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>

    // Examine the new XML document:
    wprintf(L"%s\n",CkXmlW_getXml(xml));

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