<div class="textblock"> In this example, we navigate a simple XML file, and read some interesting text. Note that this example doesn't use error checking; working code should check for null pointers when walking an XML tree, or use XMLHandle.</p>
<p>(The XML is an excerpt from "dream.xml").</p>
<p><div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keywordtype">int</span> example_3()</div><div class="line">{</div><div class="line"> <span class="keyword">static</span> <span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="keywordtype">char</span>* xml =</div><div class="line"> <span class="stringliteral">&quot;&lt;?xml version=\&quot;1.0\&quot;?&gt;&quot;</span></div><div class="line"> <span class="stringliteral">&quot;&lt;!DOCTYPE PLAY SYSTEM \&quot;play.dtd\&quot;&gt;&quot;</span></div><div class="line"> <span class="stringliteral">&quot;&lt;PLAY&gt;&quot;</span></div><div class="line"> <span class="stringliteral">&quot;&lt;TITLE&gt;A Midsummer Night&#39;s Dream&lt;/TITLE&gt;&quot;</span></div><div class="line"> <span class="stringliteral">&quot;&lt;/PLAY&gt;&quot;</span>;</div></div><!-- fragment --></p>
<p>The structure of the XML file is:</p>
<ul>
<li>
(declaration) </li>
<li>
(dtd stuff) </li>
<li>
Element "PLAY" <ul>
<li>
Element "TITLE" <ul>
<li>
Text "A Midsummer Night's Dream" </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>For this example, we want to print out the title of the play. The text of the title (what we want) is child of the "TITLE" element which is a child of the "PLAY" element.</p>
<p>We want to skip the declaration and dtd, so the method FirstChildElement() is a good choice. The FirstChildElement() of the Document is the "PLAY" Element, the FirstChildElement() of the "PLAY" Element is the "TITLE" Element.</p>
<p><div class="fragment"><div class="line"></div><div class="line"> XMLDocument doc;</div><div class="line"> doc.Parse( xml );</div><div class="line"></div><div class="line"> XMLElement* titleElement = doc.FirstChildElement( <span class="stringliteral">&quot;PLAY&quot;</span> )-&gt;FirstChildElement( <span class="stringliteral">&quot;TITLE&quot;</span> );</div></div><!-- fragment --></p>
<p>We can then use the convenience function GetText() to get the title of the play.</p>
<p><div class="fragment"><div class="line"> <span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="keywordtype">char</span>* title = titleElement-&gt;GetText();</div><div class="line"> printf( <span class="stringliteral">&quot;Name of play (1): %s\n&quot;</span>, title );</div></div><!-- fragment --></p>
<p>Text is just another Node in the XML DOM. And in fact you should be a little cautious with it, as text nodes can contain elements.</p>
<pre class="fragment">Consider: A Midsummer Night's &lt;b&gt;Dream&lt;/b&gt;
</pre><p>It is more correct to actually query the Text Node if in doubt:</p>
<p><div class="fragment"><div class="line"></div><div class="line"> XMLText* textNode = titleElement-&gt;FirstChild()-&gt;ToText();</div><div class="line"> title = textNode-&gt;Value();</div><div class="line"> printf( <span class="stringliteral">&quot;Name of play (2): %s\n&quot;</span>, title );</div></div><!-- fragment --></p>
<p>Noting that here we use FirstChild() since we are looking for XMLText, not an element, and ToText() is a cast from a Node to a XMLText. </p>
