Is there an operation to destroy a document？

[flamingheart]

because all the nodes are allocated using new operator.
is there an operation to delete a document node and all its child nodes?

search for 'delete' ;)

When anything deriving from TiXmlNode goes out of scope (if on the stack) or is deleted (if on the heap) then the destructor destroys all children:

TiXmlNode::~TiXmlNode()
{
    TiXmlNode* node = firstChild;
    TiXmlNode* temp = 0;

    while ( node )
    {
        temp = node;
        node = node->next;
        delete temp;
    }   
}

But you can erase everything without waiting for end-of-life with:

void TiXmlNode::Clear()
{
    TiXmlNode* node = firstChild;
    TiXmlNode* temp = 0;

    while ( node )
    {
        temp = node;
        node = node->next;
        delete temp;
    }   

    firstChild = 0;
    lastChild = 0;
}

Hey Lee - what do you think about changing it so the destructor just calls Clear(), to avoid the code duplication ?
