TiXmlNodenode

Detailed Description

A TiXmlHandle is a class that wraps a node pointer with null checks; this is an incredibly useful thing. Note that TiXmlHandle is not part of the TinyXml DOM structure. It is a separate utility class.

Take an example:

	<Document>
		<Element attributeA = "valueA">
			<Child attributeB = "value1" />
			<Child attributeB = "value2" />
		</Element>
	<Document>
	

Assuming you want the value of "attributeB" in the 2nd "Child" element, it's very easy to write a *lot* of code that looks like:

	TiXmlElement* root = document.FirstChildElement( "Document" );
	if ( root )
	{
		TiXmlElement* element = root->FirstChildElement( "Element" );
		if ( element )
		{
			TiXmlElement* child = element->FirstChildElement( "Child" );
			if ( child )
			{
				TiXmlElement* child2 = child->NextSiblingElement( "Child" );
				if ( child2 )
				{
					// Finally do something useful.
	

And that doesn't even cover "else" cases. TiXmlHandle addresses the verbosity of such code. A TiXmlHandle checks for null pointers so it is perfectly safe and correct to use:

	TiXmlHandle docHandle( &document );
	TiXmlElement* child2 = docHandle.FirstChild( "Document" ).FirstChild( "Element" ).Child( "Child", 1 ).ToElement();
	if ( child2 )
	{
		// do something useful
	

Which is MUCH more concise and useful.

It is also safe to copy handles - internally they are nothing more than node pointers.

	TiXmlHandle handleCopy = handle;
	

What they should not be used for is iteration:

	int i=0;
	while ( true )
	{
		TiXmlElement* child = docHandle.FirstChild( "Document" ).FirstChild( "Element" ).Child( "Child", i ).ToElement();
		if ( !child )
			break;
		// do something
		++i;
	}
	

It seems reasonable, but it is in fact two embedded while loops. The Child method is a linear walk to find the element, so this code would iterate much more than it needs to. Instead, prefer:

	TiXmlElement* child = docHandle.FirstChild( "Document" ).FirstChild( "Element" ).FirstChild( "Child" ).ToElement();

	for( child; child; child=child->NextSiblingElement() )
	{
		// do something
	}
