Reading XML file using TinyXML

[abhishekltil]

hello,

can you please help me in reading this sample xml using tinyxml library.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
 
<Configuration>
    <Parameter name="loglevel" value="3"/>
    <Parameter name="newparam" value="some value"/>
    <Process Name="osis">
        <App ID="1" Name="TATA ADC" LogPath="C:\Projects\TATA\TATA\TATA ADC\Test" SeparatorLine="======">
            <LineFormat Separator="|">
                <LinePart>Timestamp</LinePart>
                <LinePart>InformationType</LinePart>
                <LinePart>Message</LinePart>
            </LineFormat>
            <Block StartKeyword="processing fail"/>
            <Block StartKeyword="processing chain"/>
            <MailRecipient>[e-mail]</MailRecipient>
        </App>
        <App ID="1" Name="TATA Loader" LogPath="C:\Projects\TATA\TATA\TATA Loader\Test" SeparatorLine="---------">

            </LineFormat>
            <Block StartKeyword="processing"/>
            <MailRecipient>[e-mail]</MailRecipient>
            <Alert Level="error"/>
        </App>
    </Process>
    <Process Name="Ation">
        <App ID="1" Name="ADA" LogPath="C:\Progloc\ADA" SeparatorLine="">
            <LineFormat Separator=" ">
                <LinePart>Timestamp</LinePart>
                <LinePart>Message</LinePart>
            </LineFormat>
            <Block StartKeyword="performing"/>

        </App>
    </Process>

    <MailSender>[e-mail]</MailSender>
</Configuration>

I've framed in a bit of code to help you process this file. You have a lot in there, so what I gave you should be enough to get you started. I haven't included much cleanup or error handling, just implemented some basic parsing for you.

The output of the following code will look like this:

test.xml loaded
Parameter: name= 'loglevel', value='3'
Parameter: name= 'newparam', value='some value'

Process: osis
..App: ID=1, name=TATA ADC
..App: ID=1, name=TATA Loader
Process: Ation
..App: ID=1, name=ADA

    // Load the xml file, I put your XML in a file named test.xml
    TiXmlDocument XMLdoc("test.xml");
    bool loadOkay = XMLdoc.LoadFile();
    if (loadOkay)
    {
        cout << "test.xml loaded" << endl;
        TiXmlElement *pRoot, *pParm, *pProcess, *pApp, *pLineFormat;
        pRoot = XMLdoc.FirstChildElement( "Configuration" );
        if ( pRoot )
        {
            // Parse parameters
            pParm = pRoot->FirstChildElement("Parameter");
            while ( pParm )
            {
                cout << "Parameter: name= '" << pParm->Attribute("name") << "', value='" << pParm->Attribute("value") << "'" << endl;
                pParm = pParm->NextSiblingElement( "Parameter" );
            }
 
            cout << endl;
 
            // Parse Process 
            pProcess = pRoot->FirstChildElement("Process" );
            while ( pProcess )
            {
                cout <<"Process: " << pProcess->Attribute("Name" ) << endl;
                pApp = pProcess->FirstChildElement("App" );
                while ( pApp )
                {
                    cout << "..App: ID=" << pApp->Attribute("ID") << ", name=" << pApp->Attribute("Name") << endl;
 
                    // ***************************************************
                    // * TODO: Put code in to handle the App details
                    // ***************************************************
 
                    pApp = pApp->NextSiblingElement("App");
                }
 
                pProcess = pProcess->NextSiblingElement("Process");
            }
        }
        else
        {
            cout << "Cannot find 'Configuration' node" << endl;
        }
 
 

I hope this helps

Hi I have this xml file. I want to parse this . Can anyone help me.
Thanks
Sagar

[Dormilich]

@sagar353
I can offer help with PHP.

[sagar353]

Thanks Dormillich. Actually, I have no experience in PHP. Basically, I want to put all the information in the xml file into a data structure. But I dont know how to do that? Can you help me with some logic.
Sagar

[Dormilich]

@sagar353
you didn’t say anything about what language you wanted to use. PHP is simply one of the languages I’m good at.
@sagar353
what kind of structure, arrays, objects, …?

[sagar353]

Hi Dormilich,
I want to define different classes and objects where I will store the information in a structured way. Thanks
Sagar

[Dormilich]

you mean something like serialization?

one exchangeable serializer is WDDX…

[sagar353]

I dont know what WDDX mean. Since I already organize my XML file, serialization will work probably.
Thanks
Sagar

[Dormilich]

WDDX is a XML based serializer.
