<div class="paragraph">
<p><a href="http://pugixml.org/">pugixml</a> is a light-weight C++ 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’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’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’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>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>pugixml is distributed in source form without any pre-built binaries; you have to build them yourself.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<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 <xml/thirdparty/pugixml/src/pugixml.hpp></code>).</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<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’re using Microsoft Visual Studio <sup class="footnote">[<a id="_footnoteref_1" class="footnote" href="#_footnote_1" title="View footnote.">1</a>]</sup>, 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’re using Microsoft Visual Studio and the project has precompiled headers turned on, you’ll see the following error messages:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>pugixml.cpp(3477) : fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header. Did you forget to add '#include "stdafx.h"' to your source?</pre>
</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 → C/C++ → Precompiled Headers → Create/Use Precompiled Header) to "Not Using Precompiled Headers". You’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>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>It’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’re welcome to submit project files/build scripts for other software; see <a href="#overview.feedback">Feedback</a>.</p>

<p>There are two projects for each version of Microsoft Visual Studio: one for dynamically linked CRT, which has a name like <code>pugixml_vs2008.vcproj</code>, and another one for statically linked CRT, which has a name like <code>pugixml_vs2008_static.vcproj</code>. 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>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In addition to adding pugixml project to your workspace, you’ll have to make sure that your application links with pugixml library. If you’re using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008, you can add a dependency from your application project to pugixml one. If you’re using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010+, you’ll have to add a reference to your application project instead. For other IDEs/systems, consult the relevant documentation.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>It’s possible to compile pugixml as a standalone shared library. The process is usually similar to the static library approach; however, no preconfigured projects/scripts are included into pugixml distribution, so you’ll have to do it yourself. Generally, if you’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’re using MSVC-based toolchain, you’ll have to explicitly mark exported symbols with a declspec attribute. You can do it by defining <a href="#PUGIXML_API">PUGIXML_API</a> macro, i.e. via <code>pugiconfig.hpp</code>:</p>

If you’re using STL-related functions, you should use the shared runtime library to ensure that a single heap is used for STL allocations in your application and in pugixml; in MSVC, this means selecting the 'Multithreaded DLL' or 'Multithreaded Debug DLL' to 'Runtime library' property (<code>/MD</code> or <code>/MDd</code> linker switch). You should also make sure that your runtime library choice is consistent between different projects.

<div id="PUGIXML_HEADER_ONLY" class="paragraph">
<p>It’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>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Note that it is safe to compile <code>pugixml.cpp</code> if <code>PUGIXML_HEADER_ONLY</code> is defined - so if you want to i.e. use header-only mode only in Release configuration, you
can include pugixml.cpp in your project (see <a href="#install.building.embed">Building pugixml as a part of another static library/executable</a>), and conditionally enable header-only mode in <code>pugiconfig.hpp</code> like this:</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>

In absence of <code>PUGIXML_CLASS</code> or <code>PUGIXML_FUNCTION</code> definitions, <code>PUGIXML_API</code> definition is used instead. For example, to specify fixed calling convention, you can define <code>PUGIXML_FUNCTION</code> to i.e. <code>__fastcall</code>.

<p>pugixml supports various architectures, such as x86/x86-64, PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and SPARC. In general it should run on any architecture since it does not use architecture-specific code and does not rely on features such as unaligned memory access.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>pugixml can be compiled using any C++ compiler; it was tested with all versions of Microsoft Visual C++ from 6.0 up to 2015, GCC from 3.4 up to 5.2, Clang from 3.2 up to 3.7, as well as a variety of other compilers (e.g. Borland C++, Digital Mars C++, Intel C++, Metrowerks CodeWarrior and PathScale). The code is written to avoid compilation warnings even on reasonably high warning levels.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Note that some platforms may have very bare-bones support of C++; in some cases you’ll have to use <code>PUGIXML_NO_STL</code> and/or <code>PUGIXML_NO_EXCEPTIONS</code> to compile without issues. This mostly applies to old game consoles and embedded systems.</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++ 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++ I/O stream or custom transport).</p>

<h3 id="dom.tree"><a class="anchor" href="#dom.tree"></a><a class="link" href="#dom.tree">3.1. Tree structure</a></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++ type <a href="#xml_document">xml_document</a>. Document has one or more child nodes, which correspond to C++ 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++ 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><node attr="value"><child/></node></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><node> text1 <child/> text2 </node></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><node> <![CDATA[text1]]> <child/> <![CDATA[text2]]> </node></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>CDATA nodes make it easy to include non-escaped <code><</code>, <code>&</code> and <code>></code> characters in plain text. CDATA value can not contain the character sequence <code>]]></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><!-- comment text --></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><?name value?></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><?xml version="1.0"?></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><!ENTITY></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><!DOCTYPE greeting [ <!ELEMENT greeting (#PCDATA)> ]></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Here the node has value <code>"greeting [ <!ELEMENT greeting (#PCDATA)> ]"</code>. By default document type 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_doctype">parse_doctype</a> flag.</p>

All pugixml classes and functions are located in the <code>pugi</code> namespace; you have to either use explicit name qualification (i.e. <code>pugi::xml_node</code>), or to gain access to relevant symbols via <code>using</code> directive (i.e. <code>using pugi::xml_node;</code> or <code>using namespace pugi;</code>). The namespace will be omitted from all declarations in this documentation hereafter; all code examples will use fully qualified names.

<div class="paragraph">
<p>Despite the fact that there are several node types, there are only three C++ 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>
<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’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>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock caution">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="icon">
<div class="title">Caution</div>
</td>
<td class="content">
While technically node/attribute handles can be alive when the tree they’re referring to is destroyed, calling any member function for these handles results in undefined behavior. Thus it is recommended to make sure that the document is destroyed only after all references to its nodes/attributes are destroyed.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><a id="xml_node"></a><a id="xml_node::type"></a>
<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’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>
Both <code>xml_node</code> and <code>xml_attribute</code> have the default constructor which initializes them to null objects.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<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. Note that hash value does not depend on the content of the node, only on the location of the underlying structure in memory - this means that loading the same document twice will likely produce different hash values, and copying the node will not preserve the hash.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<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) { …​ }</code> or <code>if (!node) { …​ } else { …​ }</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>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="pygments highlight"><code data-lang="c++"><span class="tok-kt">bool</span> <span class="tok-n">xml_attribute</span><span class="tok-o">::</span><span class="tok-n">empty</span><span class="tok-p">()</span> <span class="tok-k">const</span><span class="tok-p">;</span>

</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Nodes and attributes do not exist without a document tree, so you can’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>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>There are two choices of interface and internal representation when configuring pugixml: you can either choose the UTF-8 (also called char) interface or UTF-16/32 (also called wchar_t) one. The choice is controlled via <a href="#PUGIXML_WCHAR_MODE">PUGIXML_WCHAR_MODE</a> define; you can set it via <code>pugiconfig.hpp</code> or via preprocessor options, as discussed in <a href="#install.building.config">Additional configuration options</a>. If this define is set, the wchar_t interface is used; otherwise (by default) the char interface is used.

There is a special type, <code>pugi::char_t</code>, that is defined as the character type and depends on the library configuration; it will be also used in the documentation hereafter. There is also a type <code>pugi::string_t</code>, which is defined as the STL string of the character type; it corresponds to <code>std::string</code> in char mode and to <code>std::wstring</code> in wchar_t mode.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In addition to the interface, the internal implementation changes to store XML data as <code>pugi::char_t</code>; this means that these two modes have different memory usage characteristics - generally UTF-8 mode is more memory and performance efficient, especially if <code>sizeof(wchar_t)</code> is 4. The conversion to <code>pugi::char_t</code> upon document loading and from <code>pugi::char_t</code> upon document saving happen automatically, which also carries minor performance penalty. The general advice however is to select the character mode based on usage scenario, i.e. if UTF-8 is inconvenient to process and most of your XML data is non-ASCII, wchar_t mode is probably a better choice.</p>

<div class="paragraph">

<div class="paragraph">
<p>Both functions accept a null-terminated string as an argument <code>str</code>, and return the converted string. <code>as_utf8</code> performs conversion from UTF-16/32 to UTF-8; <code>as_wide</code> performs conversion from UTF-8 to UTF-16/32. Invalid UTF sequences are silently discarded upon conversion. <code>str</code> has to be a valid string; passing null pointer results in undefined behavior.

A minimum size of 1 Kb is recommended.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>PUGIXML_MEMORY_OUTPUT_STACK</code> controls the cumulative stack space required to output the node. Any output operation (i.e. saving a subtree to file) uses an internal buffering scheme for performance reasons. The default size is 10 Kb; if you’re using node output from threads with little stack space, decreasing this value can prevent stack overflows. A minimum size of 1 Kb is recommended.</p>

<p><code>PUGIXML_MEMORY_XPATH_PAGE_SIZE</code> controls the page size for XPath memory allocation. Memory for XPath query objects as well as internal memory for XPath evaluation is allocated in pages of the specified size.

<p>Constructing a document object using the default constructor does not result in any allocations; document node is stored inside the <a href="#xml_document">xml_document</a> object.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When the document is loaded from file/buffer, unless an inplace loading function is used (see <a href="#loading.memory">Loading document from memory</a>), a complete copy of character stream is made; all names/values of nodes and attributes are allocated in this buffer. This buffer is allocated via a single large allocation and is only freed when document memory is reclaimed (i.e. if the <a href="#xml_document">xml_document</a> object is destroyed or if another document is loaded in the same object). Also when loading from file or stream, an additional large allocation may be performed if encoding conversion is required; a temporary buffer is allocated, and it is freed before load function returns.</p>

<p>All additional memory, such as memory for document structure (node/attribute objects) and memory for node/attribute names/values is allocated in pages on the order of 32 Kb; actual objects are allocated inside the pages using a memory management scheme optimized for fast allocation/deallocation of many small objects. 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>

<h4 id="dom.memory.compact"><a class="anchor" href="#dom.memory.compact"></a><a class="link" href="#dom.memory.compact">3.6.4. Compact mode</a></h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>By default nodes and attributes are optimized for efficiency of access. This can cause them to take a significant amount of memory - for documents with a lot of nodes and not a lot of contents (short attribute values/node text), and depending on the pointer size, the document structure can take noticeably more memory than the document itself (e.g. on a 64-bit platform in UTF-8 mode a markup-heavy document with the file size of 2.1 Mb can use 2.1 Mb for document buffer and 8.3 Mb for document structure).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you are processing big documents or your platform is memory constrained and you’re willing to sacrifice a bit of performance for memory, you can compile pugixml with <code>PUGIXML_COMPACT</code> define which will activate compact mode. Compact mode uses a different representation of the document structure that assumes locality of reference between nodes and attributes to optimize memory usage. As a result you get significantly smaller node/attribute objects; usually most objects in most documents don’t require additional storage, but in the worst case - if assumptions about locality of reference don’t hold - additional memory will be allocated to store the extra data required.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The compact storage supports all existing operations - including tree modification - with the same amortized complexity (that is, all basic document manipulations are still O(1) on average). The operations are slightly slower; you can usually expect 10-50% slowdown in terms of processing time unless your processing was memory-bound.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>On 32-bit architectures document structure in compact mode is typically reduced by around 2.5x; on 64-bit architectures the ratio is around 5x. Thus for big markup-heavy documents compact mode can make the difference between the processing of a multi-gigabyte document running completely from RAM vs requiring swapping to disk. Even if the document fits into memory, compact storage can use CPU caches more efficiently by taking less space and causing less cache/TLB misses.</p>

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>pugixml provides several functions for loading XML data from various places - files, C++ 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’s a strict subset of UTF-16) as well as some non-Unicode encodings (Latin-1) and handles all encoding conversions automatically. Unless explicit encoding is specified, loading functions perform automatic encoding detection based on source XML data, so in most cases you do not have to specify document encoding. Encoding conversion is described in more detail in <a href="#loading.encoding">Encodings</a>.</p>

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>).

</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’s lifetime exceeds that of the tree if you’re using inplace functions. In addition to that, <code>load_buffer_inplace</code> does not assume ownership of the buffer, so you’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’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>It is equivalent to calling <code>load_buffer</code> with <code>size</code> being either <code>strlen(contents)</code> or <code>wcslen(contents) * sizeof(wchar_t)</code>, depending on the character type.

<p><code>load</code> with <code>std::istream</code> argument loads the document from stream from the current read position to the end, treating the stream contents as a byte stream of the specified encoding (with encoding autodetection as necessary). Thus calling <code>xml_document::load</code> on an opened <code>std::ifstream</code> object is equivalent to calling <code>xml_document::load_file</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><code>load</code> with <code>std::wstream</code> argument treats the stream contents as a wide character stream (encoding is always <a href="#encoding_wchar">encoding_wchar</a>). Because of this, using <code>load</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 the ability to load documents from non-Unicode encodings, i.e. you can load Shift-JIS encoded data if you set the correct locale.</p>

<ul>
<li>
<p><a id="status_ok"></a><code>status_ok</code> means that no error was encountered during parsing; the source stream represents the valid XML document which was fully parsed and converted to a tree.</p>

<li>
<p><a id="status_file_not_found"></a><code>status_file_not_found</code> is only returned by <code>load_file</code> function and means that file could not be opened.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a id="status_io_error"></a><code>status_io_error</code> is returned by <code>load_file</code> function and by <code>load</code> functions with <code>std::istream</code>/<code>std::wstream</code> arguments; it means that some I/O error has occurred during reading the file/stream.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a id="status_out_of_memory"></a><code>status_out_of_memory</code> means that there was not enough memory during some allocation; any allocation failure during parsing results in this error.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a id="status_internal_error"></a><code>status_internal_error</code> means that something went horribly wrong; currently this error does not occur</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a id="status_unrecognized_tag"></a><code>status_unrecognized_tag</code> means that parsing stopped due to a tag with either an empty name or a name which starts with incorrect character, such as <code>#</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a id="status_bad_pi"></a><code>status_bad_pi</code> means that parsing stopped due to incorrect document declaration/processing instruction</p>

<li>
<p><a id="status_bad_start_element"></a><code>status_bad_start_element</code> means that parsing stopped because starting tag either had no closing <code>></code> symbol or contained some incorrect symbol</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a id="status_bad_attribute"></a><code>status_bad_attribute</code> means that parsing stopped because there was an incorrect attribute, such as an attribute without value or with value that is not quoted (note that <code><node attr=1></code> is incorrect in XML)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a id="status_bad_end_element"></a><code>status_bad_end_element</code> means that parsing stopped because ending tag had incorrect syntax (i.e. extra non-whitespace symbols between tag name and <code>></code>)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a id="status_end_element_mismatch"></a><code>status_end_element_mismatch</code> means that parsing stopped because the closing tag did not match the opening one (i.e. <code><node></nedo></code>) or because some tag was not closed at all</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a id="status_no_document_element"></a><code>status_no_document_element</code> means that no element nodes were discovered during parsing; this usually indicates an empty or invalid document</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="xml_parse_result::description" class="paragraph">
<p><code>description()</code> member function can be used to convert parsing status to a string; the returned message is always in English, so you’ll have to write your own function if you need a localized string. However please note that the exact messages returned by <code>description()</code> function may change from version to version, so any complex status handling should be based on <code>status</code> value. Note that <code>description()</code> returns a <code>char</code> string even in <code>PUGIXML_WCHAR_MODE</code>; you’ll have to call <a href="#as_wide">as_wide</a> to get the <code>wchar_t</code> string.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If parsing failed because the source data was not a valid XML, the resulting tree is not destroyed - despite the fact that load function returns error, you can use the part of the tree that was successfully parsed. Obviously, the last element may have an unexpected name/value; for example, if the attribute value does not end with the necessary quotation mark, like in <code><node attr="value>some data</node></code> example, the value of attribute <code>attr</code> will contain the string <code>value>some data</node></code>.</p>
</div>
<div id="xml_parse_result::offset" class="paragraph">
<p>In addition to the status code, parsing result has an <code>offset</code> member, which contains the offset of last successfully parsed character if parsing failed because of an error in source data; otherwise <code>offset</code> is 0. For parsing efficiency reasons, pugixml does not track the current line during parsing; this offset is in units of <a href="#char_t">pugi::char_t</a> (bytes for character mode, wide characters for wide character mode). Many text editors support 'Go To Position' feature - you can use it to locate the exact error position. Alternatively, if you’re loading the document from memory, you can display the error chunk along with the error description (see the example code below).</p>

<div id="xml_parse_result::encoding" class="paragraph">
<p>Parsing result also has an <code>encoding</code> member, which can be used to check that the source data encoding was correctly guessed. It is equal to the exact encoding used during parsing (i.e. with the exact endianness); see <a href="#loading.encoding">Encodings</a> for more information.</p>
</div>
<div id="xml_parse_result::bool" class="paragraph">
<p>Parsing result object can be implicitly converted to <code>bool</code>; if you do not want to handle parsing errors thoroughly, you can just check the return value of load functions as if it was a <code>bool</code>: <code>if (doc.load_file("file.xml")) { …​ } else { …​ }</code>.</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’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>

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><node> <a/> </node></code>, <code><node></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.

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><node> <a> </a> </node></code> with <code>parse_ws_pcdata_single</code> flag set, <code><node></code> element will have one child <code><a></code>, and <code><a></code> element will have one child with type <a href="#node_pcdata">node_pcdata</a> and value <code>" "</code>. This flag has no effect if <a href="#parse_ws_pcdata">parse_ws_pcdata</a> is enabled. This flag is <strong>off</strong> by default.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a id="parse_embed_pcdata"></a><code>parse_embed_pcdata</code> determines if PCDATA contents is to be saved as element values. Normally element nodes have names but not values; this flag forces the parser to store the contents as a value if PCDATA is the first child of the element node (otherwise PCDATA node is created as usual). This can significantly reduce the memory required for documents with many PCDATA nodes. To retrieve the data you can use <code>xml_node::value()</code> on the element nodes or any of the higher-level functions like <code>child_value</code> or <code>text</code>. This flag is <strong>off</strong> by default.
Since this flag significantly changes the DOM structure it is only recommended for parsing documents with many PCDATA nodes in memory-constrained environments. This flag is <strong>off</strong> by default.</p>
</li>
<li>
<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. This flag is <strong>off</strong> by default.</p>

Using in-place parsing (<a href="#xml_document::load_buffer_inplace">load_buffer_inplace</a>) with <code>parse_fragment</code> flag may result in the loss of the last character of the buffer if it is a part of PCDATA. Since PCDATA values are null-terminated strings, the only way to resolve this is to provide a null-terminated buffer as an input to <code>load_buffer_inplace</code> - i.e. <code>doc.load_buffer_inplace("test\0", 5, pugi::parse_default | pugi::parse_fragment)</code>.

<p>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’s a strict subset of UTF-16) as well as some non-Unicode encodings (Latin-1) and handles all encoding conversions. Most loading functions accept the optional parameter <code>encoding</code>. This is a value of enumeration type <code>xml_encoding</code>, that can have the following values:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p><a id="encoding_auto"></a><code>encoding_auto</code> means that pugixml will try to guess the encoding based on source XML data. The algorithm is a modified version of the one presented in <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-guessing">Appendix F of XML recommendation</a>. It tries to find a Byte Order Mark of one of the supported encodings first; if that fails, it checks if the first few bytes of the input data look like a representation of <code><</code> or <code><?</code> in one of UTF-16 or UTF-32 variants; if that fails as well, encoding is assumed to be either UTF-8 or one of the non-Unicode encodings - to make the final decision the algorithm tries to parse the <code>encoding</code> attribute of the XML document declaration, ultimately falling back to UTF-8 if document declaration is not present or does not specify a supported encoding.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a id="encoding_utf8"></a><code>encoding_utf8</code> corresponds to UTF-8 encoding as defined in the Unicode standard; UTF-8 sequences with length equal to 5 or 6 are not standard and are rejected.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a id="encoding_utf16_le"></a><code>encoding_utf16_le</code> corresponds to little-endian UTF-16 encoding as defined in the Unicode standard; surrogate pairs are supported.</p>

<li>
<p><a id="encoding_latin1"></a><code>encoding_latin1</code> corresponds to ISO-8859-1 encoding (also known as Latin-1).</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>

If your C++ compiler supports range-based for-loop (this is a C++11 feature, at the time of writing it’s supported by Microsoft Visual Studio 2012+, GCC 4.6+ and Clang 3.0+), you can use it to enumerate nodes/attributes. Additional helpers are provided to support this; note that they are also compatible with <a href="http://www.boost.org/libs/foreach/">Boost Foreach</a>, and possibly other pre-C++11 foreach facilities.</p>

<p><code>begin</code> and <code>attributes_begin</code> return iterators that point to the first node/attribute, respectively; <code>end</code> and <code>attributes_end</code> return past-the-end iterator for node/attribute list, respectively - this iterator can’t be dereferenced, but decrementing it results in an iterator pointing to the last element in the list (except for empty lists, where decrementing past-the-end iterator results in undefined behavior). 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’ll have to provide both an attribute and its parent node.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><code>begin</code> and <code>end</code> return equal iterators if called on null node; such iterators can’t be dereferenced. <code>attributes_begin</code> and <code>attributes_end</code> behave the same way. For correct iterator usage this means that child node/attribute collections of null nodes appear to be empty.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<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’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’s stored in the iterator.

The traversal is launched by calling <code>traverse</code> function on traversal root and proceeds as follows:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>First, <code>begin</code> function is called with traversal root as its argument.</p>

</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If <code>begin</code>, <code>end</code> or any of the <code>for_each</code> calls return <code>false</code>, the traversal is terminated and <code>false</code> is returned as the traversal result; otherwise, the traversal results in <code>true</code>. Note that you don’t have to override <code>begin</code> or <code>end</code> functions; their default implementations return <code>true</code>.</p>

<p>You can get the node’s depth relative to the traversal root at any point by calling <code>depth</code> function.

<div id="xml_text" class="paragraph">
<p>It is common to store data as text contents of some node - i.e. <code><node><description>This is a node</description></node></code>. In this case, <code><description></code> node does not have a value, but instead has a child of type <a href="#node_pcdata">node_pcdata</a> with value <code>"This is a node"</code>. pugixml provides a special class, <code>xml_text</code>, to work with such data. Working with text objects to modify data is described in <a href="#modify.text">the documentation for modifying document data</a>; this section describes the access interface of <code>xml_text</code>.</p>

<p>If the node has a type <code>node_pcdata</code> or <code>node_cdata</code>, then the node itself is used to return data; otherwise, a first child node of type <code>node_pcdata</code> or <code>node_cdata</code> is used.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><a id="xml_text::empty"></a><a id="xml_text::unspecified_bool_type"></a>
You can check if the text object is bound to a valid PCDATA/CDATA node by using it as a boolean value, i.e. <code>if (text) { …​ }</code> or <code>if (!text) { …​ }</code>. Alternatively you can check it by using the <code>empty()</code> method:</p>

<p>Node paths consist of node names, separated with a delimiter (which is <code>/</code> by default); also paths can contain self (<code>.</code>) and parent (<code>..</code>) pseudo-names, so that this is a valid path: <code>"../../foo/./bar"</code>. <code>path</code> returns the path to the node from the document root, <code>first_element_by_path</code> looks for a node represented by a given path; a path can be an absolute one (absolute paths start with the delimiter), in which case the rest of the path is treated as document root relative, and relative to the given node. For example, in the following document: <code><a><b><c/></b></a></code>, node <code><c/></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><b/></code>; calling <code>first_element_by_path</code> for node <code><a/></code> with path <code>"../a/./b/../."</code> results in node <code><a/></code>; calling <code>first_element_by_path</code> with path <code>"/a"</code> results in node <code><a/></code> for any node.</p>

<p>In case path component is ambiguous (if there are two nodes with given name), the first one is selected; paths are not guaranteed to uniquely identify nodes in a document.

<p>pugixml does not record row/column information for nodes upon parsing for efficiency reasons. However, if the node has not changed in a significant way since parsing (the name/value are not changed, and the node itself is the original one, i.e. it was not deleted from the tree and re-added later), it is possible to get the offset from the beginning of XML buffer:</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<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>
<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& n) { pugi::xml_node nc = n; }</code>, so const-correctness here mainly provides additional documentation.</p>

As discussed before, nodes can have name and value, both of which are strings.

<p><code>remove_attribute</code> removes the attribute from the attribute list of the node, and returns the operation result. <code>remove_child</code> removes the child node with the entire subtree (including all descendant nodes and attributes) from the document, and returns the operation result. Removing fails if one of the following is true:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>The node the function is called on is null;</p>
</li>
<li>

<p>The attribute/node to be removed is not in the node’s attribute/child list.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>Removing the attribute or node invalidates all handles to the same underlying object, and also invalidates all iterators pointing to the same object. Removing node also invalidates all past-the-end iterators to its attribute or child node list. Be careful to ensure that all such handles and iterators either do not exist or are not used after the attribute/node is removed.</p>

<p>These functions look for the first attribute or child with the specified name, and then remove it, returning the result. If there is no attribute or child with such name, the function returns <code>false</code>; if there are two nodes with the given name, only the first node is deleted. If you want to delete all nodes with the specified name, you can use code like this: <code>while (node.remove_child("tool")) ;</code>.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>pugixml provides a special class, <code>xml_text</code>, to work with text contents stored as a value of some node, i.e. <code><node><description>This is a node</description></node></code>. Working with text objects to retrieve data is described in <a href="#access.text">the documentation for accessing document data</a>; this section describes the modification interface of <code>xml_text</code>.</p>

<p>This function tries to set the contents to the specified string, and returns the operation result. The operation fails if the text object was retrieved from a node that can not have a value and is not an element node (i.e. it is a <a href="#node_declaration">node_declaration</a> node), if the text object is empty, or if there is insufficient memory to handle the request. The provided string is copied into document managed memory and can be destroyed after the function returns (for example, you can safely pass stack-allocated buffers to this function). Note that if the text object was retrieved from an element node, this function creates the PCDATA child node if necessary (i.e. if the element node does not have a PCDATA/CDATA child already).</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’t create a standalone copy - you have to immediately insert it somewhere in the tree. For this, you can use one of the following functions:</p>

Sometimes instead of cloning a node you need to move an existing node to a different position in a tree. This can be accomplished by copying the node and removing the original; however, this is expensive since it results in a lot of extra operations.

<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’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>
<div id="status_append_invalid_root" class="paragraph">
<p>Since <code>append_buffer</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>append_buffer</code> on a node with any other type results in an error with <code>status_append_invalid_root</code> status.</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><</code> and <code>&</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>"]]>"</code> are split into several sections as follows: section with value <code>"pre]]>post"</code> is written as <code><![CDATA[pre]]]]><![CDATA[>post]]></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>

<p><code>save</code> with <code>std::ostream</code> argument saves the document to the stream in the same way as <code>save_file</code> (i.e. with requested header and with encoding conversions). 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>

<li>
<p><a id="format_indent"></a><code>format_indent</code> determines if all nodes should be indented with the indentation string (this is an additional parameter for all saving functions, and is <code>"\t"</code> by default). If this flag is on, the indentation string is printed several times before every node, where the amount of indentation depends on the node’s depth relative to the output subtree. This flag has no effect if <a href="#format_raw">format_raw</a> is enabled. This flag is <strong>on</strong> by default.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a id="format_indent_attributes"></a><code>format_indent_attributes</code> determines if all attributes should be printed on a new line, indented with the indentation string according to the attribute’s depth. This flag implies <a href="#format_indent">format_indent</a>. This flag has no effect if <a href="#format_raw">format_raw</a> is enabled. This flag is <strong>off</strong> by default.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a id="format_raw"></a><code>format_raw</code> switches between formatted and raw output. If this flag is on, the nodes are not indented in any way, and also no newlines that are not part of document text are printed. Raw mode can be used for serialization where the result is not intended to be read by humans; also it can be useful if the document was parsed with <a href="#parse_ws_pcdata">parse_ws_pcdata</a> flag, to preserve the original document formatting as much as possible. This flag is <strong>off</strong> by default.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a id="format_no_escapes"></a><code>format_no_escapes</code> disables output escaping for attribute values and PCDATA contents. If this flag is off, special symbols (<code>"</code>, <code>&</code>, <code><</code>, <code>></code>) and all non-printable characters (those with codepoint values less than 32) are converted to XML escape sequences (i.e. <code>&amp;</code>) during output. If this flag is on, no text processing is performed; therefore, output XML can be malformed if output contents contains invalid symbols (i.e. having a stray <code><</code> in the PCDATA will make the output malformed). This flag is <strong>off</strong> by default.</p>

By default, if the document is saved via <code>save</code> or <code>save_file</code> function, and it does not have any document declaration, a default declaration is output before the document contents. Enabling this flag disables this declaration. This flag has no effect in <code>xml_node::print</code> functions: they never output the default declaration. This flag is <strong>off</strong> by default.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a id="format_write_bom"></a><code>format_write_bom</code> enables Byte Order Mark (BOM) output. By default, no BOM is output, so in case of non UTF-8 encodings the resulting document’s encoding may not be recognized by some parsers and text editors, if they do not implement sophisticated encoding detection. Enabling this flag adds an encoding-specific BOM to the output. This flag has no effect in <code>xml_node::print</code> functions: they never output the BOM. This flag is <strong>off</strong> by default.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a id="format_save_file_text"></a><code>format_save_file_text</code> changes the file mode when using <code>save_file</code> function. By default, file is opened in binary mode, which means that the output file will
contain platform-independent newline <code>\n</code> (ASCII 10). If this flag is on, file is opened in text mode, which on some systems changes the newline format (i.e. on Windows you can use this flag to output XML documents with <code>\r\n</code> (ASCII 13 10) newlines.

<div class="paragraph">
<p>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’s a strict subset of UTF-16) and handles all encoding conversions during output. 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>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<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>

<p><a id="xpath_node"></a><a id="xpath_node::node"></a><a id="xpath_node::attribute"></a><a id="xpath_node::parent"></a>
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>

<div id="xpath_node::ctor" class="paragraph">
<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’t need to create your own XPath node objects, since they are returned to you via selection functions.</p>
</div>
<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. Document order is defined in XPath specification; an XPath node is before another node in document order if it appears before it in XML representation of the corresponding document.</p>

Node sets are represented by <code>xpath_node_set</code> object, which has an interface that resembles one of sequential random-access containers. It has an iterator type along with usual begin/past-the-end iterator accessors:</p>

While compiling expressions is fast, the compilation time can introduce a significant overhead if the same expression is used many times on small subtrees. If you’re doing many similar queries, consider compiling them into query objects (see <a href="#xpath.query">Using query objects</a> for further reference).

<div class="paragraph">
<p>Because of the differences in document object models, performance considerations and implementation complexity, pugixml does not provide a fully conformant XPath 1.0 implementation. This is the current list of incompatibilities:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>Consecutive text nodes sharing the same parent are not merged, i.e. in <code><node>text1 <![CDATA[data]]> text2</node></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>
<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><foo xmlns:ns1='uri' xmlns:ns2='uri'><ns1:child/><ns2:child/></foo></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>
