myxmlpp (myxml++)

myxmlpp is a simple XML lib in C++ for the sake of the PolymorphEngine project.

It includes a lot of methods to perform actions on each XML node.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/PolymorphEngine/myxmlpp.git
cd myxmlpp
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

Usage (reading)

To load a XML file, you need to create a myxmlpp::Doc object

myxmlpp::Doc doc("path/to/file.xml");

You now have access to the root node of the XML file

myxmlpp::Node root = doc.getRoot();

Node is a class that represents a XML node. It has a lot of methods to perform actions on it. See Developper documentaion for more informations.

Usage (writing)

To create a XML file, you need to create a myxmlpp::Doc object

myxmlpp::Doc doc;

You can create a node (without parent) to put data in it and add it to the document

myxmlpp::Doc doc;
myxmlpp::Node root(nullptr)
root.setTag("Hello world!");
doc.setRoot(root);

You can now add Node and attributes to the root node. Then, to write the XML document to the disk, you have two options.
The first one is to use the myxmlpp::Doc::write method to write the document in a minimalistic way

doc.write("path/to/file.xml");

The second one is to use the myxmlpp::Doc::writeF method to write the document in a pretty way

doc.writeF("path/to/file.xml");

You can also use the myxmlpp::Doc::setFilepath method to not have to pass it in write/writeF method

doc.setFilepath("path/to/file.xml");
doc.write();
//or
doc.writeF();
