Simple library to read, write and traverse XML files.

Usage

This is a simple implementation of XML functions for writing and reading XML files. For writing an XML file from scratch, following functions can be used:

#!c
 
   writer = mxml_open_file(file_name);
     mxml_start_element(writer, name);
     mxml_write_attribute(writer, name, value);
     mxml_write_value(writer, value);
     mxml_end_element(writer); 
     ...
   mxml_close_file(writer);

To read an XML file, the function

#!c
 
   tree = mxml_parse_file(file_name, error, sizeof(error));

is used. It parses the complete XML file and stores it in a hierarchical tree in memory. Nodes in that tree can be searched for with

#!c
 
   mxml_find_node(tree, xml_path);

or

#!c
 
   mxml_find_nodes(tree, xml_path, &nodelist);

which support a subset of the XPath specification. Another set of functions is availabe to retrieve attributes and values from nodes in the tree and for manipulating nodes, like replacing, adding and deleting nodes.
