Std Xml

std.xml

Comments

I cannot get either of the examples at the top to compile in DMD 2.059.

I can't edit the page to put in new code, because the link to Github gives me a 404 error! https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/edit/master/std/xml.d

The following code does the same as the first example, and compiles (for me at least):

 import std.xml;
 import std.stdio;
 import std.string;
 import std.file : read;

 // books.xml is used in various samples throughout the Microsoft XML Core
 // Services (MSXML) SDK.
 //
 // See  http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms762271(VS.85).aspx

 void main()
 {
    string s = cast(string) read("book.xml");

    // Check for well-formedness
    check(s);

    // Make a DOM tree
    auto doc = new Document(s);

    // Plain-print it
    write(doc);
 }

Alternatives to std.xml

dom.d by Adam D. Ruppe

This is a JavaScript? compatible DOM parser for XML.

Download dom.d and characterencodings.d from https://github.com/adamdruppe/misc-stuff-including-D-programming-language-web-stuff
Save them to C:\D\dmd2\src\phobos\arsd * When compiling, link them to your code using the command: dmd.exe yourCode arsd/dom.d arsd/characterencoding.d

Example code:

 /*
  *  read all the titles from book.xml
  *
  *  uses dom.d and characterencodings.d by alex d ruppe:
  *   https://github.com/adamdruppe/misc-stuff-including-D-programming-language-web-stuff
  */

 import arsd.dom;
 import std.file;
 import std.stdio;
 import std.conv;

 void main()
 {
	//  http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms762271(VS.85).aspx
	auto document = new Document(readText("book.xml"), true, true);

	auto map = document.requireSelector("catalog");

	foreach (book; document.getElementsByTagName("book"))
	{
		string title = book.getElementsByTagName("title")[0].innerText();

		writeln(title);
	}
 }
