I don't know what you mean by "assigning this value to a string," so I
can't really answer your question. I suspect the answer is no, but all I
can really tell you is the pointer which is returned by
XMLString::transcode() is a pointer to memory which was dynamically
allocated, so you must delete it when you're finished with it.

Elements have no text value, so you get a null pointer when you call
getNodeValue()-- that's the way the API is designed to work. Your code
crashes probably because you're passing a null pointer to
XMLString::transcode(), which you shouldn't do.

You can either call getChildNodes() to get a list of the children, or call
getFirstChild() to get the first child, then call getNextSibling() on each
child node, until you reach the end of the children. Take a look at some
of the sample programs for more information and code samples.
