Help!

Does anybody know a simple example how to use xerces
(http://xml.apache.org) with C++ to parse a simple xml file, go from
node to node and read the data in the nodes?

Thanks,

Matthias

I suggest you try the Xerces forums. They probably know alot more that
those answering questions in this NG. This question really is not
on-topic here. Read the FAQ. http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/

BTW - I've used libxml2 http://xmlsoft.org/ . It's simpler than Xerces
IMHO and has a C++ http://libxmlplusplus.sourceforge.net/ - although
it's pretty trivial to roll your own.

Uhm, what about the xerces code samples from ... well ... just the site you
mentioned?

Hi,

probably I was not specific enough.

I try the sample from the xerces homepage
http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/program-dom.html, take the iterator and
step through the tree:

for (DOMNode* pCurrent = iterator->nextNode();pCurrent != 0; pCurrent
= iterator->nextNode())
{
string strValue = XMLString::transcode(pCurrent->getNodeValue());
std::cout << strValue << std::endl;
(...)
}

With that way I can retrieve the values from the tree. Now, how can I
get the element structure? How can I query the attribute?

Thanks,

Matthias

No, you were specific enough. The problem is that how to use Xerces (or
insert your favorite third party library here) is Off Topic for c.l.c++.
You might be better off in comp.text.xml, or on an apache specific forum.
