Getting the compilation options and libraries dependancies needed
to generate binaries from the examples is best done on Linux/Unix by using
the xml2-config script which should have been installed as part of make
install step or when installing the libxml2 development package: gcc -o example `xml2-config --cflags` example.c `xml2-config --libs` InputOutput Examplesio1.c: Example of custom Input/OutputDemonstrate the use of xmlRegisterInputCallbacks to build a custom I/O layer, this is used in an XInclude method context to show how dynamic document can be built in a clean way. Includes: Uses: Usage: io1 Author: Daniel Veillard io2.c: Output to char bufferDemonstrate the use of xmlDocDumpMemory to output document to a character buffer Includes: Uses: Usage: io2 Author: John Fleck Parsing Examplesparse3.c: Parse an XML document in memory to a tree and free itDemonstrate the use of xmlReadMemory() to read an XML file into a tree and and xmlFreeDoc() to free the resulting tree Includes: Uses: Usage: parse3 Author: Daniel Veillard parse4.c: Parse an XML document chunk by chunk to a tree and free itDemonstrate the use of xmlCreatePushParserCtxt() and xmlParseChunk() to read an XML file progressively into a tree and and xmlFreeDoc() to free the resulting tree Includes: Uses: Usage: parse4 test3.xml Author: Daniel Veillard parse2.c: Parse and validate an XML file to a tree and free the resultCreate a parser context for an XML file, then parse and validate the file, creating a tree, check the validation result and xmlFreeDoc() to free the resulting tree. Includes: Uses: Usage: parse2 test2.xml Author: Daniel Veillard parse1.c: Parse an XML file to a tree and free itDemonstrate the use of xmlReadFile() to read an XML file into a tree and and xmlFreeDoc() to free the resulting tree Includes: Uses: Usage: parse1 test1.xml Author: Daniel Veillard Tree Examplestree2.c: Creates a treeShows how to create document, nodes and dump it to stdout or file. Includes: Uses: Usage: tree2 <filename> -Default output: stdout Author: Lucas Brasilino <brasilino@recife.pe.gov.br> tree1.c: Navigates a tree to print element namesParse a file to a tree, use xmlDocGetRootElement() to get the root element, then walk the document and print all the element name in document order. Includes: Uses: Usage: tree1 filename_or_URL Author: Dodji Seketeli XPath Examplesxpath1.c: Evaluate XPath expression and prints result node set.Shows how to evaluate XPath expression and register known namespaces in XPath context. Includes: Uses: Usage: xpath1 <xml-file> <xpath-expr> [<known-ns-list>] Author: Aleksey Sanin xpath2.c: Load a document, locate subelements with XPath, modify said elements and save the resulting document.Shows how to make a full round-trip from a load/edit/save Includes: Uses: Usage: xpath2 <xml-file> <xpath-expr> <new-value> Author: Aleksey Sanin and Daniel Veillard xmlReader Examplesreader2.c: Parse and validate an XML file with an xmlReaderDemonstrate the use of xmlReaderForFile() to parse an XML file validating the content in the process and activating options like entities substitution, and DTD attributes defaulting. (Note that the XMLReader functions require libxml2 version later than 2.6.) Includes: Uses: Usage: reader2 <valid_xml_filename> Author: Daniel Veillard reader1.c: Parse an XML file with an xmlReaderDemonstrate the use of xmlReaderForFile() to parse an XML file and dump the informations about the nodes found in the process. (Note that the XMLReader functions require libxml2 version later than 2.6.) Includes: Uses: Usage: reader1 <filename> Author: Daniel Veillard reader3.c: Show how to extract subdocuments with xmlReaderDemonstrate the use of xmlTextReaderPreservePattern() to parse an XML file with the xmlReader while collecting only some subparts of the document. (Note that the XMLReader functions require libxml2 version later than 2.6.) Includes: Uses: Usage: reader3 Author: Daniel Veillard reader4.c: Parse multiple XML files reusing an xmlReaderDemonstrate the use of xmlReaderForFile() and xmlReaderNewFile to parse XML files while reusing the reader object and parser context. (Note that the XMLReader functions require libxml2 version later than 2.6.) Includes: Uses: Usage: reader4 <filename> [ filename ... ] Author: Graham Bennett xmlWriter ExamplestestWriter.c: use various APIs for the xmlWritertests a number of APIs for the xmlWriter, especially the various methods to write to a filename, to a memory buffer, to a new document, or to a subtree. It shows how to do encoding string conversions too. The resulting documents are then serialized. Includes: Uses: Usage: testWriter Author: Alfred Mickautsch Daniel Veillard |
