Traverse the XML Tree

See more XML Examples

Demonstrates how to traverse all nodes in an XML tree.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.77 or greater.

Unicode C++

#include <CkXmlW.h>
#include <CkStringBuilderW.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    //  Use the NextInTraversal2 method to traverse all nodes in the XML tree rooted at the caller.

    CkXmlW xml;

    success = xml.LoadXmlFile(L"qa_data/xml/twoPigs.xml");

    //  This is the XML traversed in this example:

    //    <herd name="Cathy">
    //  	<species name="pot belly pig">
    //  	    <animal>

    //  			<info>Molly came from a place where an old, ill man had too many animals.
    //  	              	The animals were seldom fed and rats would eat the newborn piglets.
    //  	             	 When Molly was found at one week old, she was the only piglet of 
    //  	              	her siblings who did not get stepped on by a cow. She is a sweet, 
    //  	              	friendly pig who likes to hang out on Cathy's porch on the lounge 
    //  	              	pad.
