#55 A const version of TiXmlHandle

I second this feature request, const-casting around this is ugly and not the safest thing to do.

I would appreciate constructive feedback on this issue so that further improvements can be achieved.

Errors tinyxml building project

Anonymous — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 11:34:09 -0000

Hi, I'm starting with c++ and with tinyxml. Now I'm obtainning an errors that I don't know how to solve. I've added the .h files to the project (following this link). The tinyxml functions are accepted on my main () [I'm practising how to use it] . I've made a little program that receives a xml and should show me it's structure, but when I'm going to build the project I'm obtainning a lot of errors and all are similars, refereing to 'tag', 'params' and redefinitions. I don't know why appear and how could I solve it. I don't if I've made something bad (has a big probability) or are (as seems) errors code. I hope you could help me.

Precision of floating point values

Etienne Danvoye — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 15:48:02 -0000

In TiXmlAttribute::SetDoubleValue, double values are converted to text using the default precision of sprintf, which is not enough, the result is that double values saved to xml and read back have been truncated. Please add a way to specify the precision, or simply increase it to a value high enough to properly represent double values.

Introduction of a namespace

Markus Elfring — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 14:40:31 -0000

I suggest to add at least one namespace to the source files.
http://tinyxml.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tinyxml/tinyxml/tinyxml.h?view=markup&revision=1.111#l83

Would you like to reduce the probability for name clashes?

Use CMake for build system

Markus Elfring — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 19:54:14 -0000

I suggest to use the CMake tool infrastructure so that more compilers and implementation variants can be supported for your software.
http://cmake.org/

Would you also like to provide a script file "FindTinyXML.cmake"?

TextNode with all spaces or \n

Anonymous — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 04:04:30 -0000

In my project I need to create text storage in XML. Sometimes it contain only whitespaces. TinyXml deletes text nodes with whitespases only. Even though condenseWhiteSpace is false.

May you add something like

if ( *p != '<' || pWithWhiteSpace != p)
{
// Take what we have, make a text element.
TiXmlText* textNode = new TiXmlText( "" );

if ( !textNode )
{
return 0;
}

if ( TiXmlBase::IsWhiteSpaceCondensed() )
{
p = textNode->Parse( p, data, encoding );
}
else
{
// Special case: we want to keep the white space
// so that leading spaces aren't removed.
p = textNode->Parse( pWithWhiteSpace, data, encoding );
}

if ( !textNode->Blank() || !TiXmlBase::IsWhiteSpaceCondensed())
LinkEndChild( textNode );
else
delete textNode;

in TiXmlElement::ReadValue to solve that problem?

gzip support with gzstream

SandySandy — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 09:44:12 -0000

gzstream: http://www.cs.unc.edu/Research/compgeom/gzstream/

TiXmlDocument doc;

// save
ogzstream gzout(fn.c_str());
if(gzout.goodl())
{
gzout << doc;
gzout.close();
}

// load
igzstream gzin(fn.c_str());
if(gzin.goodl())
{
gzin >> doc;
gzin.close();
}

XML namespaces support

Etienne Martin — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 14:12:55 -0000

Hi Lee,

I began to work on a C++ project where I need XML parsing, so I looked around to find the best open-source library.

Your TinyXML library is one of the best I found: simple, concise, small learning curve, good documentation, clean work.

But there is one caveat: I need the ability to manage XML namespaces for my parser, and AFAIK, this is not yet possible with TinyXML.

Do you plan to implement this functionnality soon ?

(Please excuse my poor english)

Etienne
