Hi,
I have the following xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dgf:test xmlns:dgf="http://tt";>
<dgf:test1>10</dgf:test1>
</dgf:test>
I’m trying to select the test1 node.
When I run SimpleXPathCAPI and pass in the aforementioned xml file and
this xpath: /test/test1
I do not get any results.
Yes, because your document contains elements in a particular namespace,
and your XPath expression is looking for elements that are not in a
namespace.
When I run SimpleXPathCAPI and pass in the aforementioned xml file and
this xpath: /dgf:test/dgf:test1
I get an error code 12
Is there something wrong with how I’ve defined my xml file? Does the
SimpleXPathCAPI sample handle specifying the namespace of a node in the
xpath expression? If not, how would I go about being able to select the
node I’m trying to select?
Unfortunately, the C API has no mechanism for resolving namespace
prefixes. You can use SimpleXPathAPI, which uses the C++ APIs, and
implements a simple method for resolving namespace prefixes by examining
the root element for namespace declarations.
If you need similar functionality in C, please file an enhancement
request in Jira:
