(Lianja) Compress XML Tree

Demonstrates how to compress and restore the entire subtree rooted at an XML node.

The input XML, available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/compress2.xml, is this:

<root>
    <lazydog>
        <fox>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</fox>
    </lazydog>
    <fox>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</fox>
    <child>
        <grandchild>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</grandchild>
    </child>
    <child>
        <grandchild>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</grandchild>
    </child>
</root>

loXml = createobject("CkXml")

// The sample input XML is available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/compress2.xml
llSuccess = loXml.LoadXmlFile("compress2.xml")
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loXml.LastErrorText
    release loXml
    return
endif

// Zip compress the root node's entire subtree:
llSuccess = loXml.ZipTree()

// Examine the new XML document:
? loXml.GetXml()

// This is the XML w/ the compressed subtree in Base64 encoded format:

// <root><![CDATA[4+WyKcrPL7Hj5VIAApucxKrKlPx0KBcslJZfYReSkapQWJqZnK2QVJRfnqcAFFPIKs0tKFbIL0st
// UigBSoN0KgC12uiDNECN00c1jyKzkjMyc1KQHZZelJiXAhElyUwkfTBnovDoYZGNPjTUAQ==
// ]]></root>

// Now uncompress and show that the original subtree was restored:
llSuccess = loXml.UnzipTree()
? loXml.GetXml()


release loXml
