Hi. I'm new to this list (just subscribed today) and searched the
archives on expat, but it failed to answer my question.
My question is: where is the documentation on how to use the expat
API? I downloaded version 1.0.2 and ported the code to run the sample
program on my Macintosh, but I'm pretty much dead in the water. I
tried sending email to the author (James Clark) twice in the last few
days, but I have so far failed to receive a response. The comments in
the header files do not seem to be sufficient.
What I am trying to do is parse some well-formed XML such as the
following example so that I can get the tags (which the example shows
me how to do) and then obtain the text.
-----
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<DATAFILE>
<FOO ID="12345678">
<NAME>cat</NAME>
<TYPE>gray</TYPE>
</FOO>
</DATAFILE>
-----
For example, I would like to be able to obtain the <FOO> TAG as well
as the FOO ID (12345678), then the <NAME> tag along with the enclosed
text (cat) then the <TYPE> tag along with its enclosed text (gray).
However, the sample program only shows how to retrieve the tags.
If anyone has some example code, I would be grateful. If someone has
documentation, that would be appreciated as well.
