|
Often after creating a new document or loading the existing one and processing
|
|
it, it is necessary to save the result back to file. Also it is occasionally
|
|
useful to output the whole document or a subtree to some stream; use cases
|
|
include debug printing, serialization via network or other text-oriented medium,
|
|
etc. pugixml provides several functions to output any subtree of the document
|
|
to a file, stream or another generic transport interface; these functions allow
|
|
to customize the output format (see <a class="xref" href="saving.html#manual.saving.options" title="Output options"> Output options</a>), and also perform
|
|
necessary encoding conversions (see <a class="xref" href="saving.html#manual.saving.encoding" title="Encodings"> Encodings</a>). This section documents
|
|
the relevant functionality.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Before writing to the destination the node/attribute data is properly formatted
|
|
according to the node type; all special XML symbols, such as < and &,
|
|
are properly escaped (unless <a class="link" href="saving.html#format_no_escapes">format_no_escapes</a>
|
|
flag is set). In order to guard against forgotten node/attribute names, empty
|
|
node/attribute names are printed as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="string">":anonymous"</span></code>.
|
|
For well-formed output, make sure all node and attribute names are set to meaningful
|
|
values.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
CDATA sections with values that contain <code class="computeroutput"><span class="string">"]]>"</span></code>
|
|
are split into several sections as follows: section with value <code class="computeroutput"><span class="string">"pre]]>post"</span></code> is written as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><![</span><span class="identifier">CDATA</span><span class="special">[</span><span class="identifier">pre</span><span class="special">]]]]><![</span><span class="identifier">CDATA</span><span class="special">[></span><span class="identifier">post</span><span class="special">]]></span></code>.
|
|
While this alters the structure of the document (if you load the document after
|
|
saving it, there will be two CDATA sections instead of one), this is the only
|
|
way to escape CDATA contents.

If you want to save the whole document to a file, you can use one of the
|
|
following functions:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_document</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">save_file</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="keyword">char</span><span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">path</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">char_t</span><span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">indent</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="string">"\t"</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="keyword">unsigned</span> <span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">flags</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">format_default</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">xml_encoding</span> <span class="identifier">encoding</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">encoding_auto</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="keyword">const</span><span class="special">;</span>
|

<span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">xml_document</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">save_file</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="keyword">wchar_t</span><span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">path</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">char_t</span><span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">indent</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="string">"\t"</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="keyword">unsigned</span> <span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">flags</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">format_default</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">xml_encoding</span> <span class="identifier">encoding</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">encoding_auto</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="keyword">const</span><span class="special">;</span>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
These functions accept file path as its first argument, and also three optional
|
|
arguments, which specify indentation and other output options (see <a class="xref" href="saving.html#manual.saving.options" title="Output options"> Output options</a>)
|
|
and output data encoding (see <a class="xref" href="saving.html#manual.saving.encoding" title="Encodings"> Encodings</a>). The path has the target
|
|
operating system format, so it can be a relative or absolute one, it should
|
|
have the delimiters of the target system, it should have the exact case if
|
|
the target file system is case-sensitive, etc.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
File path is passed to the system file opening function as is in case of
|
|
the first function (which accepts <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">const</span>
|
|
<span class="keyword">char</span><span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">path</span></code>); the second function either uses
|
|
a special file opening function if it is provided by the runtime library
|
|
or converts the path to UTF-8 and uses the system file opening function.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<a name="xml_writer_file"></a><p>
|
|
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">save_file</span></code> opens the target
|
|
file for writing, outputs the requested header (by default a document declaration
|
|
is output, unless the document already has one), and then saves the document
|
|
contents. If the file could not be opened, the function returns <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">false</span></code>. Calling <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">save_file</span></code>
|
|
is equivalent to creating an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xml_writer_file</span></code>
|
|
object with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">FILE</span><span class="special">*</span></code>
|

handle as the only constructor argument and then calling <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">save</span></code>;

To enhance interoperability pugixml provides functions for saving document
|
|
to any object which implements C++ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">ostream</span></code>
|
|
interface. This allows you to save documents to any standard C++ stream (i.e.
|
|
file stream) or any third-party compliant implementation (i.e. Boost Iostreams).
|
|
Most notably, this allows for easy debug output, since you can use <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">cout</span></code>
|
|
stream as saving target. There are two functions, one works with narrow character
|
|
streams, another handles wide character ones:

<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">save</span></code> with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">ostream</span></code>
|
|
argument saves the document to the stream in the same way as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">save_file</span></code> (i.e. with requested header and
|
|
with encoding conversions). On the other hand, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">save</span></code>
|
|
with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">wstream</span></code> argument saves the document to
|
|
the wide stream with <a class="link" href="loading.html#encoding_wchar">encoding_wchar</a>
|
|
encoding. Because of this, using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">save</span></code>
|
|
with wide character streams requires careful (usually platform-specific)
|
|
stream setup (i.e. using the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">imbue</span></code>
|
|
function). Generally use of wide streams is discouraged, however it provides
|
|
you with the ability to save documents to non-Unicode encodings, i.e. you
|
|
can save Shift-JIS encoded data if you set the correct locale.

All of the above saving functions are implemented in terms of writer interface.

This is a simple interface with a single function, which is called several

times during output process with chunks of document data as input:

In order to output the document via some custom transport, for example sockets,
|
|
you should create an object which implements <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xml_writer</span></code>
|
|
interface and pass it to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">save</span></code>
|
|
function. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xml_writer</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">write</span></code> function is called with a buffer
|
|
as an input, where <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">data</span></code> points
|
|
to buffer start, and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">size</span></code>
|
|
is equal to the buffer size in bytes. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">write</span></code>
|
|
implementation must write the buffer to the transport; it can not save the
|
|
passed buffer pointer, as the buffer contents will change after <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">write</span></code> returns. The buffer contains the
|
|
chunk of document data in the desired encoding.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">write</span></code> function is called
|
|
with relatively large blocks (size is usually several kilobytes, except for
|
|
the last block that may be small), so there is often no need for additional
|
|
buffering in the implementation.
|

These functions have the same arguments with the same meaning as the corresponding
|
|
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xml_document</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">save</span></code> functions, and allow you to save the
|
|
subtree to either a C++ IOstream or to any object that implements <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xml_writer</span></code> interface.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Saving a subtree differs from saving the whole document: the process behaves
|
|
as if <a class="link" href="saving.html#format_write_bom">format_write_bom</a> is off, and
|
|
<a class="link" href="saving.html#format_no_declaration">format_no_declaration</a> is on,
|
|
even if actual values of the flags are different. This means that BOM is
|
|
not written to the destination, and document declaration is only written
|
|
if it is the node itself or is one of node's children. Note that this also
|
|
holds if you're saving a document; this example (<a href="../samples/save_subtree.cpp" target="_top">samples/save_subtree.cpp</a>)
|
|
illustrates the difference:

pugixml supports all popular Unicode encodings (UTF-8, UTF-16 (big and little
|
|
endian), UTF-32 (big and little endian); UCS-2 is naturally supported since
|
|
it's a strict subset of UTF-16) and handles all encoding conversions during
|
|
output. The output encoding is set via the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">encoding</span></code>
|
|
parameter of saving functions, which is of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xml_encoding</span></code>.
|
|
The possible values for the encoding are documented in <a class="xref" href="loading.html#manual.loading.encoding" title="Encodings"> Encodings</a>;
|
|
the only flag that has a different meaning is <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">encoding_auto</span></code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
While all other flags set the exact encoding, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">encoding_auto</span></code>
|
|
is meant for automatic encoding detection. The automatic detection does not
|
|
make sense for output encoding, since there is usually nothing to infer the
|
|
actual encoding from, so here <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">encoding_auto</span></code>
|
|
means UTF-8 encoding, which is the most popular encoding for XML data storage.
|
|
This is also the default value of output encoding; specify another value
|
|
if you do not want UTF-8 encoded output.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Also note that wide stream saving functions do not have <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">encoding</span></code>
|
|
argument and always assume <a class="link" href="loading.html#encoding_wchar">encoding_wchar</a>
|
|
encoding.

The current behavior for Unicode conversion is to skip all invalid UTF
|
|
sequences during conversion. This behavior should not be relied upon; if
|

your node/attribute names do not contain any valid UTF sequences, they

may be output as if they are empty, which will result in malformed XML

document.

By default the declaration node is not added to the document during parsing.
|
|
If you just need to preserve the original declaration node, you have to
|
|
add the flag <a class="link" href="loading.html#parse_declaration">parse_declaration</a>
|
|
to the parsing flags; the resulting document will contain the original

declaration node, which will be output during saving.

Declaration node is a node with type <a class="link" href="dom.html#node_declaration">node_declaration</a>;
|
|
it behaves like an element node in that it has attributes with values (but
|
|
it does not have child nodes). Therefore setting custom version, encoding
|
|
or standalone declaration involves adding attributes and setting attribute
|
|
values.
|
|
</p>

|

This is an example that shows how to create a custom declaration node (<a href="../samples/save_declaration.cpp" target="_top">samples/save_declaration.cpp</a>):
