.SH DESCRIPTION
Mini-XML is a small XML parsing library that you can use to
read XML and XML-like data files in your application without
requiring large non-standard libraries.  Mini-XML only
requires an ANSI C compatible compiler (GCC works, as do
most vendors' ANSI C compilers) and a "make" program.
.PP
Mini-XML provides the following functionality:
.IP \(bu 4
Reading of UTF-8 and UTF-16 and writing of UTF-8 encoded XML files and strings.
.IP \(bu 4
Data is stored in a linked-list tree structure,
preserving the XML data hierarchy.
.IP \(bu 4
Supports arbitrary element names, attributes, and attribute
values with no preset limits, just available memory.
.IP \(bu 4
Supports integer, real, opaque ("CDATA"), and text data types in
"leaf" nodes.
.IP \(bu 4
Functions for creating, indexing, and managing trees of data.
.IP \(bu 4
"Find" and "walk" functions for easily locating and navigating
trees of data.
.PP
Mini-XML doesn't do validation or other types of processing
on the data based upon schema files or other sources of
definition information, nor does it support character
entities other than those required by the XML
specification.
.SH USING MINI-XML
Mini-XML provides a single header file which you include:
.nf

    #include <mxml.h>
.fi
.PP
Nodes are defined by the "mxml_node_t" structure; the "type"
member defines the node type (element, integer, opaque,
real, or text) which determines which value you want to look
at in the "value" union.  New nodes can be created using the
"mxmlNewElement()", "mxmlNewInteger()", "mxmlNewOpaque()",
"mxmlNewReal()", and "mxmlNewText()" functions.  Only
elements can have child nodes, and the top node must be an
element, usually "?xml".
.PP
You load an XML file using the "mxmlLoadFile()" function:
.nf

    FILE *fp;
    mxml_node_t *tree;

    fp = fopen("filename.xml", "r");
    tree = mxmlLoadFile(NULL, fp, MXML_NO_CALLBACK);
    fclose(fp);
.fi
.PP
Similarly, you save an XML file using the "mxmlSaveFile()"
function:
.nf

    FILE *fp;
    mxml_node_t *tree;

    fp = fopen("filename.xml", "w");
    mxmlSaveFile(tree, fp, MXML_NO_CALLBACK);
    fclose(fp);
.fi
.PP
The "mxmlLoadString()", "mxmlSaveAllocString()", and
"mxmlSaveString()" functions load XML node trees from and save
XML node trees to strings:
.nf

    char buffer[8192];
    char *ptr;
    mxml_node_t *tree;

    ...
    tree = mxmlLoadString(NULL, buffer, MXML_NO_CALLBACK);

    ...
    mxmlSaveString(tree, buffer, sizeof(buffer),
                   MXML_NO_CALLBACK);

    ...
    ptr = mxmlSaveAllocString(tree, MXML_NO_CALLBACK);
.fi
.PP
You can find a named element/node using the "mxmlFindElement()"
function:
.nf

    mxml_node_t *node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, "name",
                                        "attr", "value",
                                        MXML_DESCEND);
.fi
.PP
The "name", "attr", and "value" arguments can be passed as
NULL to act as wildcards, e.g.:
.nf

    /* Find the first "a" element */
    node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, "a", NULL, NULL,
                           MXML_DESCEND);

    /* Find the first "a" element with "href" attribute */
    node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, "a", "href", NULL,
                           MXML_DESCEND);

    /* Find the first "a" element with "href" to a URL */
    node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, "a", "href",
                           "http://www.easysw.com/~mike/mxml/",
                           MXML_DESCEND);

    /* Find the first element with a "src" attribute*/
    node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, NULL, "src", NULL,
                           MXML_DESCEND);

    /* Find the first element with a "src" = "foo.jpg" */
    node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, NULL, "src",
                           "foo.jpg", MXML_DESCEND);
.fi
.PP
You can also iterate with the same function:
.nf

    mxml_node_t *node;

    for (node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, "name", NULL,
                                NULL, MXML_DESCEND);
         node != NULL;
         node = mxmlFindElement(node, tree, "name", NULL,
                                NULL, MXML_DESCEND))
    {
      ... do something ...
    }
.fi
.PP
To find the value of a specific node in the tree, use the "mxmlFindPath()"
function:
.nf

    mxml_node_t *value = mxmlFindPath(tree, "path/to/*/foo/bar");
.fi
.PP
The "mxmlGetInteger()", "mxmlGetOpaque()", "mxmlGetReal()", and "mxmlGetText()"
functions retrieve the value from a node:
.nf

    mxml_node_t *node;

    long intvalue = mxmlGetInteger(node);

    const char *opaquevalue = mxmlGetOpaque(node);

    double realvalue = mxmlGetReal(node);

    bool whitespacevalue;
    const char *textvalue = mxmlGetText(node, &whitespacevalue);
.fi
.PP
Finally, once you are done with the XML data, use the
"mxmlDelete()" function to recursively free the memory that
is used for a particular node or the entire tree:
.nf

    mxmlDelete(tree);

attribute is replaced by the new formatted string value.
.SS mxmlFindElement
Find the named element.
.PP
.nf
mxml_node_t * mxmlFindElement (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    mxml_node_t *top,
    const char *element,
    const char *attr,
    const char *value,
    mxml_descend_t descend
);
.fi
.PP
This function finds the named element \fBelement\fR in XML tree \fBtop\fR starting at
node \fBnode\fR.  The search is constrained by element name \fBelement\fR, attribute
name \fBattr\fR, and attribute value \fBvalue\fR - \fBNULL\fR names or values are treated
as wildcards, so different kinds of searches can be implemented by looking
for all elements of a given name or all elements with a specific attribute.
.PP
The \fBdescend\fR argument determines whether the search descends into child
nodes; normally you will use \fBMXML_DESCEND_FIRST\fR for the initial search and
\fBMXML_DESCEND_NONE\fR to find additional direct descendents of the node.
.SS mxmlFindPath

.PP
Note: Text nodes consist of whitespace-delimited words. You will only get
single words of text when reading an XML file with \fBMXML_TYPE_TEXT\fR nodes.
If you want the entire string between elements in the XML file, you MUST read
the XML file with \fBMXML_TYPE_OPAQUE\fR nodes and get the resulting strings
using the \fImxmlGetOpaque\fR function instead.

\fImxmlLoadIO\fR, \fImxmlLoadString\fR, \fImxmlSaveAllocString\fR,
\fImxmlSaveFd\fR, \fImxmlSaveFile\fR, \fImxmlSaveFilename\fR,
\fImxmlSaveIO\fR, and \fImxmlSaveString\fR functions.  Options can be
reused for multiple calls to these functions and should be freed using the
\fImxmlOptionsDelete\fR function.
.PP
The default load/save options load values using the constant type
\fBMXML_TYPE_TEXT\fR and save XML data with a wrap margin of 72 columns.
The various \fBmxmlOptionsSet\fR functions are used to change the defaults,
for example:

    mxml_options_t *options = mxmlOptionsNew();
    
    /* Load values as opaque strings */
    mxmlOptionsSetTypeValue(options, MXML_TYPE_OPAQUE);

.fi

Note: The most common programming error when using the Mini-XML library is
to load an XML file using the \fBMXML_TYPE_TEXT\fR node type, which returns
inline text as a series of whitespace-delimited words, instead of using the
\fBMXML_TYPE_OPAQUE\fR node type which returns the inline text as a single string
(including whitespace).

.PP
This function sets the callback that is used to lookup named XML character
entities when loading XML data.  The callback function \fBcb\fR accepts the
callback data pointer \fBcbdata\fR and the entity name.  The function returns a
Unicode character value or \fB-1\fR if the entity is not known.  For example, the
following entity callback supports the "euro" entity:

.PP
This function sets a SAX callback to use when reading XML data.  The SAX
callback function \fBcb\fR and associated callback data \fBcbdata\fR are used to
enable the Simple API for XML streaming mode.  The callback is called as the
XML node tree is parsed and receives the \fBcbdata\fR pointer, the \fBmxml_node_t\fR
pointer, and an event code.  The function returns \fBtrue\fR to continue
processing or \fBfalse\fR to stop:
.PP

    - `MXML_SAX_EVENT_ELEMENT_CLOSE` - A close element was just read (`</element>`)
    - `MXML_SAX_EVENT_ELEMENT_OPEN` - An open element was just read (`<element>`)
    
    Elements are *released* after the close element is processed.  All other nodes
    are released after they are processed.  The SAX callback can *retain* the node
    using the [mxmlRetain](@@) function.
