Program with DOM in C/C++
This tutorial is intended for C/C++ developers interested in writing XML applications using the DOM APIs as implemented in Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) 5.0 for Microsoft Office. It includes a series of simple examples written in C and tested using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. The objective is to provide a quick and practical orientation, so that you can start to write your own XML applications.
These demonstrations are task-oriented, and are simplified for clarity. Therefore, their implementation is not always optimized.
This tutorial consists of the following demonstrations.
How Do I? | Description |
---|---|
Get Ready to Work with MSXML (C/C++) | Discusses the requirements for using MSXML, and describes how to install the MXSML components. |
Set Up My Visual C++ Project | Demonstrates how to set up a Visual C++ project to write your own XML applications in C/C++ using the XML DOM. |
Include Headers and Libraries Manually | Performs the same functions as the Load an XML DOM Object from an XML File example, but incorporate headers and libraries manually. |
Load an XML DOM Object from an XML File (C/C++) | Demonstrates how to create an XML DOM instance and load its content from an external XML data file. |
Save an XML DOM Object to a File (C/C++) | Demonstrates how to serialize an XML DOM object in a text file. |
Perform XSL Transformations (C/C++) | Demonstrates how to perform XLS Transformations. |
Create an XML DOM Object Dynamically (C/C++) | Demonstrates how to create an XML DOM object programmatically, including processing instructions, comments, elements, attributes, CDATA sections, and text nodes. |
Query XML DOM Nodes (C/C++) | Demonstrates how to query a DOM node or node-set using XPath expressions. |
Validate an XML Document or Fragment (C/C++) | Demonstrates how to validate an XML document and/or fragment against an XML Schema. |
Manage Object Lifetime Using Reference Counting on Interface Pointers (C/C++) | Demonstrates how to manage the life-time of DOM objects when using raw interface pointers. |
