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> -<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 class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">void</span> - <span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">pugi</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">xml_node</span><span class="special">&</span> <span class="identifier">n</span><span class="special">)</span> - <span class="special">{</span> <span class="identifier">pugi</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">xml_node</span> <span class="identifier">nc</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">n</span><span class="special">;</span> <span class="special">}</span></code>, so const-correctness - here mainly provides additional documentation. - </p> -<div class="section"> -<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"> -<a name="manual.modify.nodedata"></a><a class="link" href="modify.html#manual.modify.nodedata" title="Setting node data"> Setting node data</a> -</h3></div></div></div> -<a name="xml_node::set_name"></a><a name="xml_node::set_value"></a><p> - As discussed before, nodes can have name and value, both of which are strings. - Depending on node type, name or value may be absent. <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_document">node_document</a> - nodes do not have a name or value, <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_element">node_element</a> - and <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_declaration">node_declaration</a> nodes always - have a name but never have a value, <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_pcdata">node_pcdata</a>, - <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_cdata">node_cdata</a>, <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_comment">node_comment</a> - and <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_doctype">node_doctype</a> nodes never have a name - but always have a value (it may be empty though), <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_pi">node_pi</a> - nodes always have a name and a value (again, value may be empty).

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't reclaim the memory. - </p> -<p> - <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">append_buffer</span></code> behaves in - the same way as <a class="link" href="loading.html#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> -<a name="status_append_invalid_root"></a><p> - Since <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">append_buffer</span></code> needs - to append child nodes to the current node, it only works if the current node - is either document or element node. Calling <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">append_buffer</span></code> - on a node with any other type results in an error with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">status_append_invalid_root</span></code> - status. - </p> -</div> -</div> -<table xmlns:rev="http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~gregod/boost/tools/doc/revision" width="100%"><tr> -<td align="left"></td> -<td align="right"><div class="copyright-footer">Copyright © 2014 Arseny Kapoulkine<p> - Distributed under the MIT License - </p> -</div></td> -</tr></table> -<hr> -<table width="100%"><tr> -<td> -<a href="http://pugixml.org/">pugixml 1.5</a> manual | - <a href="../manual.html">Overview</a> | - <a href="install.html">Installation</a> | - Document: - <a href="dom.html">Object model</a> · <a href="loading.html">Loading</a> · <a href="access.html">Accessing</a> · <b>Modifying</b> · <a href="saving.html">Saving</a> | - <a href="xpath.html">XPath</a> | - <a href="apiref.html">API Reference</a> | - <a href="toc.html">Table of Contents</a> -</td> -<td width="*" align="right"><div class="spirit-nav"> -<a accesskey="p" href="access.html"><img src="../images/prev.png" alt="Prev"></a><a accesskey="u" href="../manual.html"><img src="../images/up.png" alt="Up"></a><a accesskey="h" href="../manual.html"><img src="../images/home.png" alt="Home"></a><a accesskey="n" href="saving.html"><img src="../images/next.png" alt="Next"></a> -</div></td> -</tr></table> -</body> -</html> |
