antxml

An XML parser written in C++.

This library is no longer in development but was used to parse and interpret data such as User Interface structures stored in XML for my C++ projects.

Compiling

To compile the source code, it is recommended to use the Code::Blocks project included in this repository. This library has only been tested in Windows environments.

Documentation

Documentation can be found in the GitHub pages for this project.

Example Usage

In this example, this library is used to initialise a set of settings from an XML file.

Settings.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Settings>
	<Fullscreen />
	<Resolution>800x600</Resolution>
	<BitsPerPixel>32</BitsPerPixel>
	<GameSpeed>25</GameSpeed>
	<FrameSkip>5</FrameSkip>
</Settings>

Main.cpp

#include <antxml/antxml.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    //Initialize variables
    bool Fullscreen = false;
    int Width = 0;
    int Height = 0;
    int BitsPerPixel = 0;
    int Speed = 0;

    //Initialize a file
    antxml::File File;
    string Location = "Settings.xml";

    //File parser returns 0 on failure, 1 on success.
    if (File.Parse(Location, "Settings")) {
        //Tag loop
        while (File.HasTags()) {
            antxml::Tag &Tag = File.GetTag();
            const string &Name = Tag.GetName();
            const int &Trigger = Tag.GetTrigger();
            const string &Text = Tag.GetText();

            //Tag Handler
            if (Name == "Fullscreen" && Trigger == antxml::Trigger::OpenClose) {
                Fullscreen = true;
            } else if (Name == "BitsPerPixel" && Trigger == antxml::Trigger::Open) {
                BitsPerPixel = antxml::String2<int>(Text);
            } else if (Name == "Resolution" && Trigger == antxml::Trigger::Open) {
                Width = antxml::String2<int>(Text, 'x');
                Height = antxml::String2<int>(Text, 'x', antxml::Trigger::Open);
            } else if (Name == "GameSpeed" && Trigger == antxml::Trigger::Open) {
                Speed = antxml::String2<int>(Text);
            }
        }

        //Verify results
        if (Fullscreen) {
            cout << "Launch game in fullscreen mode" << endl;
        } else {
            cout << "Launch game in window mode." << endl;
        }

        cout << "Rendering resolution: " << Width << "x" << Height << endl;
        cout << "Bits per pixel: " << BitsPerPixel << endl;
        cout << "Game speed: " << Speed << endl;
    }
    return 0;
