Compress XML Tree

See more XML Examples

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>

        ProcedureReturn

    ; Zip compress the root node's entire subtree:
    success = CkXml::ckZipTree(xml)

    ; Examine the new XML document:
    Debug CkXml::ckGetXml(xml)

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

    ; <root><![CDATA[4+WyKcrPL7Hj5VIAApucxKrKlPx0KBcslJZfYReSkapQWJqZnK2QVJRfnqcAFFPIKs0tKFbIL0st

    ; ]]></root>

    ; Now uncompress and show that the original subtree was restored:
    success = CkXml::ckUnzipTree(xml)
    Debug CkXml::ckGetXml(xml)


    CkXml::ckDispose(xml)
