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.

Mini-XML provides the following functionality:

•   Reading of UTF-8 and UTF-16 and writing of UTF-8 encoded XML files and strings.

•   Data is stored in a linked-list tree structure, preserving the XML data hierarchy.

•   Supports arbitrary element names, attributes, and attribute values with no preset limits, just available memory.

•   Supports integer, real, opaque ("CDATA"), and text data types in "leaf" nodes.

•   Functions for creating, indexing, and managing trees of data.

•   "Find" and "walk" functions for easily locating and navigating trees of data.

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.

USING MINI-XML
Mini-XML provides a single header file which you include:
    #include <mxml.h>

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".

You load an XML file using the "mxmlLoadFile()" function:
    FILE *fp;
    mxml_node_t *tree;
    fp = fopen("filename.xml", "r");
    tree = mxmlLoadFile(NULL, fp, MXML_NO_CALLBACK);
    fclose(fp);

Similarly, you save an XML file using the "mxmlSaveFile()" function:
    FILE *fp;
    mxml_node_t *tree;
    fp = fopen("filename.xml", "w");
    mxmlSaveFile(tree, fp, MXML_NO_CALLBACK);
    fclose(fp);

The "mxmlLoadString()", "mxmlSaveAllocString()", and "mxmlSaveString()" functions load XML node trees from and save XML node trees to strings:
    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);

You can find a named element/node using the "mxmlFindElement()" function:
    mxml_node_t *node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, "name",
                                        "attr", "value",
                                        MXML_DESCEND);

The "name", "attr", and "value" arguments can be passed as NULL to act as wildcards, e.g.:
    /* 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);

You can also iterate with the same function:
    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 ...
    }

To find the value of a specific node in the tree, use the "mxmlFindPath()" function:
    mxml_node_t *value = mxmlFindPath(tree, "path/to/*/foo/bar");

The "mxmlGetInteger()", "mxmlGetOpaque()", "mxmlGetReal()", and "mxmlGetText()" functions retrieve the value from a node:
    mxml_node_t *node;
    int intvalue = mxmlGetInteger(node);
    const char *opaquevalue = mxmlGetOpaque(node);
    double realvalue = mxmlGetReal(node);
    int whitespacevalue;
    const char *textvalue = mxmlGetText(node, &whitespacevalue);

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:
    mxmlDelete(tree);

FUNCTIONS

  mxmlAdd
Add a node to a tree.

void mxmlAdd (
    mxml_node_t *parent,
    int where,
    mxml_node_t *child,
    mxml_node_t *node
);

Adds the specified node to the parent. If the child argument is not NULL, puts the new node before or after the specified child depending on the value of the where argument. If the child argument is NULL, puts the new node at the beginning of the child list (MXML_ADD_BEFORE) or at the end of the child list (MXML_ADD_AFTER). The constant MXML_ADD_TO_PARENT can be used to specify a NULL child pointer.

  mxmlDelete
Delete a node and all of its children.

void mxmlDelete (
    mxml_node_t *node
);

If the specified node has a parent, this function first removes the node from its parent using the mxmlRemove() function.

  mxmlElementDeleteAttr
Delete an attribute.

void mxmlElementDeleteAttr (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    const char *name
);

  mxmlElementGetAttr
Get an attribute.

const char * mxmlElementGetAttr (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    const char *name
);

This function returns NULL if the node is not an element or the named attribute does not exist.

  mxmlElementSetAttr
Set an attribute.

void mxmlElementSetAttr (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    const char *name,
    const char *value
);

If the named attribute already exists, the value of the attribute is replaced by the new string value. The string value is copied into the element node. This function does nothing if the node is not an element.

  mxmlElementSetAttrf
Set an attribute with a formatted value.

void mxmlElementSetAttrf (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    const char *name,
    const char *format,
    ...
);

If the named attribute already exists, the value of the attribute is replaced by the new formatted string. The formatted string value is copied into the element node. This function does nothing if the node is not an element.

  mxmlEntityAddCallback
Add a callback to convert entities to Unicode.

int  mxmlEntityAddCallback (
    mxml_entity_cb_t cb
);

  mxmlEntityGetName
Get the name that corresponds to the character value.

const char * mxmlEntityGetName (
    int val
);

If val does not need to be represented by a named entity, NULL is returned.

  mxmlEntityGetValue
Get the character corresponding to a named entity.

int  mxmlEntityGetValue (
    const char *name
);

The entity name can also be a numeric constant. -1 is returned if the name is not known.

  mxmlEntityRemoveCallback
Remove a callback.

void mxmlEntityRemoveCallback (
    mxml_entity_cb_t cb
);

  mxmlFindElement
Find the named element.

mxml_node_t * mxmlFindElement (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    mxml_node_t *top,
    const char *name,
    const char *attr,
    const char *value,
    int descend
);

The search is constrained by the name, attribute name, and value; any NULL 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. The descend argument determines whether the search descends into child nodes; normally you will use MXML_DESCEND_FIRST for the initial search and MXML_NO_DESCEND to find additional direct descendents of the node. The top node argument constrains the search to a particular node's children.

  mxmlFindPath
Find a node with the given path.

mxml_node_t * mxmlFindPath (
    mxml_node_t *top,
    const char *path
);

The "path" is a slash-separated list of element names. The name "*" is considered a wildcard for one or more levels of elements. For example, "foo/one/two", "bar/two/one", "*/one", and so forth.

The first child node of the found node is returned if the given node has children and the first child is a value node.

  mxmlGetCDATA

);

NULL is returned if the node is not an element node or if the node has no children.

  mxmlGetInteger
Get the integer value from the specified node or its first child.

int  mxmlGetInteger (
    mxml_node_t *node
);

0 is returned if the node (or its first child) is not an integer value node.

  mxmlGetLastChild
Get the last child of an element node.

mxml_node_t * mxmlGetLastChild (
    mxml_node_t *node
);

NULL is returned if the node is not an element node or if the node has no children.

  mxmlGetNextSibling
Return the node type...

mxml_node_t * mxmlGetNextSibling (
    mxml_node_t *node
);

  mxmlGetOpaque
Get an opaque string value for a node or its first child.

const char * mxmlGetOpaque (
    mxml_node_t *node
);

NULL is returned if the node (or its first child) is not an opaque value node.

  mxmlGetParent
Get the parent node.

mxml_node_t * mxmlGetParent (
    mxml_node_t *node
);

NULL is returned for a root node.

  mxmlGetPrevSibling
Get the previous node for the current parent.

mxml_node_t * mxmlGetPrevSibling (
    mxml_node_t *node
);

NULL is returned if this is the first child for the current parent.

  mxmlGetReal
Get the real value for a node or its first child.

double  mxmlGetReal (
    mxml_node_t *node
);

0.0 is returned if the node (or its first child) is not a real value node.

  mxmlGetRefCount
Get the current reference (use) count for a node.

int  mxmlGetRefCount (
    mxml_node_t *node
);

The initial reference count of new nodes is 1. Use the mxmlRetain and mxmlRelease functions to increment and decrement a node's reference count. .

  mxmlGetText
Get the text value for a node or its first child.

const char * mxmlGetText (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    int *whitespace
);

NULL is returned if the node (or its first child) is not a text node. The "whitespace" argument can be NULL.

  mxmlGetType
Get the node type.

mxml_type_t  mxmlGetType (
    mxml_node_t *node
);

MXML_IGNORE is returned if "node" is NULL.

  mxmlGetUserData
Get the user data pointer for a node.

void * mxmlGetUserData (
    mxml_node_t *node
);

  mxmlIndexDelete
Delete an index.

void mxmlIndexDelete (
    mxml_index_t *ind
);

  mxmlIndexEnum
Return the next node in the index.

mxml_node_t * mxmlIndexEnum (
    mxml_index_t *ind
);

Nodes are returned in the sorted order of the index.

  mxmlIndexFind
Find the next matching node.

mxml_node_t * mxmlIndexFind (
    mxml_index_t *ind,
    const char *element,
    const char *value
);

You should call mxmlIndexReset() prior to using this function for the first time with a particular set of "element" and "value" strings. Passing NULL for both "element" and "value" is equivalent to calling mxmlIndexEnum().

  mxmlIndexGetCount
Get the number of nodes in an index.

int  mxmlIndexGetCount (
    mxml_index_t *ind
);

  mxmlIndexNew
Create a new index.

mxml_index_t * mxmlIndexNew (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    const char *element,
    const char *attr
);

The index will contain all nodes that contain the named element and/or attribute. If both "element" and "attr" are NULL, then the index will contain a sorted list of the elements in the node tree. Nodes are sorted by element name and optionally by attribute value if the "attr" argument is not NULL.

  mxmlIndexReset
Reset the enumeration/find pointer in the index and return the first node in the index.

mxml_node_t * mxmlIndexReset (
    mxml_index_t *ind
);

This function should be called prior to using mxmlIndexEnum() or mxmlIndexFind() for the first time.

    mxml_node_t *node
);

  mxmlSAXLoadFd

The callback function returns the value type that should be used for child nodes. If MXML_NO_CALLBACK is specified then all child nodes will be either MXML_ELEMENT or MXML_TEXT nodes.

The constants MXML_INTEGER_CALLBACK, MXML_OPAQUE_CALLBACK, MXML_REAL_CALLBACK, and MXML_TEXT_CALLBACK are defined for loading child nodes of the specified type.

The SAX callback must call mxmlRetain() for any nodes that need to be kept for later use. Otherwise, nodes are deleted when the parent node is closed or after each data, comment, CDATA, or directive node.

  mxmlSAXLoadFile
Load a file into an XML node tree using a SAX callback.

mxml_node_t * mxmlSAXLoadFile (
    mxml_node_t *top,

The constants MXML_INTEGER_CALLBACK, MXML_OPAQUE_CALLBACK, MXML_REAL_CALLBACK, and MXML_TEXT_CALLBACK are defined for loading child nodes of the specified type.

The SAX callback must call mxmlRetain() for any nodes that need to be kept for later use. Otherwise, nodes are deleted when the parent node is closed or after each data, comment, CDATA, or directive node.

  mxmlSaveAllocString
Save an XML tree to an allocated string.

char * mxmlSaveAllocString (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    mxml_save_cb_t cb
);

This function returns a pointer to a string containing the textual representation of the XML node tree. The string should be freed using the free() function when you are done with it. NULL is returned if the node would produce an empty string or if the string cannot be allocated.

The callback argument specifies a function that returns a whitespace string or NULL before and after each element. If MXML_NO_CALLBACK is specified, whitespace will only be added before MXML_TEXT nodes with leading whitespace and before attribute names inside opening element tags.

  mxmlSaveFd
Save an XML tree to a file descriptor.

int  mxmlSaveFd (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    int fd,
    mxml_save_cb_t cb
);

The callback argument specifies a function that returns a whitespace string or NULL before and after each element. If MXML_NO_CALLBACK is specified, whitespace will only be added before MXML_TEXT nodes with leading whitespace and before attribute names inside opening element tags.

  mxmlSaveFile
Save an XML tree to a file.

int  mxmlSaveFile (

int  mxmlSaveString (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    char *buffer,
    int bufsize,
    mxml_save_cb_t cb
);

This function returns the total number of bytes that would be required for the string but only copies (bufsize - 1) characters into the specified buffer.

The callback argument specifies a function that returns a whitespace string or NULL before and after each element. If MXML_NO_CALLBACK is specified, whitespace will only be added before MXML_TEXT nodes with leading whitespace and before attribute names inside opening element tags.

  mxmlSetCDATA
Set the element name of a CDATA node.

int  mxmlSetCDATA (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    const char *data
);

The node is not changed if it (or its first child) is not a CDATA element node.

  mxmlSetCustom
Set the data and destructor of a custom data node.

int  mxmlSetCustom (
    mxml_node_t *node,

The save function accepts a node pointer and must return a malloc'd string on success and NULL on error.

  mxmlSetElement
Set the name of an element node.

int  mxmlSetElement (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    const char *name
);

The node is not changed if it is not an element node.

  mxmlSetErrorCallback
Set the error message callback.

void mxmlSetErrorCallback (
    mxml_error_cb_t cb
);

  mxmlSetInteger
Set the value of an integer node.

int  mxmlSetInteger (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    int integer
);

The node is not changed if it (or its first child) is not an integer node.

  mxmlSetOpaque
Set the value of an opaque node.

int  mxmlSetOpaque (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    const char *opaque
);

The node is not changed if it (or its first child) is not an opaque node.

  mxmlSetReal
Set the value of a real number node.

int  mxmlSetReal (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    double real
);

The node is not changed if it (or its first child) is not a real number node.

  mxmlSetText
Set the value of a text node.

int  mxmlSetText (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    int whitespace,
    const char *string
);

The node is not changed if it (or its first child) is not a text node.

  mxmlSetTextf
Set the value of a text node to a formatted string.

int  mxmlSetTextf (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    int whitespace,
    const char *format,
    ...
);

The node is not changed if it (or its first child) is not a text node.

  mxmlSetUserData
Set the user data pointer for a node.

int  mxmlSetUserData (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    void *data
);

  mxmlSetWrapMargin
Set the wrap margin when saving XML data.

void mxmlSetWrapMargin (
    int column
);

Wrapping is disabled when "column" is 0.

  mxmlWalkNext
Walk to the next logical node in the tree.

mxml_node_t * mxmlWalkNext (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    mxml_node_t *top,
    int descend
);

The descend argument controls whether the first child is considered to be the next node. The top node argument constrains the walk to the node's children.

  mxmlWalkPrev
Walk to the previous logical node in the tree.

mxml_node_t * mxmlWalkPrev (
    mxml_node_t *node,
    mxml_node_t *top,
    int descend
);

The descend argument controls whether the previous node's last child is considered to be the previous node. The top node argument constrains the walk to the node's children.
