I'm a novice to both XML authoring and Xerces so I'm working from
samples to get everything set up. I've started a simple program to
parse my sample .xml and output it's contents.
I was expecting several ELEMENT_NODEs and a few TEXT_NODEs, however my
output indicates that everything in my .xml is a TEXT_NODE.
This is not possible.
This is preventing me from being able to access the actual element name,
and is returning #text as the node name for every node in the DOM tree.
Any suggestions on why this is occurring and how to correctly identify
the elements as ELEMENT_NODEs?
Your code must have a bug.
Thanks!
Here's the pertinent code:
// create tree walker to traverse all elements in the DOMDocument Tree
DOMElement *docRoot = document->getDocumentElement(); // get root to
give walker
DOMTreeWalker* walker = document->createTreeWalker(docRoot,
DOMNodeFilter::SHOW_TEXT, NULL, true);
You're asking the DOMTreeWalker to only show you text nodes, so there's
no way you'll get any element nodes. Of course, you can always call
getParent() on each text node, but perhaps you should instead have the
DOMTreeWalker show you element and text nodes:
DOMTreeWalker* walker =
document->createTreeWalker(
docRoot,
DOMNodeFilter::SHOW_ELEMENT | DOMNodeFilter::SHOW_TEXT,
NULL,
true);
