xmlns=""

[Steven White <sw...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

I'm upgrading from Xerces-C version 2.1 to Xerces-C version 3.1.3 and I
noticed that existing code that look like so:

    doc->createElement("nodeName");

End up create the following XML element which breaks the parser later on
when I try to parse this data:

    <nodeName xmlns="">

This was not the case in 2.1 and i think what I need to do is use
doc->createElementNS().
Is this the case?  If so this will be a lot of work and is something I want
to avoid.

Can someone tell me if there is a way I can maintain the old functionality
or explain to me what's going on here?

Thanks

Steve

Hey Steve,

if I remember correctly, you should create your elements with the
corresponding namespace they are actually contained.


defaultNS = L"http://tempuri.org/DefaultNamespace";
doc = domImplementation->createDocument(defaultNS, L"sample", nullptr);
root = doc->getDocumentElement();
root->setAttributeNS(L"http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/", L"xmlns:an", L"
http://tempuri.org/AnotherNamespace");
node = document->createElementNS(L"nodeName", defaultNS); // providing the
element with the default namespace should remove the empty `xmlns` attribute

In regards to setAttributeNS, you should read its API description -
especially the "Exceptions" part. The use can be a bit confusing otherwise.

Hope it helps and good luck :)

René

Hi Steve,

Sorry for my late reply. Seems like result depends on your serialization 
code.

Good luck!
