Extract SignatureValue from Signed XML

See more XML Digital Signatures Examples

Demonstrates how to extract the signature value from signed XML. Go

    success := false

    // This example will work with the following signed XML, which as been reformatted for readability.

    filePath := "qa_data/xml_dsig_testing/sample_to_show_how_to_extract_sig.xml"

    // If you know there will only be a single SignatureValue in the XML, you don't need to parse XML.
    // Just do quick and simple string search..
    // For example:
    sb := chilkat.NewStringBuilder()
    success = sb.LoadFile(filePath,"utf-8")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println("Failed to load file.")
        sb.DisposeStringBuilder()
        return
    }

    base64Sig := sb.GetBetween("SignatureValue>","</")
    fmt.Println("base64Sig = ", *base64Sig)

    // -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // If the XML might contain multiple signatures, but the signatures will always be located in the 
    // same place, then you can (beforehand) copy a sample signed XML into Chilkat's online tool
    // at Generate Parsing Code from XML
    // to get the path to the SignatureValue.  For example, the line of code generated for the SignatureValue
    // for the above XML is:
    // string ds_SignatureValue = xml.GetChildContent("SOAP-ENV:Header|wsse:Security|ds:Signature|ds:SignatureValue");

    // So you can simply use that path..
    xml := chilkat.NewXml()
    success = xml.LoadXmlFile(filePath)
    // Assume success..

    base64Sig = xml.GetChildContent("SOAP-ENV:Header|wsse:Security|ds:Signature|ds:SignatureValue")
    fmt.Println("base64Sig = ", *base64Sig)

    // -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Or perhaps you don't know where the signature is located in the XML.
    // You can search for the tag..
    xSigVal := xml.SearchForTag(xml,"*:SignatureValue")
    if xml.LastMethodSuccess() == true {
        fmt.Println("base64Sig = ", xSigVal.Content())
        xSigVal.DisposeXml()
    } else {
        fmt.Println("No SignatureValue found.")
    }
