No attributte support in UT_XML classes?

[Guest mantragora]

Or maybe I'm missing something?

Can I extract "identyficator" or "type" somehow from this code?

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Nodes>
  <SOP>
    <Node identyficator="0">
        <Defaults>
	    <Name type="internal">hdk_sop_foo</Name>
	    <Name type ="external">SOP Foo</Name>		
            <Name type="iconname">SOP_Foo</Name>
            <Name type="iconextension">svg</Name>
	    <Name type="version">1.0</Name>
        </Defaults>
		
        <Parameters>
            <Parm identyficator="0">
                 <Name type="internal"></Name>
                 <Name type="external"></Name>
            </Parm>
            <Parm identyficator="1">
                 <Name type="internal"></Name>
                 <Name type="external"></Name>
            </Parm>
        </Parameters>
    </Node>  
  </SOP> 

  <DOP>
  </DOP> 	
</Nodes>

There are only four methods available in UT_XMLNode, and it doesn't look that any of it gives access to attributes.

And what is getContents() method returning?

/// Return the contents of the node.

/// Return an empty string if this is not a contents node.

WTF is this? I always get blank string with it, so what should be specified in the node to get some data with it?

Thanks!

I moved my project to PUGIXML, which works more like .NET XML implementation. But still I would like to see some examples, if there is attribute support in UT_XML* classes.

It looks that there is more than one XML parser in HDK. One is UT_XMLDomParser and the second is UT_XMLSaxParser. The second one does have attribute support, but all the methods that touches attruibutes are protected, so I can't access them. Any tips?

Hmm..., maybe I should just use UT_XMLReader class instead of those two Parser classes? What's the difference between those classes? Why do we have 3 possibilities on how to parse the file?
