Methods for Getting Attributes

See more XML Examples

Demonstrates some methods for getting attribute name/values.

The input XML, available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml, is this:

<root>
    <car color="black" make="mercedes" model="C350" hp="302" engine="v6" type="sedan">Mercedes Benz C350</car>
</root>

C++

#include <CkXml.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    CkXml xml;
    CkXml *carNode = 0;
    int numAttr;
    int horsepower;
    int i;

    // The sample input XML is available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml
    success = xml.LoadXmlFile("car.xml");
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << xml.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Navigate to the "car" node, which is the 1st child:
    carNode = xml.FirstChild();

    // Get the value of the "model" attribute:
    std::cout << "model = " << carNode->getAttrValue("model") << "\r\n";

    // Get the value of the "hp" attribute as an integer:
    horsepower = carNode->GetAttrValueInt("hp");
    std::cout << "horsepower = " << horsepower << "\r\n";

    // Iterate over the attributes and show the name/value of each:
    numAttr = carNode->get_NumAttributes();

    i = 0;
    while (i < numAttr) {
        std::cout << carNode->getAttributeName(i) << ": " << carNode->getAttributeValue(i) << "\r\n";
        i = i + 1;
    }

    delete carNode;
    }
