Variable Documentation

const size_t pugi::memory_block_size = 32768

Memory block size, used for fast allocator. Memory for DOM tree is allocated in blocks of memory_block_size + 4. This value affects size of xml_memory class.

const unsigned int pugi::parse_minimal = 0x0000

Minimal parsing mode. Equivalent to turning all other flags off. This set of flags means that pugixml does not add pi/cdata sections or comments to DOM tree and does not perform any conversions for input data, meaning fastest parsing.

const unsigned int pugi::parse_pi = 0x0001

This flag determines if processing instructions (nodes with type node_pi; such nodes have the form of <? target content ?> or <? target ?> in XML) are to be put in DOM tree. If this flag is off, they are not put in the tree, but are still parsed and checked for correctness. The corresponding node in DOM tree will have type node_pi, name "target" and value "content", if any. Note that <?xml ...?> (document declaration) is not considered to be a PI. This flag is off by default.

const unsigned int pugi::parse_comments = 0x0002

This flag determines if comments (nodes with type node_comment; such nodes have the form of in XML) are to be put in DOM tree. If this flag is off, they are not put in the tree, but are still parsed and checked for correctness. The corresponding node in DOM tree will have type node_comment, empty name and value "content". This flag is off by default.

const unsigned int pugi::parse_cdata = 0x0004

This flag determines if CDATA sections (nodes with type node_cdata; such nodes have the form of <![CDATA[[content]]> in XML) are to be put in DOM tree. If this flag is off, they are not put in the tree, but are still parsed and checked for correctness. The corresponding node in DOM tree will have type node_cdata, empty name and value "content". This flag is on by default.

const unsigned int pugi::parse_ws_pcdata = 0x0008

This flag determines if nodes with PCDATA (regular text) 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 "<node> <a/> </node>", <node> element will have 3 children when parse_ws_pcdata is set (child with type node_pcdata and value=" ", child with type node_element and name "a", and another child with type node_pcdata and value=" "), and only 1 child when parse_ws_pcdata is not set. This flag is off by default.

const unsigned int pugi::parse_escapes = 0x0010

This flag determines if character and entity references are to be expanded during the parsing process. Character references are &#...; or &x...; (... is Unicode numeric representation of character in either decimal (&#...;) or hexadecimal (&x...;) form), entity references are &...; Note that as pugixml does not handle DTD, the only allowed entities are predefined ones - <, >, &, ' and ". If character/entity reference can not be expanded, it is leaved as is, so you can do additional processing later. Reference expansion is performed in attribute values and PCDATA content. This flag is on by default.

const unsigned int pugi::parse_eol = 0x0020

This flag determines if EOL handling (that is, replacing sequences 0x0d 0x0a by a single 0x0a character, and replacing all standalone 0x0d characters by 0x0a) is to be performed on input data (that is, comments contents, PCDATA/CDATA contents and attribute values). This flag is on by default.

const unsigned int pugi::parse_wnorm_attribute = 0x0040

This flag determines if attribute value normalization should be performed for all attributes, assuming that their type is not CDATA. This means, that: 1. Whitespace characters (new line, tab and space) are replaced with space (' ') 2. Afterwards sequences of spaces are replaced with a single space 3. Leading/trailing whitespace characters are trimmed This flag is off by default.

const unsigned int pugi::parse_wconv_attribute = 0x0080

This flag determines if attribute value normalization should be performed for all attributes, assuming that their type is CDATA. This means, that whitespace characters (new line, tab and space) are replaced with space (' '). Note, that the actions performed while this flag is on are also performed if parse_wnorm_attribute is on, so this flag has no effect if parse_wnorm_attribute flag is set. This flag is on by default.

const unsigned int pugi::parse_default = parse_cdata | parse_escapes | parse_wconv_attribute | parse_eol

This is the default set of flags. It includes parsing CDATA sections (comments/PIs are not parsed), performing character and entity reference expansion, replacing whitespace characters with spaces in attribute values and performing EOL handling. Note, that PCDATA sections consisting only of whitespace characters are not parsed (by default) for performance reasons.

const unsigned int pugi::format_indent = 0x01

Indent the nodes that are written to output stream with as many indentation strings as deep the node is in DOM tree. This flag is on by default.

const unsigned int pugi::format_write_bom_utf8 = 0x02

This flag determines if UTF-8 BOM is to be written to output stream. This flag is off by default.

const unsigned int pugi::format_raw = 0x04

If this flag is on, no indentation is performed and no line breaks are written to output file. This means that the data is written to output stream as is. This flag is off by default.

const unsigned int pugi::format_default = format_indent

This is the default set of formatting flags. It includes indenting nodes depending on their depth in DOM tree.
