## Detailed Description

Represents an XML document in the DOM model.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

xmlpp::Document::Document | ( | const Glib::ustring & | version = `"1.0"` ) | `[explicit]`

virtual xmlpp::Document::~Document | ( | ) | `[virtual]`

## Member Function Documentation

CommentNode* xmlpp::Document::add_comment | ( | const Glib::ustring & | content ) |

Append a new comment node.

Parameters:

  content | The text. This should be unescaped - see ContentNode::set_content().

Returns:
  The new comment node.

const _xmlDoc* xmlpp::Document::cobj | ( | ) | const

Access the underlying libxml implementation.

_xmlDoc* xmlpp::Document::cobj | ( | ) |

Access the underlying libxml implementation.

Element* xmlpp::Document::create_root_node | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | ns_uri = `Glib::ustring()`,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | ns_prefix = `Glib::ustring()`
| ) |  |

Creates the root node.

Parameters:

  name | The node's name.
  ns_uri | The namespace URI. A namspace declaration will be added to this node, because it could not have been declared before.
  ns_prefix | The namespace prefix to associate with the namespace. If no namespace prefix is specified then the namespace URI will be the default namespace.

Returns:
  A pointer to the new root node

Element* xmlpp::Document::create_root_node_by_import | ( | const Node* | node,
|  | bool | recursive = `true`
| ) |  |

Creates a root node by importing the node from another document, without affecting the source node.

Parameters:

  node | The node to copy and insert as the root node of the document
  recursive | Whether to import the child nodes also. Defaults to true.

Returns:
  A pointer to the new root node

Glib::ustring xmlpp::Document::get_encoding | ( | ) | const

Returns:
  The encoding used in the source from which the document has been loaded.

_xmlEntity* xmlpp::Document::get_entity | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name ) | `[protected]`

Retrieve an Entity.

The entity can be from an external subset or internally declared.

Parameters:

  name | Then name of the entity to get.

Returns:
  A pointer to the libxml2 entity structure.

Dtd* xmlpp::Document::get_internal_subset | ( | ) | const

Element* xmlpp::Document::get_root_node | ( | ) | const

Return the root node.

This function does _not_ create a default root node if it doesn't exist.

Returns:
  A pointer to the root node if it exists, 0 otherwise.

virtual void xmlpp::Document::set_entity_declaration | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name,
|  | XmlEntityType | type,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | publicId,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | systemId,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | content
| ) |  | `[virtual]`

Add an Entity declaration to the document.

Parameters:

  name | The name of the entity that will be used in an entity reference.
  type | The type of entity.
  publicId | The public ID of the subset.
  systemId | The system ID of the subset.
  content | The value of the Entity. In entity reference substitutions, this is the replacement value.

void xmlpp::Document::set_internal_subset | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | external_id,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | system_id
| ) |  |

void xmlpp::Document::write_to_file | ( | const Glib::ustring & | filename,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | encoding = `Glib::ustring()`
| ) |  |

Write the document to a file.

Parameters:

  filename |
  encoding | If not provided, UTF-8 is used

void xmlpp::Document::write_to_file_formatted | ( | const Glib::ustring & | filename,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | encoding = `Glib::ustring()`
| ) |  |

Write the document to a file.

The output is formatted by inserting whitespaces, which is easier to read for a human, but may insert unwanted significant whitespaces. Use with care !

Parameters:

  filename |
  encoding | If not provided, UTF-8 is used

void xmlpp::Document::write_to_stream | ( | std::ostream & | output,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | encoding = `Glib::ustring()`
| ) |  |

Write the document to a std::ostream.

Parameters:

  output | A reference to the stream in which the document will be written
  encoding | If not provided, UTF-8 is used

Warning:
  This method is much less efficient than write_to_string if you want to dump the document to a buffer or the standard output. Writing to a fstream is almost as fast as write_to_file

void xmlpp::Document::write_to_stream_formatted | ( | std::ostream & | output,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | encoding = `Glib::ustring()`
| ) |  |

Write the document to a std::ostream.

The output is formatted by inserting whitespaces, which is easier to read for a human, but may insert unwanted significant whitespaces. Use with care !

Parameters:

  output | A reference to the stream in which the document will be written
  encoding | If not provided, UTF-8 is used

Warning:
  See write_to_stream

Glib::ustring xmlpp::Document::write_to_string | ( | const Glib::ustring & | encoding = `Glib::ustring()` ) |

Write the document to the memory.

Parameters:

  encoding | If not provided, UTF-8 is used

Glib::ustring xmlpp::Document::write_to_string_formatted | ( | const Glib::ustring & | encoding = `Glib::ustring()` ) |

Write the document to the memory.

The output is formatted by inserting whitespaces, which is easier to read for a human, but may insert unwanted significant whitespaces. Use with care !

Parameters:

  encoding | If not provided, UTF-8 is used

Returns:
  The written document.
