How to get text-representation of a xml doc ?

[Clemens]

Hi,

I just started with TinyXml and I wondered how to get a string of a whole xml-document ?

There is e.g. the method TiXmlDocument::SaveFile() which writes the contents to a file. And now I want exactly these contents, but as a string. I searched the code and that tutorial but I didn't find a method how to get such a string.

Can anyone help ?

The same question...

I'm wondering if TinyXml supports this function?

I don't know if this will help, but I managed to get the content of a xml as a string this way:

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include "tinyxml.h"

int main()
{
    TiXmlDocument doc( "demotest.xml" );
    doc.LoadFile();
   
    stringstream s;
    s << doc;
    string xmlAsString = s.str();
   
    cout << xmlAsString << endl;
       
        return 0;
}

Cheers

I wanted to get out the xml for a given element, and all children. The following simple modification does that:

getXml(TiXmlElement* ele)
{
  stringstream s;
  s << *ele;
  string ss = s.str();
  return ss;
}
