Print XML from DOM tree

Hi all,

I am able to write XML to a string using a DOMWriter and the writeToString()
method.

This works fine. I am wondering, is there a way to get 'prettier' output?
ie. a new line after each element, and an extra indent between child
elements, like XML is displayed in Internet Explorer etc

Thanks for your time

Jim

Alberto,

Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I haven't had access to the internet

The code I am using is as follows:


	static const XMLCh gLS[] = { chLatin_L, chLatin_S, chNull };
	DOMImplementation *impl =
DOMImplementationRegistry::getDOMImplementation(gLS);
	DOMWriter* writer = ((DOMImplementationLS*)impl)->createDOMWriter();
	if (writer->canSetFeature(XMLUni::fgDOMWRTFormatPrettyPrint, true))
	   writer->setFeature(XMLUni::fgDOMWRTFormatPrettyPrint, true); 
	DOMElement *pobjElemToWrite = m_pobjDomTree->getDocumentElement();
	pszXmlOutput =
XMLString::transcode(writer->writeToString(*pobjElemToWrite));

        printf( "XML Output: %s\n", pszXmlOutput );


Cheers
Jim

Hi Jim,
at this point, if the feature gets set but the 
output still isn't pretty-printed, could you post the code you are using?

Thanks for the replies, however, they just don't work for me (although the
writer feature does get set).

The output is on one line, with no indents or whitespace

Any ideas?

Thanks
Jim

Re: Re : Print XML from DOM tree

Hi,

After you create the DOM writer, set this feature.

if
(theDomWriter->canSetFeature(XMLUni::fgDOMWRTFormatPrettyPrint,
true))
               
theDomWriter->setFeature(XMLUni::fgDOMWRTFormatPrettyPrint,
true);

You also might wanna look at DOMPrint example. There
is a good implementation of this in there.

Cheers,


Matt.
