## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## TextReader() [1/3]

xmlpp::TextReader::TextReader | ( | struct _xmlTextReader * | cobj | ) |

Wraps a TextReader object from an underlying libxml object.

The TextReader takes ownership of cobj.

Parameters

  cobj | The underlying libxml xmlTextReader object.

## TextReader() [2/3]

xmlpp::TextReader::TextReader | ( | const ustring & | URI | ) |

Creates a new TextReader object to parse a file or URI.

Parameters

  URI | The URI to read.

Exceptions

  xmlpp::internal_error | If an xmlTextReader object cannot be created.

## TextReader() [3/3]

xmlpp::TextReader::TextReader | ( | const unsigned char * | data,
|  | size_type | size,
|  | const ustring & | uri = ustring() )

Creates a new TextReader object which parses in memory data.

Parameters

  data | The data to parse.
  size | The number of bytes in data.
  uri | The base URI to use for the document.

Exceptions

  xmlpp::internal_error | If an xmlTextReader object cannot be created.

## ~TextReader()

xmlpp::TextReader::~TextReader | ( |  | ) |

override

## Member Function Documentation

## close()

void xmlpp::TextReader::close | ( |  | ) |

## expand()

Node * xmlpp::TextReader::expand | ( |  | ) |

Expand the current node.

Reads the contents of the current node and the full subtree. It then makes the subtree available until the next call to read() or next().

Warning
  The C++ wrappers are not deleted. Using this method causes memory leaks, unless you call xmlpp::Node::free_wrappers(), which is not intended to be called by the application.

Returns
  A pointer to the current node, or `nullptr` in case of error.

Exceptions

  xmlpp::parse_error |
  xmlpp::validity_error |

## get_attribute() [1/3]

ustring xmlpp::TextReader::get_attribute | ( | const ustring & | local_name,
|  | const ustring & | ns_uri ) const

## get_attribute() [2/3]

ustring xmlpp::TextReader::get_attribute | ( | const ustring & | name | ) | const

## get_attribute() [3/3]

ustring xmlpp::TextReader::get_attribute | ( | int | number | ) | const

## get_attribute_count()

int xmlpp::TextReader::get_attribute_count | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the number of attributes on the current node.

Returns
  The number of attributes on the current node, or zero if the current node does not support attributes, or -1 in case of error.

Exceptions

  xmlpp::parse_error |
  xmlpp::validity_error |

## get_base_uri()

ustring xmlpp::TextReader::get_base_uri | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the base Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the current node.

Returns
  The base URI of the current node or an empty ustring if not available.

## get_current_node() [1/2]

Node * xmlpp::TextReader::get_current_node | ( |  | ) |

Get a pointer to the current node.

Warning
  This is dangerous because the underlying node may be destroyed on the next read. The C++ wrapper is not deleted. Using this method causes memory leaks, unless you call xmlpp::Node::free_wrappers(), which is not intended to be called by the application.

Returns
  A pointer to the current node, or `nullptr` in case of error.

## get_current_node() [2/2]

const Node * xmlpp::TextReader::get_current_node | ( |  | ) | const

Get a pointer to the current node.

Warning
  See the non-const get_current_node().

Returns
  A pointer to the current node, or `nullptr` in case of error.

## get_depth()

int xmlpp::TextReader::get_depth | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the depth of the current node in the XML document.

Returns
  The depth of the current node in the XML document, or -1 in case of error.

## get_local_name()

ustring xmlpp::TextReader::get_local_name | ( |  | ) | const

## get_name()

  xmlpp::parse_error |
  xmlpp::validity_error |

## get_normalization()

## get_quote_char()

char xmlpp::TextReader::get_quote_char | ( |  | ) | const
