+ It is common to store data as text contents of some node - i.e. <node><description>This is a node</description></node>. + In this case, <description> node does not have a value, but instead + has a child of type node_pcdata with value + "This is a node". pugixml + provides a special class, xml_text, + to work with such data. Working with text objects to modify data is described + in the documentation for modifying document + data; this section describes the access interface of xml_text. +

+

+ You can get the text object from a node by using text() method: +

+
xml_text xml_node::text() const;
+
+

+ If the node has a type node_pcdata + or node_cdata, then the node + itself is used to return data; otherwise, a first child node of type node_pcdata or node_cdata + is used. +

+

+ You can check if the text object is bound to a valid PCDATA/CDATA node by + using it as a boolean value, i.e. if + (text) { ... + } or if + (!text) { ... + }. Alternatively you can check it + by using the empty() + method: +

+
bool xml_text::empty() const;
+
+

+ Given a text object, you can get the contents (i.e. the value of PCDATA/CDATA + node) by using the following function: +

+
const char_t* xml_text::get() const;
+
+

+ In case text object is empty, the function returns an empty string - it never + returns a null pointer. +

+

+ If you need a non-empty string if the text object is empty, or if the text + contents is actually a number or a boolean that is stored as a string, you + can use the following accessors: +

+
const char_t* xml_text::as_string(const char_t* def = "") const;
+int xml_text::as_int(int def = 0) const;
+unsigned int xml_text::as_uint(unsigned int def = 0) const;
+double xml_text::as_double(double def = 0) const;
+float xml_text::as_float(float def = 0) const;
+bool xml_text::as_bool(bool def = false) const;
+
+

+ All of the above functions have the same semantics as similar xml_attribute members: they return the + default argument if the text object is empty, they convert the text contents + to a target type using the same rules and restrictions. You can refer + to documentation for the attribute functions for details. +

+

+ xml_text is essentially a + helper class that operates on xml_node + values. It is bound to a node of type node_pcdata + or [node_cdata]. You can use the following function to retrieve this node: +

+
xml_node xml_text::data() const;
+
+

+ Essentially, assuming text + is an xml_text object, callling + text.get() is + equivalent to calling text.data().value(). +

+

+ This is an example of using xml_text + object (samples/text.cpp): +

+

+ +

+

    + 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. +

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 PUGIXML_NO_XPATH define + to improve compilation time. +

    + pugixml provides a special class, xml_text, + to work with text contents stored as a value of some node, i.e. <node><description>This is a node</description></node>. + Working with text objects to retrieve data is described in the + documentation for accessing document data; this section describes + the modification interface of xml_text. +

    +

    + Once you have an xml_text + object, you can set the text contents using the following function: +

    +
    bool xml_text::set(const char_t* rhs);
+
    +

    + This function tries to set the contents to the specified string, and returns + the operation result. The operation fails if the text object was retrieved + from a node that can not have a value and that is not an element node (i.e. + it is a node_declaration node), if + the text object is empty, or if there is insufficient memory to handle the + request. The provided string is copied into document managed memory and can + be destroyed after the function returns (for example, you can safely pass + stack-allocated buffers to this function). Note that if the text object was + retrieved from an element node, this function creates the PCDATA child node + if necessary (i.e. if the element node does not have a PCDATA/CDATA child + already). +

    +

    + In addition to a string function, several functions are provided for handling + text with numbers and booleans as contents: +

    +
    bool xml_text::set(int rhs);
+bool xml_text::set(unsigned int rhs);
+bool xml_text::set(double rhs);
+bool xml_text::set(bool rhs);
+
    +

    + The above functions convert the argument to string and then call the base + set function. These functions + have the same semantics as similar xml_attribute + functions. You can refer to documentation + for the attribute functions for details. +

    +

    + For convenience, all set + functions have the corresponding assignment operators: +

    +
    xml_text& xml_text::operator=(const char_t* rhs);
+xml_text& xml_text::operator=(int rhs);
+xml_text& xml_text::operator=(unsigned int rhs);
+xml_text& xml_text::operator=(double rhs);
+xml_text& xml_text::operator=(bool rhs);
+
    +

    + These operators simply call the right set + function and return the attribute they're called on; the return value of + set is ignored, so errors + are ignored. +

    +

    + This is an example of using xml_text + object to modify text contents (samples/text.cpp): +

    +

    + +

    +
    // change project version
+project.child("version").text() = 1.2;
+
+// add description element and set the contents
+// note that we do not have to explicitly add the node_pcdata child

    pugixml features an extensive interface for getting various types of data from the document and for traversing the document. You can use various accessors to get node/attribute data, you can traverse the child node/attribute lists via accessors or iterators, you can do depth-first traversals with xml_tree_walker objects, and you can use XPath for complex data-driven queries. -

    You can get node or attribute name via name() accessor, and value via value() accessor. Note that both functions never return null pointers - they either return a string with the relevant content, or an empty string if name/value is absent or if the handle is null. Also there are two notable things for reading values: -

      • It is common to store data as text contents of some node - i.e. <node><description>This is a node</description></node>.
