Hello,
I read[1] that XmlTextReader interface is based on .NET XmlReader
class. I like XmlTextReader but can't find a way to perform a pattern
I often use in .NET: create a XmlReader of a subtree at any point of
the document. In .NET I do this to perform manual XML deserialization:
-------------------------------------------
reader.MoveToContent();
while (reader.Read())
{
reader.MoveToElement();
switch (reader.Name)
{
case XML_ELEM_NAME:
_Name = reader.ReadString();
break;
case XML_ELEM_SIZE:
_Size = new Vector3D();
_Size.Deserialize(reader.ReadSubtree()); // <--------
break;
// ...
-------------------------------------------
To explain, when I find the element "SIZE", I create a new XmlReader
with the entire subtree so I can continue parsing the subtree in a
different function using the *same* api. With libxml2 XmlTextReader I
couln't find a way to do the same: I found xmlTextReaderExpand() that
return a node to the current subtree but is it possible to use
XmlTextReader api given a xmlNodePtr? To summarize: I'd like to use
XmlTextReader api in a subtree (and just in that subtree) but don't
know how to do it.
Thanks!
Sven
