complex examples involving wide streams and locales: + +[source,indent=0] +---- +include::samples/load_stream.cpp[tags=code] +---- + +[[loading.errors]] +=== Handling parsing errors + +[#xml_parse_result] +All document loading functions return the parsing result via `xml_parse_result` object.

However please note that the exact messages returned by `description()` function may change from version to version, so any complex status handling should be based on `status` value. Note that `description()` returns a `char` string even in `PUGIXML_WCHAR_MODE`; you'll have to call [link as_wide] to get the `wchar_t` string. + +If parsing failed because the source data was not a valid XML, the resulting tree is not destroyed - despite the fact that load function returns error, you can use the part of the tree that was successfully parsed.

Often whitespace-only data is not significant for the application, and the cost of allocating and storing such nodes (both memory and speed-wise) can be significant. For example, after parsing XML string ` `, `` element will have three children when `parse_ws_pcdata` is set (child with type [link node_pcdata] and value `" "`, child with type [link node_element] and name `"a"`, and another child with type [link node_pcdata] and value `" "`), and only one child when `parse_ws_pcdata` is not set. This flag is *off* by default. +[lbr] + +* [anchor parse_ws_pcdata_single] determines if whitespace-only PCDATA nodes that have no sibling nodes are to be put in DOM tree. In some cases application needs to parse the whitespace-only contents of nodes, i.e. ` `, but is not interested in whitespace markup elsewhere. It is possible to use [link parse_ws_pcdata] flag in this case, but it results in excessive allocations and complicates document processing in some cases; this flag is intended to avoid that. As an example, after parsing XML string ` ` with `parse_ws_pcdata_single` flag set, `` element will have one child ``, and `` element will have one child with type [link node_pcdata] and value `" "`. This flag has no effect if [link parse_ws_pcdata] is enabled. This flag is *off* by default. +[lbr] + +* [anchor parse_fragment] determines if document should be treated as a fragment of a valid XML. Parsing document as a fragment leads to top-level PCDATA content (i.e. text that is not located inside a node) to be added to a tree, and additionally treats documents without element nodes as valid. This flag is *off* by default. + +CAUTION: Using in-place parsing ([link xml_document::load_buffer_inplace load_buffer_inplace]) with `parse_fragment` flag may result in the loss of the last character of the buffer if it is a part of PCDATA. Since PCDATA values are null-terminated strings, the only way to resolve this is to provide a null-terminated buffer as an input to `load_buffer_inplace` - i.e. `doc.load_buffer_inplace("test\0", 5, pugi::parse_default | pugi::parse_fragment)`. + +These flags control the transformation of tree element contents: + +* [anchor parse_escapes] determines if character and entity references are to be expanded during the parsing process. Character references have the form [^&#...;] or [^&#x...;] ([^...] is Unicode numeric representation of character in either decimal ([^&#...;]) or hexadecimal ([^&#x...;]) form), entity references are [^<], [^>], [^&], [^'] and [^"] (note that as pugixml does not handle DTD, the only allowed entities are predefined ones). If character/entity reference can not be expanded, it is left as is, so you can do additional processing later. Reference expansion is performed on attribute values and PCDATA content. This flag is *on* by default. +[lbr] + +* [anchor parse_eol] determines if EOL handling (that is, replacing sequences `0x0d 0x0a` by a single `0x0a` character, and replacing all standalone `0x0d` characters by `0x0a`) is to be performed on input data (that is, comments contents, PCDATA/CDATA contents and attribute values). This flag is *on* by default. +[lbr] + +* [anchor parse_wconv_attribute] determines if attribute value normalization should be performed for all attributes. This means, that whitespace characters (new line, tab and space) are replaced with space (`' '`). New line characters are always treated as if [link parse_eol] is set, i.e. `\r\n` is converted to a single space. This flag is *on* by default. +[lbr] + +* [anchor parse_wnorm_attribute] determines if extended attribute value normalization should be performed for all attributes. This means, that after attribute values are normalized as if [link parse_wconv_attribute] was set, leading and trailing space characters are removed, and all sequences of space characters are replaced by a single space character. [link parse_wconv_attribute] has no effect if this flag is on. This flag is *off* by default. + +NOTE: `parse_wconv_attribute` option performs transformations that are required by W3C specification for attributes that are declared as [^CDATA]; [link parse_wnorm_attribute] performs transformations required for [^NMTOKENS] attributes.

This option mask means that pugixml does not add declaration nodes, document type declaration nodes, PI nodes, CDATA sections and comments to the resulting tree and does not perform any conversion for input data, so theoretically it is the fastest mode. However, as mentioned above, in practice [link parse_default] is usually equally fast. +[lbr] + +* [anchor parse_default] is the default set of flags, i.e. it has all options set to their default values.

However since this is an often needed operation, pugixml provides built-in node/attribute cloning facilities. Since nodes and attributes do not exist without a document tree, you can't create a standalone copy - you have to immediately insert it somewhere in the tree.

The functions return the handle to the resulting duplicate object, or null handle on failure. + +The attribute is copied along with the name and value; the node is copied along with its type, name and value; additionally attribute list and all children are recursively cloned, resulting in the deep subtree clone. The prototype object can be a part of the same document, or a part of any other document. + +The failure conditions resemble those of `append_child`, `insert_child_before` and related functions, [link xml_node::append_child consult their documentation for more information]. There are additional caveats specific to cloning functions: + +* Cloning null handles results in operation failure; +* Node cloning starts with insertion of the node of the same type as that of the prototype; for this reason, cloning functions can not be directly used to clone entire documents, since [link node_document] is not a valid insertion type. The example below provides a workaround. +* It is possible to copy a subtree as a child of some node inside this subtree, i.e. `node.append_copy(node.parent().parent());`. This is a valid operation, and it results in a clone of the subtree in the state before cloning started, i.e. no infinite recursion takes place. + +This is an example with one possible implementation of include tags in XML (link:samples/include.cpp[]).

Assuming there is a set of document fragments, represented as in-memory buffers, the implementation choices are as follows: + +* Use a temporary document to parse the data from a string, then clone the nodes to a destination node. For example: + +[source] +---- +bool append_fragment(pugi::xml_node target, const char* buffer, size_t size) +{ + pugi::xml_document doc; + if (!doc.load_buffer(buffer, size)) return false; + + for (pugi::xml_node child = doc.first_child(); child; child = child.next_sibling()) + target.append_copy(child); +} +---- + +* Cache the parsing step - instead of keeping in-memory buffers, keep document objects that already contain the parsed fragment: + +[source] +---- +bool append_fragment(pugi::xml_node target, const pugi::xml_document& cached_fragment) +{ + for (pugi::xml_node child = cached_fragment.first_child(); child; child = child.next_sibling()) + target.append_copy(child); +} +---- + +* Use `xml_node::append_buffer` directly: + +[source] +---- +xml_parse_result xml_node::append_buffer(const void* contents, size_t size, unsigned int options = parse_default, xml_encoding encoding = encoding_auto); +---- + +The first method is more convenient, but slower than the other two. The relative performance of `append_copy` and `append_buffer` depends on the buffer format - usually `append_buffer` is faster if the buffer is in native encoding (UTF-8 or wchar_t, depending on `PUGIXML_WCHAR_MODE`). At the same time it might be less efficient in terms of memory usage - the implementation makes a copy of the provided buffer, and the copy has the same lifetime as the document - the memory used by that copy will be reclaimed after the document is destroyed, but no sooner. Even deleting all nodes in the document, including the appended ones, won't reclaim the memory. + +`append_buffer` behaves in the same way as [link xml_document::load_buffer] - the input buffer is a byte buffer, with size in bytes; the buffer is not modified and can be freed after the function returns. + +[#status_append_invalid_root] +Since `append_buffer` needs to append child nodes to the current node, it only works if the current node is either document or element node. Calling `append_buffer` on a node with any other type results in an error with `status_append_invalid_root` status. + +[[saving]] +== Saving document + +Often after creating a new document or loading the existing one and processing it, it is necessary to save the result back to file. Also it is occasionally useful to output the whole document or a subtree to some stream; use cases include debug printing, serialization via network or other text-oriented medium, etc. pugixml provides several functions to output any subtree of the document to a file, stream or another generic transport interface; these functions allow to customize the output format (see <>), and also perform necessary encoding conversions (see <>). This section documents the relevant functionality. + +Before writing to the destination the node/attribute data is properly formatted according to the node type; all special XML symbols, such as < and &, are properly escaped (unless [link format_no_escapes] flag is set). In order to guard against forgotten node/attribute names, empty node/attribute names are printed as `":anonymous"`. For well-formed output, make sure all node and attribute names are set to meaningful values. + +CDATA sections with values that contain `"]]>"` are split into several sections as follows: section with value `"pre]]>post"` is written as `post]]>`. While this alters the structure of the document (if you load the document after saving it, there will be two CDATA sections instead of one), this is the only way to escape CDATA contents. + +[[saving.file]] +=== Saving document to a file + +[#xml_document::save_file] +[#xml_document::save_file_wide] +If you want to save the whole document to a file, you can use one of the following functions: + +[source] +---- +bool xml_document::save_file(const char* path, const char_t* indent = "\t", unsigned int flags = format_default, xml_encoding encoding = encoding_auto) const; +bool xml_document::save_file(const wchar_t* path, const char_t* indent = "\t", unsigned int flags = format_default, xml_encoding encoding = encoding_auto) const; +---- + +These functions accept file path as its first argument, and also three optional arguments, which specify indentation and other output options (see <>) and output data encoding (see <>).

This allows you to save documents to any standard C{plus}{plus} stream (i.e. file stream) or any third-party compliant implementation (i.e. Boost Iostreams). Most notably, this allows for easy debug output, since you can use `std::cout` stream as saving target. There are two functions, one works with narrow character streams, another handles wide character ones: + +[source] +---- +void xml_document::save(std::ostream& stream, const char_t* indent = "\t", unsigned int flags = format_default, xml_encoding encoding = encoding_auto) const; +void xml_document::save(std::wostream& stream, const char_t* indent = "\t", unsigned int flags = format_default) const; +---- + +`save` with `std::ostream` argument saves the document to the stream in the same way as `save_file` (i.e. with requested header and with encoding conversions). On the other hand, `save` with `std::wstream` argument saves the document to the wide stream with [link encoding_wchar] encoding. Because of this, using `save` with wide character streams requires careful (usually platform-specific) stream setup (i.e. using the `imbue` function). Generally use of wide streams is discouraged, however it provides you with the ability to save documents to non-Unicode encodings, i.e. you can save Shift-JIS encoded data if you set the correct locale. + +[#xml_writer_stream] +Calling `save` with stream target is equivalent to creating an `xml_writer_stream` object with stream as the only constructor argument and then calling `save`; see <> for writer interface details. + +This is a simple example of saving XML document to standard output (link:samples/save_stream.cpp[]): + +[source,indent=0] +---- +include::samples/save_stream.cpp[tags=code] +---- + +[[saving.writer]] +=== Saving document via writer interface + +[#xml_document::save][#xml_writer][#xml_writer::write] +All of the above saving functions are implemented in terms of writer interface.

By default, no BOM is output, so in case of non UTF-8 encodings the resulting document's encoding may not be recognized by some parsers and text editors, if they do not implement sophisticated encoding detection.

However, the default declaration is not customizable. If you want to customize the declaration output, you need to create the declaration node yourself. + +NOTE: By default the declaration node is not added to the document during parsing. If you just need to preserve the original declaration node, you have to add the flag [link parse_declaration] to the parsing flags; the resulting document will contain the original declaration node, which will be output during saving. + +Declaration node is a node with type [link node_declaration]; it behaves like an element node in that it has attributes with values (but it does not have child nodes). Therefore setting custom version, encoding or standalone declaration involves adding attributes and setting attribute values. + +This is an example that shows how to create a custom declaration node (link:samples/save_declaration.cpp[]): + +[source,indent=0] +---- +include::samples/save_declaration.cpp[tags=code] +---- + +[[xpath]] +== XPath + +If the task at hand is to select a subset of document nodes that match some criteria, it is possible to code a function using the existing traversal functionality for any practical criteria. However, often either a data-driven approach is desirable, in case the criteria are not predefined and come from a file, or it is inconvenient to use traversal interfaces and a higher-level DSL is required. There is a standard language for XML processing, XPath, that can be useful for these cases. pugixml implements an almost complete subset of XPath 1.0. Because of differences in document object model and some performance implications, there are minor violations of the official specifications, which can be found in <>. The rest of this section describes the interface for XPath functionality. Please note that if you wish to learn to use XPath language, you have to look for other tutorials or manuals; for example, you can read http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/[W3Schools XPath tutorial], http://www.tizag.com/xmlTutorial/xpathtutorial.php[XPath tutorial at tizag.com], and http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/[the XPath 1.0 specification]. + +[[xpath.types]] +=== XPath types + +[#xpath_value_type][#xpath_type_number][#xpath_type_string][#xpath_type_boolean][#xpath_type_node_set][#xpath_type_none] +Each XPath expression can have one of the following types: boolean, number, string or node set. Boolean type corresponds to `bool` type, number type corresponds to `double` type, string type corresponds to either `std::string` or `std::wstring`, depending on whether [link manual.dom.unicode wide character interface is enabled], and node set corresponds to [link xpath_node_set] type. There is an enumeration, `xpath_value_type`, which can take the values `xpath_type_boolean`, `xpath_type_number`, `xpath_type_string` or `xpath_type_node_set`, accordingly. + +[#xpath_node][#xpath_node::node][#xpath_node::attribute][#xpath_node::parent] +Because an XPath node can be either a node or an attribute, there is a special type, `xpath_node`, which is a discriminated union of these types. A value of this type contains two node handles, one of `xml_node` type, and another one of `xml_attribute` type; at most one of them can be non-null. The accessors to get these handles are available: + +[source] +---- +xml_node xpath_node::node() const; +xml_attribute xpath_node::attribute() const; +---- + +XPath nodes can be null, in which case both accessors return null handles. + +Note that as per XPath specification, each XPath node has a parent, which can be retrieved via this function: + +[source] +---- +xml_node xpath_node::parent() const; +---- + +`parent` function returns the node's parent if the XPath node corresponds to `xml_node` handle (equivalent to `node().parent()`), or the node to which the attribute belongs to, if the XPath node corresponds to `xml_attribute` handle. For null nodes, `parent` returns null handle. + +[#xpath_node::unspecified_bool_type][#xpath_node::comparison] +Like node and attribute handles, XPath node handles can be implicitly cast to boolean-like object to check if it is a null node, and also can be compared for equality with each other. + +[#xpath_node::ctor] +You can also create XPath nodes with one of the three constructors: the default constructor, the constructor that takes node argument, and the constructor that takes attribute and node arguments (in which case the attribute must belong to the attribute list of the node). The constructor from `xml_node` is implicit, so you can usually pass `xml_node` to functions that expect `xpath_node`. Apart from that you usually don't need to create your own XPath node objects, since they are returned to you via selection functions. + +[#xpath_node_set] +XPath expressions operate not on single nodes, but instead on node sets. A node set is a collection of nodes, which can be optionally ordered in either a forward document order or a reverse one. Document order is defined in XPath specification; an XPath node is before another node in document order if it appears before it in XML representation of the corresponding document. + +[#xpath_node_set::const_iterator][#xpath_node_set::begin][#xpath_node_set::end] +Node sets are represented by `xpath_node_set` object, which has an interface that resembles one of sequential random-access containers. It has an iterator type along with usual begin/past-the-end iterator accessors: + +[source] +---- +typedef const xpath_node* xpath_node_set::const_iterator; +const_iterator xpath_node_set::begin() const; +const_iterator xpath_node_set::end() const; +---- + +[#xpath_node_set::index][#xpath_node_set::size][#xpath_node_set::empty] +And it also can be iterated via indices, just like `std::vector`: + +[source] +---- +const xpath_node& xpath_node_set::operator[](size_t index) const; +size_t xpath_node_set::size() const; +bool xpath_node_set::empty() const; +---- + +All of the above operations have the same semantics as that of `std::vector`: the iterators are random-access, all of the above operations are constant time, and accessing the element at index that is greater or equal than the set size results in undefined behavior. You can use both iterator-based and index-based access for iteration, however the iterator-based one can be faster. + +[#xpath_node_set::type][#xpath_node_set::type_unsorted][#xpath_node_set::type_sorted][#xpath_node_set::type_sorted_reverse][#xpath_node_set::sort] +The order of iteration depends on the order of nodes inside the set; the order can be queried via the following function: + +[source] +---- +enum xpath_node_set::type_t {type_unsorted, type_sorted, type_sorted_reverse}; +type_t xpath_node_set::type() const; +---- + +`type` function returns the current order of nodes; `type_sorted` means that the nodes are in forward document order, `type_sorted_reverse` means that the nodes are in reverse document order, and `type_unsorted` means that neither order is guaranteed (nodes can accidentally be in a sorted order even if `type()` returns `type_unsorted`). If you require a specific order of iteration, you can change it via `sort` function: + +[source] +---- +void xpath_node_set::sort(bool reverse = false); +---- + +Calling `sort` sorts the nodes in either forward or reverse document order, depending on the argument; after this call `type()` will return `type_sorted` or `type_sorted_reverse`. + +[#xpath_node_set::first] +Often the actual iteration is not needed; instead, only the first element in document order is required. For this, a special accessor is provided: + +[source] +---- +xpath_node xpath_node_set::first() const; +---- + +This function returns the first node in forward document order from the set, or null node if the set is empty. Note that while the result of the node does not depend on the order of nodes in the set (i.e. on the result of `type()`), the complexity does - if the set is sorted, the complexity is constant, otherwise it is linear in the number of elements or worse. + +[#xpath_node_set::ctor] +While in the majority of cases the node set is returned by XPath functions, sometimes there is a need to manually construct a node set. For such cases, a constructor is provided which takes an iterator range (`const_iterator` is a typedef for `const xpath_node*`), and an optional type: + +[source] +---- +xpath_node_set::xpath_node_set(const_iterator begin, const_iterator end, type_t type = type_unsorted); +---- + +The constructor copies the specified range and sets the specified type. The objects in the range are not checked in any way; you'll have to ensure that the range contains no duplicates, and that the objects are sorted according to the `type` parameter. Otherwise XPath operations with this set may produce unexpected results. + +[[xpath.select]] +=== Selecting nodes via XPath expression + +[#xml_node::select_node][#xml_node::select_nodes] +If you want to select nodes that match some XPath expression, you can do it with the following functions: + +[source] +---- +xpath_node xml_node::select_node(const char_t* query, xpath_variable_set* variables = 0) const; +xpath_node_set xml_node::select_nodes(const char_t* query, xpath_variable_set* variables = 0) const; +---- + +`select_nodes` function compiles the expression and then executes it with the node as a context node, and returns the resulting node set. `select_node` returns only the first node in document order from the result, and is equivalent to calling `select_nodes(query).first()`. If the XPath expression does not match anything, or the node handle is null, `select_nodes` returns an empty set, and `select_node` returns null XPath node. + +If exception handling is not disabled, both functions throw [link xpath_exception] if the query can not be compiled or if it returns a value with type other than node set; see <> for details. + +[#xml_node::select_node_precomp][#xml_node::select_nodes_precomp] +While compiling expressions is fast, the compilation time can introduce a significant overhead if the same expression is used many times on small subtrees. If you're doing many similar queries, consider compiling them into query objects (see <> for further reference). Once you get a compiled query object, you can pass it to select functions instead of an expression string: + +[source] +---- +xpath_node xml_node::select_node(const xpath_query& query) const; +xpath_node_set xml_node::select_nodes(const xpath_query& query) const; +---- + +If exception handling is not disabled, both functions throw [link xpath_exception] if the query returns a value with type other than node set. + +This is an example of selecting nodes using XPath expressions (link:samples/xpath_select.cpp[]): + +[source,indent=0] +---- +include::samples/xpath_select.cpp[tags=code] +---- + +[[xpath.query]] +=== Using query objects + +[#xpath_query] +When you call `select_nodes` with an expression string as an argument, a query object is created behind the scenes. A query object represents a compiled XPath expression. Query objects can be needed in the following circumstances: + +* You can precompile expressions to query objects to save compilation time if it becomes an issue; +* You can use query objects to evaluate XPath expressions which result in booleans, numbers or strings; +* You can get the type of expression value via query object. + +Query objects correspond to `xpath_query` type. They are immutable and non-copyable: they are bound to the expression at creation time and can not be cloned. If you want to put query objects in a container, allocate them on heap via `new` operator and store pointers to `xpath_query` in the container. + +[#xpath_query::ctor] +You can create a query object with the constructor that takes XPath expression as an argument: + +[source] +---- +explicit xpath_query::xpath_query(const char_t* query, xpath_variable_set* variables = 0); +---- + +[#xpath_query::return_type] +The expression is compiled and the compiled representation is stored in the new query object. If compilation fails, [link xpath_exception] is thrown if exception handling is not disabled (see <> for details). After the query is created, you can query the type of the evaluation result using the following function: + +[source] +---- +xpath_value_type xpath_query::return_type() const; +---- + +[#xpath_query::evaluate_boolean][#xpath_query::evaluate_number][#xpath_query::evaluate_string][#xpath_query::evaluate_node_set][#xpath_query::evaluate_node] +You can evaluate the query using one of the following functions: + +[source] +---- +bool xpath_query::evaluate_boolean(const xpath_node& n) const; +double xpath_query::evaluate_number(const xpath_node& n) const; +string_t xpath_query::evaluate_string(const xpath_node& n) const; +xpath_node_set xpath_query::evaluate_node_set(const xpath_node& n) const; +xpath_node xpath_query::evaluate_node(const xpath_node& n) const; +---- + +All functions take the context node as an argument, compute the expression and return the result, converted to the requested type. According to XPath specification, value of any type can be converted to boolean, number or string value, but no type other than node set can be converted to node set. Because of this, `evaluate_boolean`, `evaluate_number` and `evaluate_string` always return a result, but `evaluate_node_set` and `evaluate_node` result in an error if the return type is not node set (see <>). + +NOTE: Calling `node.select_nodes("query")` is equivalent to calling `xpath_query("query").evaluate_node_set(node)`. Calling `node.select_node("query")` is equivalent to calling `xpath_query("query").evaluate_node(node)`. + +[#xpath_query::evaluate_string_buffer] +Note that `evaluate_string` function returns the STL string; as such, it's not available in [link PUGIXML_NO_STL] mode and also usually allocates memory. There is another string evaluation function: + +[source] +---- +size_t xpath_query::evaluate_string(char_t* buffer, size_t capacity, const xpath_node& n) const; +---- + +This function evaluates the string, and then writes the result to `buffer` (but at most `capacity` characters); then it returns the full size of the result in characters, including the terminating zero. If `capacity` is not 0, the resulting buffer is always zero-terminated. You can use this function as follows: + +* First call the function with `buffer = 0` and `capacity = 0`; then allocate the returned amount of characters, and call the function again, passing the allocated storage and the amount of characters; +* First call the function with small buffer and buffer capacity; then, if the result is larger than the capacity, the output has been trimmed, so allocate a larger buffer and call the function again. + +This is an example of using query objects (link:samples/xpath_query.cpp[]): + +[source,indent=0] +---- +include::samples/xpath_query.cpp[tags=code] +---- + +[[xpath.variables]] +=== Using variables + +XPath queries may contain references to variables; this is useful if you want to use queries that depend on some dynamic parameter without manually preparing the complete query string, or if you want to reuse the same query object for similar queries. + +Variable references have the form '''$name'''; in order to use them, you have to provide a variable set, which includes all variables present in the query with correct types. This set is passed to `xpath_query` constructor or to `select_nodes`/`select_node` functions: + +[source] +---- +explicit xpath_query::xpath_query(const char_t* query, xpath_variable_set* variables = 0); +xpath_node xml_node::select_node(const char_t* query, xpath_variable_set* variables = 0) const; +xpath_node_set xml_node::select_nodes(const char_t* query, xpath_variable_set* variables = 0) const; +---- + +If you're using query objects, you can change the variable values before `evaluate`/`select` calls to change the query behavior. + +NOTE: The variable set pointer is stored in the query object; you have to ensure that the lifetime of the set exceeds that of query object. + +[#xpath_variable_set] +Variable sets correspond to `xpath_variable_set` type, which is essentially a variable container. + +[#xpath_variable_set::add] +You can add new variables with the following function: + +[source] +---- +xpath_variable* xpath_variable_set::add(const char_t* name, xpath_value_type type); +---- + +The function tries to add a new variable with the specified name and type; if the variable with such name does not exist in the set, the function adds a new variable and returns the variable handle; if there is already a variable with the specified name, the function returns the variable handle if variable has the specified type.

If the variable with the same name but with different type is already present, they return `false`; they also return `false` on allocation failure.

Also `xpath_exception` is thrown if the query is evaluated to a node set, but the return type is not node set. If the query constructor succeeds (i.e. no exception is thrown), the query object is valid.

This node corresponds to [link xml_document] class; note that [link xml_document] is a sub-class of [link xml_node], so the entire node interface is also available. However, document node is special in several ways, which are covered below. There can be only one document node in the tree; document node does not have any XML representation. -[lbr] * Element/tag node ([anchor node_element]) - this is the most common type of node, which represents XML elements. Element nodes have a name, a collection of attributes and a collection of child nodes (both of which may be empty). The attribute is a simple name/value pair.

The classes are described below. -[#xml_document] -[#xml_document::document_element] +[[xml_document]][[xml_document::document_element]] `xml_document` is the owner of the entire document structure; it is a non-copyable class. The interface of `xml_document` consists of loading functions (see <>), saving functions (see <>) and the entire interface of `xml_node`, which allows for document inspection and/or modification. Note that while `xml_document` is a sub-class of `xml_node`, `xml_node` is not a polymorphic type; the inheritance is present only to simplify usage.

You can then populate it with data using either tree modification functions or loading functions; all loading functions destroy the previous tree with all occupied memory, which puts existing node/attribute handles for this document to invalid state. If you want to destroy the previous tree, you can use the `xml_document::reset` function; it destroys the tree and replaces it with either an empty one or a copy of the specified document. Destructor of `xml_document` also destroys the tree, thus the lifetime of the document object should exceed the lifetimes of any node/attribute handles that point to the tree. CAUTION: While technically node/attribute handles can be alive when the tree they're referring to is destroyed, calling any member function for these handles results in undefined behavior. Thus it is recommended to make sure that the document is destroyed only after all references to its nodes/attributes are destroyed. -[#xml_node] -[#xml_node::type] -`xml_node` is the handle to document node; it can point to any node in the document, including the document node itself.

It does not correspond to any node in any document, and thus resembles null pointer. However, all operations are defined on empty nodes; generally the operations don't do anything and return empty nodes/attributes or empty strings as their result (see documentation for specific functions for more detailed information). This is useful for chaining calls; i.e. you can get the grandparent of a node like so: `node.parent().parent()`; if a node is a null node or it does not have a parent, the first `parent()` call returns null node; the second `parent()` call then also returns null node, which makes error handling easier. -[#xml_attribute] +[[xml_attribute]] `xml_attribute` is the handle to an XML attribute; it has the same semantics as `xml_node`, i.e. there can be several `xml_attribute` handles pointing to the same underlying object and there is a special null attribute value, which propagates to function results. -[#xml_attribute::ctor] -[#xml_node::ctor] +[[xml_attribute::ctor]][[xml_node::ctor]] Both `xml_node` and `xml_attribute` have the default constructor which initializes them to null objects. -[#xml_attribute::comparison] -[#xml_node::comparison] +[[xml_attribute::comparison]][[xml_node::comparison]] `xml_node` and `xml_attribute` try to behave like pointers, that is, they can be compared with other objects of the same type, making it possible to use them as keys in associative containers.
