Re: DOMNode to char*

[Berin Lautenbach]

Milan,

The DOMWriter can actually be told directly to output UTF-16 (or any 
other known encoding) :

DOMWriter *dw = impl->createDOMWriter();
encNameStr = XMLString::transcode("UTF-8");
dw->setEncoding(encNameString);
XMLCh* xcXML = dw->writeToString(*doc);
char *cXML = XMLString::transcode(xcXML);
delete dw;
Should work.

Cheers,
        Berin

    That is exactly what I did. The only problem is that it took me 
about 2 minutes on my PC (P4 2.6 GHz, 512 MB RAM) to write 1,5 MB in 
ostringstream. So, I've done this:
 
DOMWriter *dw = impl->createDOMWriter();
XMLCh* xcXML = dw->writeToString(*doc);
char *cXML = XMLString::transcode(xcXML);
delete dw;
 
    It works fine, but there is "UTF-16" specifier in the first line of 
my XML document:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" standalone="no" ?>
 
    I've tried this (from templatesign.cpp), to replace "UTF-16" with 
"UTF-8":
 
encNameStr = XMLString::transcode("UTF-8");
aNode = doc->getFirstChild();
if (aNode->getNodeType() == DOMNode::ENTITY_NODE)
{
    ((DOMEntity *)aNode)->setEncoding(encNameStr);// never comes here.
}
 
    But, it doesn't work. It never steps into "if".
 
Thank you.

    Just write a link between the serializer and an ostream&. Then you
    can dump to cout or to a ostrstream or ostringstream and extract a
    char* from that.

        Berin,

            I have one (beginner) question. It is more about Xerces. I
        can't get DOMNode (and all its children nodes) as char*. In
        templatesign.exe there is a way to send DOMNode to standard output:
        DOMNode *doc;
        ...
        cout << doc;
            But, I dont wont to put doc in stdout, I'd like to put it
        into char* variable. Do you know how? Example:
        char* result = doc->GetXML();// there is no GetXML() function

            I wrote this:

        DOMWriter *dw = impl->createDOMWriter();
        XMLCh* xcXML = dw->writeToString(*doc);
        char *cXML = XMLString::transcode(xcXML);
        delete dw;
            But, when save result (cXML) in file I got an error because
        this is UTF-16 encoding and I need UTF-8.
        Thank you.
