+<div class="paragraph">
+<p><a href="http://pugixml.org/">pugixml</a> is a light-weight C&#43;&#43; XML processing library. It consists of a DOM-like interface with rich traversal/modification capabilities, an extremely fast XML parser which constructs the DOM tree from an XML file/buffer, and an <a href="#xpath">XPath 1.0 implementation</a> for complex data-driven tree queries. Full Unicode support is also available, with <a href="#dom.unicode">two Unicode interface variants</a> and conversions between different Unicode encodings (which happen automatically during parsing/saving). The library is <a href="#install.portability">extremely portable</a> and easy to integrate and use. pugixml is developed and maintained since 2006 and has many users. All code is distributed under the <a href="#overview.license">MIT license</a>, making it completely free to use in both open-source and proprietary applications.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>pugixml enables very fast, convenient and memory-efficient XML document processing. However, since pugixml has a DOM parser, it can&#8217;t process XML documents that do not fit in memory; also the parser is a non-validating one, so if you need DTD or XML Schema validation, the library is not for you.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>This is the complete manual for pugixml, which describes all features of the library in detail. If you want to start writing code as quickly as possible, you are advised to <a href="quickstart.html">read the quick start guide first</a>.</p>

+<p>If you believe you&#8217;ve found a bug in pugixml (bugs include compilation problems (errors/warnings), crashes, performance degradation and incorrect behavior), please file an issue via <a href="https://github.com/zeux/pugixml/issues/new">issue submission form</a>. Be sure to include the relevant information so that the bug can be reproduced: the version of pugixml, compiler version and target architecture, the code that uses pugixml and exhibits the bug, etc.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Feature requests can be reported the same way as bugs, so if you&#8217;re missing some functionality in pugixml or if the API is rough in some places and you can suggest an improvement, <a href="https://github.com/zeux/pugixml/issues/new">file an issue</a>. However please note that there are many factors when considering API changes (compatibility with previous versions, API redundancy, etc.), so generally features that can be implemented via a small function without pugixml modification are not accepted. However, all rules have exceptions.</p>

+<p>The complete pugixml source consists of three files - one source file, <code>pugixml.cpp</code>, and two header files, <code>pugixml.hpp</code> and <code>pugiconfig.hpp</code>. <code>pugixml.hpp</code> is the primary header which you need to include in order to use pugixml classes/functions; <code>pugiconfig.hpp</code> is a supplementary configuration file (see <a href="#install.building.config">Additional configuration options</a>). The rest of this guide assumes that <code>pugixml.hpp</code> is either in the current directory or in one of include directories of your projects, so that <code>#include "pugixml.hpp"</code> can find the header; however you can also use relative path (i.e. <code>#include "../libs/pugixml/src/pugixml.hpp"</code>) or include directory-relative path (i.e. <code>#include &lt;xml/thirdparty/pugixml/src/pugixml.hpp&gt;</code>).</p>

+<p>The easiest way to build pugixml is to compile the source file, <code>pugixml.cpp</code>, along with the existing library/executable. This process depends on the method of building your application; for example, if you&#8217;re using Microsoft Visual Studio <span class="footnote">[<a id="_footnoteref_1" class="footnote" href="#_footnote_1" title="View footnote.">1</a>]</span>, Apple Xcode, Code::Blocks or any other IDE, just add <code>pugixml.cpp</code> to one of your projects.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>If you&#8217;re using Microsoft Visual Studio and the project has precompiled headers turned on, you&#8217;ll see the following error messages:</p>

+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The correct way to resolve this is to disable precompiled headers for <code>pugixml.cpp</code>; you have to set "Create/Use Precompiled Header" option (Properties dialog &#8594; C/C&#43;&#43; &#8594; Precompiled Headers &#8594; Create/Use Precompiled Header) to "Not Using Precompiled Headers". You&#8217;ll have to do it for all project configurations/platforms (you can select Configuration "All Configurations" and Platform "All Platforms" before editing the option):</p>

+<p>It&#8217;s possible to compile pugixml as a standalone static library. This process depends on the method of building your application; pugixml distribution comes with project files for several popular IDEs/build systems. There are project files for Apple XCode, Code::Blocks, Codelite, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2010+, and configuration scripts for CMake and premake4. You&#8217;re welcome to submit project files/build scripts for other software; see <a href="#overview.feedback">Feedback</a>.</p>

You should select the version that matches the CRT used in your application; the default option for new projects created by Microsoft Visual Studio is dynamically linked CRT, so unless you changed the defaults, you should use the version with dynamic CRT (i.e. <code>pugixml_vs2008.vcproj</code> for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008).</p>

+<p>In addition to adding pugixml project to your workspace, you&#8217;ll have to make sure that your application links with pugixml library. If you&#8217;re using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008, you can add a dependency from your application project to pugixml one. If you&#8217;re using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010+, you&#8217;ll have to add a reference to your application project instead. For other IDEs/systems, consult the relevant documentation.</p>

The process is usually similar to the static library approach; however, no preconfigured projects/scripts are included into pugixml distribution, so you&#8217;ll have to do it yourself. Generally, if you&#8217;re using GCC-based toolchain, the process does not differ from building any other library as DLL (adding -shared to compilation flags should suffice); if you&#8217;re using MSVC-based toolchain, you&#8217;ll have to explicitly mark exported symbols with a declspec attribute.

+<p>It&#8217;s possible to use pugixml in header-only mode. This means that all source code for pugixml will be included in every translation unit that includes <code>pugixml.hpp</code>. This is how most of Boost and STL libraries work.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Note that there are advantages and drawbacks of this approach. Header mode may improve tree traversal/modification performance (because many simple functions will be inlined), if your compiler toolchain does not support link-time optimization, or if you have it turned off (with link-time optimization the performance should be similar to non-header mode). However, since compiler now has to compile pugixml source once for each translation unit that includes it, compilation times may increase noticeably. If you want to use pugixml in header mode but do not need XPath support, you can consider disabling it by using <a href="#PUGIXML_NO_XPATH">PUGIXML_NO_XPATH</a> define to improve compilation time.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>To enable header-only mode, you have to define <code>PUGIXML_HEADER_ONLY</code>. You can either do it in <code>pugiconfig.hpp</code>, or provide them via compiler command-line.</p>

+<p>pugixml uses several defines to control the compilation process. There are two ways to define them: either put the needed definitions to <code>pugiconfig.hpp</code> (it has some examples that are commented out) or provide them via compiler command-line. Consistency is important: the definitions should match in all source files that include <code>pugixml.hpp</code> (including pugixml sources) throughout the application. Adding defines to <code>pugiconfig.hpp</code> lets you guarantee this, unless your macro definition is wrapped in preprocessor <code>#if</code>/<code>#ifdef</code> directive and this directive is not consistent. <code>pugiconfig.hpp</code> will never contain anything but comments, which means that when upgrading to a new version, you can safely leave your modified version intact.</p>

+<p>pugixml stores XML data in DOM-like way: the entire XML document (both document structure and element data) is stored in memory as a tree. The tree can be loaded from a character stream (file, string, C&#43;&#43; I/O stream), then traversed with the special API or XPath expressions. The whole tree is mutable: both node structure and node/attribute data can be changed at any time. Finally, the result of document transformations can be saved to a character stream (file, C&#43;&#43; I/O stream or custom transport).</p>

+<div class="sect2">
+<h3 id="dom.tree"><a class="anchor" href="#dom.tree"></a>3.1. Tree structure</h3>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The XML document is represented with a tree data structure. The root of the tree is the document itself, which corresponds to C&#43;&#43; type <a href="#xml_document">xml_document</a>. Document has one or more child nodes, which correspond to C&#43;&#43; type <a href="#xml_node">xml_node</a>. Nodes have different types; depending on a type, a node can have a collection of child nodes, a collection of attributes, which correspond to C&#43;&#43; type <a href="#xml_attribute">xml_attribute</a>, and some additional data (i.e. name).</p>
+</div>
+<div id="xml_node_type" class="paragraph">
+<p>The tree nodes can be of one of the following types (which together form the enumeration <code>xml_node_type</code>):</p>
+</div>
+<div class="ulist">
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>Document node (<a id="node_document"></a><code>node_document</code>) - this is the root of the tree, which consists of several child nodes. This node corresponds to <a href="#xml_document">xml_document</a> class; note that <a href="#xml_document">xml_document</a> is a sub-class of <a href="#xml_node">xml_node</a>, so the entire node interface is also available. However, document node is special in several ways, which are covered below. There can be only one document node in the tree; document node does not have any XML representation.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Element/tag node (<a id="node_element"></a><code>node_element</code>) - this is the most common type of node, which represents XML elements. Element nodes have a name, a collection of attributes and a collection of child nodes (both of which may be empty). The attribute is a simple name/value pair. The example XML representation of element nodes is as follows:</p>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre>&lt;node attr="value"&gt;&lt;child/&gt;&lt;/node&gt;</pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>There are two element nodes here: one has name <code>"node"</code>, single attribute <code>"attr"</code> and single child <code>"child"</code>, another has name <code>"child"</code> and does not have any attributes or child nodes.</p>
+</div>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Plain character data nodes (<a id="node_pcdata"></a><code>node_pcdata</code>) represent plain text in XML. PCDATA nodes have a value, but do not have a name or children/attributes. Note that <strong>plain character data is not a part of the element node but instead has its own node</strong>; an element node can have several child PCDATA nodes. The example XML representation of text nodes is as follows:</p>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre>&lt;node&gt; text1 &lt;child/&gt; text2 &lt;/node&gt;</pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Here <code>"node"</code> element has three children, two of which are PCDATA nodes with values <code>" text1 "</code> and <code>" text2 "</code>.</p>
+</div>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Character data nodes (<a id="node_cdata"></a><code>node_cdata</code>) represent text in XML that is quoted in a special way. CDATA nodes do not differ from PCDATA nodes except in XML representation - the above text example looks like this with CDATA:</p>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre>&lt;node&gt; &lt;![CDATA[[text1]]&gt; &lt;child/&gt; &lt;![CDATA[[text2]]&gt; &lt;/node&gt;</pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>CDATA nodes make it easy to include non-escaped <code>&lt;</code>, <code>&amp;</code> and <code>&gt;</code> characters in plain text. CDATA value can not contain the character sequence <code>]]&gt;</code>, since it is used to determine the end of node contents.</p>
+</div>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Comment nodes (<a id="node_comment"></a><code>node_comment</code>) represent comments in XML. Comment nodes have a value, but do not have a name or children/attributes. The example XML representation of a comment node is as follows:</p>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre>&lt;!-- comment text --&gt;</pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Here the comment node has value <code>"comment text"</code>. By default comment nodes are treated as non-essential part of XML markup and are not loaded during XML parsing. You can override this behavior with <a href="#parse_comments">parse_comments</a> flag.</p>
+</div>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Processing instruction node (<a id="node_pi"></a><code>node_pi</code>) represent processing instructions (PI) in XML. PI nodes have a name and an optional value, but do not have children/attributes. The example XML representation of a PI node is as follows:</p>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre>&lt;?name value?&gt;</pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Here the name (also called PI target) is <code>"name"</code>, and the value is <code>"value"</code>. By default PI nodes are treated as non-essential part of XML markup and are not loaded during XML parsing. You can override this behavior with <a href="#parse_pi">parse_pi</a> flag.</p>
+</div>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Declaration node (<a id="node_declaration"></a><code>node_declaration</code>) represents document declarations in XML. Declaration nodes have a name (<code>"xml"</code>) and an optional collection of attributes, but do not have value or children. There can be only one declaration node in a document; moreover, it should be the topmost node (its parent should be the document). The example XML representation of a declaration node is as follows:</p>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;</pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Here the node has name <code>"xml"</code> and a single attribute with name <code>"version"</code> and value <code>"1.0"</code>. By default declaration nodes are treated as non-essential part of XML markup and are not loaded during XML parsing. You can override this behavior with <a href="#parse_declaration">parse_declaration</a> flag. Also, by default a dummy declaration is output when XML document is saved unless there is already a declaration in the document; you can disable this with <a href="#format_no_declaration">format_no_declaration</a> flag.</p>
+</div>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Document type declaration node (<a id="node_doctype"></a><code>node_doctype</code>) represents document type declarations in XML. Document type declaration nodes have a value, which corresponds to the entire document type contents; no additional nodes are created for inner elements like <code>&lt;!ENTITY&gt;</code>. There can be only one document type declaration node in a document; moreover, it should be the topmost node (its parent should be the document). The example XML representation of a document type declaration node is as follows:</p>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre>&lt;!DOCTYPE greeting [ &lt;!ELEMENT greeting (#PCDATA)&gt; ]&gt;</pre>
+</div>
+</div>

+<p>Despite the fact that there are several node types, there are only three C&#43;&#43; classes representing the tree (<code>xml_document</code>, <code>xml_node</code>, <code>xml_attribute</code>); some operations on <code>xml_node</code> are only valid for certain node types. The classes are described below.</p>

+<div class="paragraph">
+<p><a id="xml_document"></a><a id="xml_document::document_element"></a>
+<code>xml_document</code> is the owner of the entire document structure; it is a non-copyable class. The interface of <code>xml_document</code> consists of loading functions (see <a href="#loading">Loading document</a>), saving functions (see <a href="#saving">Saving document</a>) and the entire interface of <code>xml_node</code>, which allows for document inspection and/or modification. Note that while <code>xml_document</code> is a sub-class of <code>xml_node</code>, <code>xml_node</code> is not a polymorphic type; the inheritance is present only to simplify usage. Alternatively you can use the <code>document_element</code> function to get the element node that&#8217;s the immediate child of the document.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p><a id="xml_document::ctor"></a><a id="xml_document::dtor"></a><a id="xml_document::reset"></a>
+Default constructor of <code>xml_document</code> initializes the document to the tree with only a root node (document node). You can then populate it with data using either tree modification functions or loading functions; all loading functions destroy the previous tree with all occupied memory, which puts existing node/attribute handles for this document to invalid state. If you want to destroy the previous tree, you can use the <code>xml_document::reset</code> function; it destroys the tree and replaces it with either an empty one or a copy of the specified document. Destructor of <code>xml_document</code> also destroys the tree, thus the lifetime of the document object should exceed the lifetimes of any node/attribute handles that point to the tree.</p>

+While technically node/attribute handles can be alive when the tree they&#8217;re referring to is destroyed, calling any member function for these handles results in undefined behavior.

+<code>xml_node</code> is the handle to document node; it can point to any node in the document, including the document node itself. There is a common interface for nodes of all types; the actual <a href="#xml_node_type">node type</a> can be queried via the <code>xml_node::type()</code> method. Note that <code>xml_node</code> is only a handle to the actual node, not the node itself - you can have several <code>xml_node</code> handles pointing to the same underlying object. Destroying <code>xml_node</code> handle does not destroy the node and does not remove it from the tree. The size of <code>xml_node</code> is equal to that of a pointer, so it is nothing more than a lightweight wrapper around a pointer; you can safely pass or return <code>xml_node</code> objects by value without additional overhead.</p>
+</div>
+<div id="node_null" class="paragraph">
+<p>There is a special value of <code>xml_node</code> type, known as null node or empty node (such nodes have type <code>node_null</code>). It does not correspond to any node in any document, and thus resembles null pointer. However, all operations are defined on empty nodes; generally the operations don&#8217;t do anything and return empty nodes/attributes or empty strings as their result (see documentation for specific functions for more detailed information). This is useful for chaining calls; i.e. you can get the grandparent of a node like so: <code>node.parent().parent()</code>; if a node is a null node or it does not have a parent, the first <code>parent()</code> call returns null node; the second <code>parent()</code> call then also returns null node, which makes error handling easier.</p>
+</div>
+<div id="xml_attribute" class="paragraph">
+<p><code>xml_attribute</code> is the handle to an XML attribute; it has the same semantics as <code>xml_node</code>, i.e. there can be several <code>xml_attribute</code> handles pointing to the same underlying object and there is a special null attribute value, which propagates to function results.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p><a id="xml_attribute::ctor"></a><a id="xml_node::ctor"></a>

+<p><a id="xml_attribute::comparison"></a><a id="xml_node::comparison"></a>
+<code>xml_node</code> and <code>xml_attribute</code> try to behave like pointers, that is, they can be compared with other objects of the same type, making it possible to use them as keys in associative containers. All handles to the same underlying object are equal, and any two handles to different underlying objects are not equal. Null handles only compare as equal to themselves. The result of relational comparison can not be reliably determined from the order of nodes in file or in any other way. Do not use relational comparison operators except for search optimization (i.e. associative container keys).</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p><a id="xml_attribute::hash_value"></a><a id="xml_node::hash_value"></a>
+If you want to use <code>xml_node</code> or <code>xml_attribute</code> objects as keys in hash-based associative containers, you can use the <code>hash_value</code> member functions. They return the hash values that are guaranteed to be the same for all handles to the same underlying object. The hash value for null handles is 0.</p>

+<p><a id="xml_attribute::unspecified_bool_type"></a><a id="xml_node::unspecified_bool_type"></a><a id="xml_attribute::empty"></a><a id="xml_node::empty"></a>
+Finally handles can be implicitly cast to boolean-like objects, so that you can test if the node/attribute is empty with the following code: <code>if (node) { &#8230;&#8203; }</code> or <code>if (!node) { &#8230;&#8203; } else { &#8230;&#8203; }</code>. Alternatively you can check if a given <code>xml_node</code>/<code>xml_attribute</code> handle is null by calling the following methods:</p>

+<p>Nodes and attributes do not exist without a document tree, so you can&#8217;t create them without adding them to some document. Once underlying node/attribute objects are destroyed, the handles to those objects become invalid. While this means that destruction of the entire tree invalidates all node/attribute handles, it also means that destroying a subtree (by calling <a href="#xml_node::remove_child">xml_node::remove_child</a>) or removing an attribute invalidates the corresponding handles. There is no way to check handle validity; you have to ensure correctness through external mechanisms.</p>

Because of the scheme specifics, the pages are only destroyed if all objects inside them are destroyed; also, generally destroying an object does not mean that subsequent object creation will reuse the same memory. This means that it is possible to devise a usage scheme which will lead to higher memory usage than expected; one example is adding a lot of nodes, and them removing all even numbered ones; not a single page is reclaimed in the process. However this is an example specifically crafted to produce unsatisfying behavior; in all practical usage scenarios the memory consumption is less than that of a general-purpose allocator because allocation meta-data is very small in size.</p>

+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>pugixml provides several functions for loading XML data from various places - files, C&#43;&#43; iostreams, memory buffers. All functions use an extremely fast non-validating parser. This parser is not fully W3C conformant - it can load any valid XML document, but does not perform some well-formedness checks. While considerable effort is made to reject invalid XML documents, some validation is not performed for performance reasons. Also some XML transformations (i.e. EOL handling or attribute value normalization) can impact parsing speed and thus can be disabled. However for vast majority of XML documents there is no performance difference between different parsing options. Parsing options also control whether certain XML nodes are parsed; see <a href="#loading.options">Parsing options</a> for more information.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>XML data is always converted to internal character format (see <a href="#dom.unicode">Unicode interface</a>) before parsing. pugixml supports all popular Unicode encodings (UTF-8, UTF-16 (big and little endian), UTF-32 (big and little endian); UCS-2 is naturally supported since it&#8217;s a strict subset of UTF-16) and handles all encoding conversions automatically. Unless explicit encoding is specified, loading functions perform automatic encoding detection based on first few characters of XML data, so in almost all cases you do not have to specify document encoding.

+Sometimes XML data should be loaded from some other source than a file, i.e. HTTP URL; also you may want to load XML data from file using non-standard functions, i.e. to use your virtual file system facilities or to load XML from GZip-compressed files. All these scenarios require loading document from memory. First you should prepare a contiguous memory block with all XML data; then you have to invoke one of buffer loading functions. These functions will handle the necessary encoding conversions, if any, and then will parse the data into the corresponding XML tree. There are several buffer loading functions, which differ in the behavior and thus in performance/memory usage:</p>

+<p>All functions accept the buffer which is represented by a pointer to XML data, <code>contents</code>, and data size in bytes. Also there are two optional arguments, which specify parsing options (see <a href="#loading.options">Parsing options</a>) and input data encoding (see <a href="#loading.encoding">Encodings</a>). The buffer does not have to be zero-terminated.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p><code>load_buffer</code> function works with immutable buffer - it does not ever modify the buffer. Because of this restriction it has to create a private buffer and copy XML data to it before parsing (applying encoding conversions if necessary). This copy operation carries a performance penalty, so inplace functions are provided - <code>load_buffer_inplace</code> and <code>load_buffer_inplace_own</code> store the document data in the buffer, modifying it in the process. In order for the document to stay valid, you have to make sure that the buffer&#8217;s lifetime exceeds that of the tree if you&#8217;re using inplace functions. In addition to that, <code>load_buffer_inplace</code> does not assume ownership of the buffer, so you&#8217;ll have to destroy it yourself; <code>load_buffer_inplace_own</code> assumes ownership of the buffer and destroys it once it is not needed. This means that if you&#8217;re using <code>load_buffer_inplace_own</code>, you have to allocate memory with pugixml allocation function (you can get it via <a href="#get_memory_allocation_function">get_memory_allocation_function</a>).</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The best way from the performance/memory point of view is to load document using <code>load_buffer_inplace_own</code>; this function has maximum control of the buffer with XML data so it is able to avoid redundant copies and reduce peak memory usage while parsing. This is the recommended function if you have to load the document from memory and performance is critical.</p>

+<p>All document loading functions accept the optional parameter <code>options</code>. This is a bitmask that customizes the parsing process: you can select the node types that are parsed and various transformations that are performed with the XML text. Disabling certain transformations can improve parsing performance for some documents; however, the code for all transformations is very well optimized, and thus the majority of documents won&#8217;t get any performance benefit. As a rule of thumb, only modify parsing flags if you want to get some nodes in the document that are excluded by default (i.e. declaration or comment nodes).</p>

+<p><a id="parse_trim_pcdata"></a><code>parse_trim_pcdata</code> determines if leading and trailing whitespace characters are to be removed from PCDATA nodes. While for some applications leading/trailing whitespace is significant, often the application only cares about the non-whitespace contents so it&#8217;s easier to trim whitespace from text during parsing. This flag is <strong>off</strong> by default.</p>

+<p><a id="parse_ws_pcdata"></a><code>parse_ws_pcdata</code> determines if PCDATA nodes (nodes with type <a href="#node_pcdata">node_pcdata</a>) that consist only of whitespace characters are to be put in DOM tree. Often whitespace-only data is not significant for the application, and the cost of allocating and storing such nodes (both memory and speed-wise) can be significant. For example, after parsing XML string <code>&lt;node&gt; &lt;a/&gt; &lt;/node&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;node&gt;</code> element will have three children when <code>parse_ws_pcdata</code> is set (child with type <a href="#node_pcdata">node_pcdata</a> and value <code>" "</code>, child with type <a href="#node_element">node_element</a> and name <code>"a"</code>, and another child with type <a href="#node_pcdata">node_pcdata</a> and value <code>" "</code>), and only one child when <code>parse_ws_pcdata</code> is not set.

In some cases application needs to parse the whitespace-only contents of nodes, i.e. <code>&lt;node&gt; &lt;/node&gt;</code>, but is not interested in whitespace markup elsewhere. It is possible to use <a href="#parse_ws_pcdata">parse_ws_pcdata</a> flag in this case, but it results in excessive allocations and complicates document processing; this flag can be used to avoid that. As an example, after parsing XML string <code>&lt;node&gt; &lt;a&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/node&gt;</code> with <code>parse_ws_pcdata_single</code> flag set, <code>&lt;node&gt;</code> element will have one child <code>&lt;a&gt;</code>, and <code>&lt;a&gt;</code> element will have one child with type <a href="#node_pcdata">node_pcdata</a> and value <code>" "</code>.

+<p><a id="parse_fragment"></a><code>parse_fragment</code> determines if document should be treated as a fragment of a valid XML. Parsing document as a fragment leads to top-level PCDATA content (i.e. text that is not located inside a node) to be added to a tree, and additionally treats documents without element nodes as valid.

+<p>There is only one non-conformant behavior when dealing with valid XML documents: pugixml does not use information supplied in document type declaration for parsing.

+<p>pugixml features an extensive interface for getting various types of data from the document and for traversing the document. This section provides documentation for all such functions that do not modify the tree except for XPath-related functions; see <a href="#xpath">XPath</a> for XPath reference. As discussed in <a href="#dom.cpp">C&#43;&#43; interface</a>, there are two types of handles to tree data - <a href="#xml_node">xml_node</a> and <a href="#xml_attribute">xml_attribute</a>. The handles have special null (empty) values which propagate through various functions and thus are useful for writing more concise code; see <a href="#node_null">this description</a> for details. The documentation in this section will explicitly state the results of all function in case of null inputs.</p>

+The internal representation of the document is a tree, where each node has a list of child nodes (the order of children corresponds to their order in the XML representation), and additionally element nodes have a list of attributes, which is also ordered. Several functions are provided in order to let you get from one node in the tree to the other. These functions roughly correspond to the internal representation, and thus are usually building blocks for other methods of traversing (i.e. XPath traversals are based on these functions).</p>

Past-the-end iterator is commonly used as a termination value for iteration loops (see sample below). If you want to get an iterator that points to an existing handle, you can construct the iterator with the handle as a single constructor argument, like so: <code>xml_node_iterator(node)</code>. For <code>xml_attribute_iterator</code>, you&#8217;ll have to provide both an attribute and its parent node.</p>

+<p>Both types of iterators have bidirectional iterator semantics (i.e. they can be incremented and decremented, but efficient random access is not supported) and support all usual iterator operations - comparison, dereference, etc. The iterators are invalidated if the node/attribute objects they&#8217;re pointing to are removed from the tree; adding nodes/attributes does not invalidate any iterators.</p>

+Node and attribute iterators are somewhere in the middle between const and non-const iterators. While dereference operation yields a non-constant reference to the object, so that you can use it for tree modification operations, modifying this reference using assignment - i.e. passing iterators to a function like <code>std::sort</code> - will not give expected results, as assignment modifies local handle that&#8217;s stored in the iterator.

For example, in the following document: <code>&lt;a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;c/&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</code>, node <code>&lt;c/&gt;</code> has path <code>"a/b/c"</code>; calling <code>first_element_by_path</code> for document with path <code>"a/b"</code> results in node <code>&lt;b/&gt;</code>; calling <code>first_element_by_path</code> for node <code>&lt;a/&gt;</code> with path <code>"../a/./b/../."</code> results in node <code>&lt;a/&gt;</code>; calling <code>first_element_by_path</code> with path <code>"/a"</code> results in node <code>&lt;a/&gt;</code> for any node.</p>

+<p>The document in pugixml is fully mutable: you can completely change the document structure and modify the data of nodes/attributes. This section provides documentation for the relevant functions. All functions take care of memory management and structural integrity themselves, so they always result in structurally valid tree - however, it is possible to create an invalid XML tree (for example, by adding two attributes with the same name or by setting attribute/node name to empty/invalid string). Tree modification is optimized for performance and for memory consumption, so if you have enough memory you can create documents from scratch with pugixml and later save them to file/stream instead of relying on error-prone manual text writing and without too much overhead.</p>

+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>All member functions that change node/attribute data or structure are non-constant and thus can not be called on constant handles. However, you can easily convert constant handle to non-constant one by simple assignment: <code>void foo(const pugi::xml_node&amp; n) { pugi::xml_node nc = n; }</code>, so const-correctness here mainly provides additional documentation.</p>

+With the help of previously described functions, it is possible to create trees with any contents and structure, including cloning the existing data. However since this is an often needed operation, pugixml provides built-in node/attribute cloning facilities. Since nodes and attributes do not exist without a document tree, you can&#8217;t create a standalone copy - you have to immediately insert it somewhere in the tree.

+<p>The first method is more convenient, but slower than the other two. The relative performance of <code>append_copy</code> and <code>append_buffer</code> depends on the buffer format - usually <code>append_buffer</code> is faster if the buffer is in native encoding (UTF-8 or wchar_t, depending on <code>PUGIXML_WCHAR_MODE</code>). At the same time it might be less efficient in terms of memory usage - the implementation makes a copy of the provided buffer, and the copy has the same lifetime as the document - the memory used by that copy will be reclaimed after the document is destroyed, but no sooner. Even deleting all nodes in the document, including the appended ones, won&#8217;t reclaim the memory.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p><code>append_buffer</code> behaves in the same way as <a href="#xml_document::load_buffer">xml_document::load_buffer</a> - the input buffer is a byte buffer, with size in bytes; the buffer is not modified and can be freed after the function returns.</p>

+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Often after creating a new document or loading the existing one and processing it, it is necessary to save the result back to file. Also it is occasionally useful to output the whole document or a subtree to some stream; use cases include debug printing, serialization via network or other text-oriented medium, etc. pugixml provides several functions to output any subtree of the document to a file, stream or another generic transport interface; these functions allow to customize the output format (see <a href="#saving.options">Output options</a>), and also perform necessary encoding conversions (see <a href="#saving.encoding">Encodings</a>). This section documents the relevant functionality.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Before writing to the destination the node/attribute data is properly formatted according to the node type; all special XML symbols, such as <code>&lt;</code> and <code>&amp;</code>, are properly escaped (unless <a href="#format_no_escapes">format_no_escapes</a> flag is set). In order to guard against forgotten node/attribute names, empty node/attribute names are printed as <code>":anonymous"</code>. For well-formed output, make sure all node and attribute names are set to meaningful values.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>CDATA sections with values that contain <code>"]]&gt;"</code> are split into several sections as follows: section with value <code>"pre]]&gt;post"</code> is written as <code>&lt;![CDATA[pre]]]]&gt;&lt;![CDATA[&gt;post]]&gt;</code>. While this alters the structure of the document (if you load the document after saving it, there will be two CDATA sections instead of one), this is the only way to escape CDATA contents.</p>

On the other hand, <code>save</code> with <code>std::wstream</code> argument saves the document to the wide stream with <a href="#encoding_wchar">encoding_wchar</a> encoding. Because of this, using <code>save</code> with wide character streams requires careful (usually platform-specific) stream setup (i.e. using the <code>imbue</code> function). Generally use of wide streams is discouraged, however it provides you with the ability to save documents to non-Unicode encodings, i.e. you can save Shift-JIS encoded data if you set the correct locale.</p>

The output encoding is set via the <code>encoding</code> parameter of saving functions, which is of type <code>xml_encoding</code>. The possible values for the encoding are documented in <a href="#loading.encoding">Encodings</a>; the only flag that has a different meaning is <code>encoding_auto</code>.</p>

+<p>While all other flags set the exact encoding, <code>encoding_auto</code> is meant for automatic encoding detection. The automatic detection does not make sense for output encoding, since there is usually nothing to infer the actual encoding from, so here <code>encoding_auto</code> means UTF-8 encoding, which is the most popular encoding for XML data storage. This is also the default value of output encoding; specify another value if you do not want UTF-8 encoded output.</p>

+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>If the task at hand is to select a subset of document nodes that match some criteria, it is possible to code a function using the existing traversal functionality for any practical criteria. However, often either a data-driven approach is desirable, in case the criteria are not predefined and come from a file, or it is inconvenient to use traversal interfaces and a higher-level DSL is required. There is a standard language for XML processing, XPath, that can be useful for these cases. pugixml implements an almost complete subset of XPath 1.0. Because of differences in document object model and some performance implications, there are minor violations of the official specifications, which can be found in <a href="#xpath.w3c">Conformance to W3C specification</a>. The rest of this section describes the interface for XPath functionality. Please note that if you wish to learn to use XPath language, you have to look for other tutorials or manuals; for example, you can read <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/">W3Schools XPath tutorial</a>, <a href="http://www.tizag.com/xmlTutorial/xpathtutorial.php">XPath tutorial at tizag.com</a>, and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/">the XPath 1.0 specification</a>.</p>

+Each XPath expression can have one of the following types: boolean, number, string or node set. Boolean type corresponds to <code>bool</code> type, number type corresponds to <code>double</code> type, string type corresponds to either <code>std::string</code> or <code>std::wstring</code>, depending on whether <a href="#dom.unicode">wide character interface is enabled</a>, and node set corresponds to <a href="#xpath_node_set">xpath_node_set</a> type. There is an enumeration, <code>xpath_value_type</code>, which can take the values <code>xpath_type_boolean</code>, <code>xpath_type_number</code>, <code>xpath_type_string</code> or <code>xpath_type_node_set</code>, accordingly.</p>

+Because an XPath node can be either a node or an attribute, there is a special type, <code>xpath_node</code>, which is a discriminated union of these types. A value of this type contains two node handles, one of <code>xml_node</code> type, and another one of <code>xml_attribute</code> type; at most one of them can be non-null. The accessors to get these handles are available:</p>

+<p>You can also create XPath nodes with one of the three constructors: the default constructor, the constructor that takes node argument, and the constructor that takes attribute and node arguments (in which case the attribute must belong to the attribute list of the node). The constructor from <code>xml_node</code> is implicit, so you can usually pass <code>xml_node</code> to functions that expect <code>xpath_node</code>. Apart from that you usually don&#8217;t need to create your own XPath node objects, since they are returned to you via selection functions.</p>

+<div id="xpath_node_set" class="paragraph">
+<p>XPath expressions operate not on single nodes, but instead on node sets. A node set is a collection of nodes, which can be optionally ordered in either a forward document order or a reverse one.

+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>There are two different mechanisms for error handling in XPath implementation; the mechanism used depends on whether exception support is disabled (this is controlled with <a href="#PUGIXML_NO_EXCEPTIONS">PUGIXML_NO_EXCEPTIONS</a> define).</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p><a id="xpath_exception"></a><a id="xpath_exception::result"></a><a id="xpath_exception::what"></a>
+By default, XPath functions throw <code>xpath_exception</code> object in case of errors; additionally, in the event any memory allocation fails, an <code>std::bad_alloc</code> exception is thrown. Also <code>xpath_exception</code> is thrown if the query is evaluated to a node set, but the return type is not node set. If the query constructor succeeds (i.e. no exception is thrown), the query object is valid. Otherwise you can get the error details via one of the following functions:</p>

+If exceptions are disabled, then in the event of parsing failure the query is initialized to invalid state; you can test if the query object is valid by using it in a boolean expression: <code>if (query) { &#8230;&#8203; }</code>.

+<p>Consecutive text nodes sharing the same parent are not merged, i.e. in <code>&lt;node&gt;text1 &lt;![CDATA[data]]&gt; text2&lt;/node&gt;</code> node should have one text node child, but instead has three.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Since the document type declaration is not used for parsing, <code>id()</code> function always returns an empty node set.</p>

+<li>
+<p>Namespace nodes are not supported (affects <code>namespace::</code> axis).</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Name tests are performed on QNames in XML document instead of expanded names; for <code>&lt;foo xmlns:ns1='uri' xmlns:ns2='uri'&gt;&lt;ns1:child/&gt;&lt;ns2:child/&gt;&lt;/foo&gt;</code>, query <code>foo/ns1:*</code> will return only the first child, not both of them. Compliant XPath implementations can return both nodes if the user provides appropriate namespace declarations.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>String functions consider a character to be either a single <code>char</code> value or a single <code>wchar_t</code> value, depending on the library configuration; this means that some string functions are not fully Unicode-aware. This affects <code>substring()</code>, <code>string-length()</code> and <code>translate()</code> functions.</p>

+<div class="ulist">
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>XPath bugfixes:</p>
+<div class="olist arabic">
+<ol class="arabic">
+<li>
+<p>Fixed <code>translate()</code>, <code>lang()</code> and <code>concat()</code> functions (infinite loops/crashes)</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Fixed compilation of queries with empty literal strings (<code>""</code>)</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Fixed axis tests: they never add empty nodes/attributes to the resulting node set now</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Fixed string-value evaluation for node-set (the result excluded some text descendants)</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Fixed <code>self::</code> axis (it behaved like <code>ancestor-or-self::</code>)</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Fixed <code>following::</code> and <code>preceding::</code> axes (they included descendent and ancestor nodes, respectively)</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Minor fix for <code>namespace-uri()</code> function (namespace declaration scope includes the parent element of namespace declaration attribute)</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Some incorrect queries are no longer parsed now (i.e. <code>foo: *</code>)</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Fixed <code>text()</code>/etc. node test parsing bug (i.e. <code>foo[text()]</code> failed to compile)</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Fixed root step (<code>/</code>) - it now selects empty node set if query is evaluated on empty node</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Fixed string to number conversion (<code>"123 "</code> converted to NaN, <code>"123 .456"</code> converted to 123.456 - now the results are 123 and NaN, respectively)</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Node set copying now preserves sorted type; leads to better performance on some queries</p>
+</li>

+<li>
+<p>Miscellaneous bugfixes:</p>
+<div class="olist arabic">

+<p>Specification changes:</p>
+<div class="olist arabic">

+<p><code>xpath_node::select_nodes()</code> and related functions now throw exception if expression return type is not node set (instead of assertion)</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>xml_node::traverse()</code> now sets depth to -1 for both <code>begin()</code> and <code>end()</code> callbacks (was 0 at <code>begin()</code> and -1 at <code>end()</code>)</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>In case of non-raw node printing a newline is output after PCDATA inside nodes if the PCDATA has siblings</p>

+<li>
+<p>Single quotes are no longer escaped when printing nodes</p>
+</li>
+<li>

+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Reworked node printing - now it works via <code>xml_writer</code> interface; implementations for <code>FILE*</code> and <code>std::ostream</code> are available. As a side-effect, <code>xml_document::save_file</code> now works without STL.</p>
+</li>
+</ol>
+</div>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>New features:</p>
+<div class="olist arabic">
+<ol class="arabic">
+<li>
+<p>Added unsigned integer support for attributes (<code>xml_attribute::as_uint</code>, <code>xml_attribute::operator=</code>)</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Now document declaration (<code>&lt;?xml &#8230;&#8203;?&gt;</code>) is parsed as node with type <code>node_declaration</code> when <code>parse_declaration</code> flag is specified (access to encoding/version is performed as if they were attributes, i.e. <code>doc.child("xml").attribute("version").as_float()</code>); corresponding flags for node printing were also added</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Added support for custom memory management (see <code>set_memory_management_functions</code> for details)</p>

+<p>Added file offset information querying for debugging purposes (now you&#8217;re able to determine exact location of any <code>xml_node</code> in parsed file, see <code>xml_node::offset_debug</code> for details)</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Improved error handling for parsing - now <code>load()</code>, <code>load_file()</code> and <code>parse()</code> return <code>xml_parse_result</code>, which contains error code and last parsed offset; this does not break old interface as <code>xml_parse_result</code> can be implicitly casted to <code>bool</code>.</p>
