## Functions

### mxmlAdd

Add a node to a tree.

void mxmlAdd (
mxml_node_t *parent,
int where,
mxml_node_t *child,
mxml_node_t *node
);

#### Parameters

parent
  Parent node
where
  Where to add, MXML_ADD_BEFORE or MXML_ADD_AFTER
child
  Child node for where or MXML_ADD_TO_PARENT
node
  Node to add

#### Discussion

Adds the specified node to the parent. If the child argument is not NULL, puts the new node before or after the specified child depending on the value of the where argument. If the child argument is NULL, puts the new node at the beginning of the child list (MXML_ADD_BEFORE) or at the end of the child list (MXML_ADD_AFTER). The constant MXML_ADD_TO_PARENT can be used to specify a NULL child pointer.

### mxmlDelete

Delete a node and all of its children.

void mxmlDelete (
mxml_node_t *node
);

#### Parameters

node
  Node to delete

#### Discussion

If the specified node has a parent, this function first removes the node from its parent using the mxmlRemove() function.

### Mini-XML 2.4 mxmlElementDeleteAttr

Delete an attribute.

void mxmlElementDeleteAttr (
mxml_node_t *node,
const char *name
);

#### Parameters

node
  Element
name
  Attribute name

### mxmlElementGetAttr

Get an attribute.

const char *mxmlElementGetAttr (
mxml_node_t *node,
const char *name
);

#### Parameters

node
  Element node
name
  Name of attribute

#### Return Value

Attribute value or NULL

#### Discussion

This function returns NULL if the node is not an element or the named attribute does not exist.

### mxmlElementSetAttr

Set an attribute.

void mxmlElementSetAttr (
mxml_node_t *node,
const char *name,
const char *value
);

#### Parameters

node
  Element node
name
  Name of attribute
value
  Attribute value

#### Discussion

If the named attribute already exists, the value of the attribute is replaced by the new string value. The string value is copied into the element node. This function does nothing if the node is not an element.

### Mini-XML 2.3 mxmlElementSetAttrf

Set an attribute with a formatted value.

void mxmlElementSetAttrf (
mxml_node_t *node,
const char *name,
const char *format,
...
);

#### Parameters

node
  Element node
name
  Name of attribute
format
  Printf-style attribute value
...
  Additional arguments as needed

#### Discussion

If the named attribute already exists, the value of the attribute is replaced by the new formatted string. The formatted string value is copied into the element node. This function does nothing if the node is not an element.

### mxmlEntityAddCallback

Add a callback to convert entities to Unicode.

int mxmlEntityAddCallback (
mxml_entity_cb_t cb
);

#### Parameters

cb
  Callback function to add

#### Return Value

0 on success, -1 on failure

### mxmlEntityGetName

Get the name that corresponds to the character value.

const char *mxmlEntityGetName (
int val
);

#### Parameters

val
  Character value

#### Return Value

Entity name or NULL

#### Discussion

If val does not need to be represented by a named entity, NULL is returned.

### mxmlEntityGetValue

Get the character corresponding to a named entity.

int mxmlEntityGetValue (
const char *name
);

#### Parameters

name
  Entity name

#### Return Value

Character value or -1 on error

#### Discussion

The entity name can also be a numeric constant. -1 is returned if the name is not known.

### mxmlEntityRemoveCallback

Remove a callback.

void mxmlEntityRemoveCallback (
mxml_entity_cb_t cb
);

#### Parameters

cb
  Callback function to remove

### mxmlFindElement

Find the named element.

mxml_node_t *mxmlFindElement (
mxml_node_t *node,
mxml_node_t *top,
const char *name,
const char *attr,
const char *value,
int descend
);

#### Parameters

node
  Current node
top
  Top node
name
  Element name or NULL for any
attr
  Attribute name, or NULL for none
value
  Attribute value, or NULL for any
descend
  Descend into tree - MXML_DESCEND, MXML_NO_DESCEND, or MXML_DESCEND_FIRST

#### Return Value

Element node or NULL

#### Discussion

The search is constrained by the name, attribute name, and value; any NULL names or values are treated as wildcards, so different kinds of searches can be implemented by looking for all elements of a given name or all elements with a specific attribute. The descend argument determines whether the search descends into child nodes; normally you will use MXML_DESCEND_FIRST for the initial search and MXML_NO_DESCEND to find additional direct descendents of the node. The top node argument constrains the search to a particular node's children.

### mxmlIndexDelete

Delete an index.

void mxmlIndexDelete (
mxml_index_t *ind
);

#### Parameters

ind
  Index to delete

### mxmlIndexEnum

Return the next node in the index.

mxml_node_t *mxmlIndexEnum (
mxml_index_t *ind
);

#### Parameters

ind
  Index to enumerate

#### Return Value

Next node or NULL if there is none

#### Discussion

Nodes are returned in the sorted order of the index.

### mxmlIndexFind

Find the next matching node.

mxml_node_t *mxmlIndexFind (
mxml_index_t *ind,
const char *element,
const char *value
);

#### Parameters

ind
  Index to search
element
  Element name to find, if any
value
  Attribute value, if any

#### Return Value

Node or NULL if none found

#### Discussion

You should call mxmlIndexReset() prior to using this function for the first time with a particular set of "element" and "value" strings. Passing NULL for both "element" and "value" is equivalent to calling mxmlIndexEnum().

### mxmlIndexNew

Create a new index.

mxml_index_t *mxmlIndexNew (
mxml_node_t *node,
const char *element,
const char *attr
);

#### Parameters

node
  XML node tree
element
  Element to index or NULL for all
attr
  Attribute to index or NULL for none

#### Return Value

New index

#### Discussion

The index will contain all nodes that contain the named element and/or attribute. If both "element" and "attr" are NULL, then the index will contain a sorted list of the elements in the node tree. Nodes are sorted by element name and optionally by attribute value if the "attr" argument is not NULL.

### mxmlIndexReset

Reset the enumeration/find pointer in the index and return the first node in the index.

mxml_node_t *mxmlIndexReset (
mxml_index_t *ind
);

#### Parameters

ind
  Index to reset

#### Return Value

First node or NULL if there is none

#### Discussion

This function should be called prior to using mxmlIndexEnum() or mxmlIndexFind() for the first time.

The callback function returns the value type that should be used for child nodes. If MXML_NO_CALLBACK is specified then all child nodes will be either MXML_ELEMENT or MXML_TEXT nodes.
The constants MXML_INTEGER_CALLBACK, MXML_OPAQUE_CALLBACK, MXML_REAL_CALLBACK, and MXML_TEXT_CALLBACK are defined for loading child nodes of the specified type.

int descend
);

#### Parameters

node
  Current node
top
  Top node
descend
  Descend into tree - MXML_DESCEND, MXML_NO_DESCEND, or MXML_DESCEND_FIRST

#### Return Value

Next node or NULL

#### Discussion

The descend argument controls whether the first child is considered to be the next node. The top node argument constrains the walk to the node's children.

### mxmlWalkPrev

Walk to the previous logical node in the tree.

mxml_node_t *mxmlWalkPrev (
mxml_node_t *node,
mxml_node_t *top,
int descend
);

#### Parameters

node
  Current node
top
  Top node
descend
  Descend into tree - MXML_DESCEND, MXML_NO_DESCEND, or MXML_DESCEND_FIRST

#### Return Value

Previous node or NULL

#### Discussion

The descend argument controls whether the previous node's last child is considered to be the previous node. The top node argument constrains the walk to the node's children.
