I am pasting some code here that compiles with no warning using gcc file.c -lxml2, assuming that libxml2 is installed in your system.
#include <libxml/parser.h>
#include <libxml/xpath.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <libxml/tree.h>
#include <libxml/xpathInternals.h>
xmlDocPtr
getdoc (char *docname) {
xmlDocPtr doc;
doc = xmlParseFile(docname);
if (doc == NULL ) {
fprintf(stderr,"Document not parsed successfully.
");
return NULL;
}
return doc;
}
xmlXPathObjectPtr
getnodeset (xmlDocPtr doc, xmlChar *xpath){
xmlXPathContextPtr context;
xmlXPathObjectPtr result;
context = xmlXPathNewContext(doc);
if (context == NULL) {
printf("Error in xmlXPathNewContext
");
return NULL;
}
if(xmlXPathRegisterNs(context, BAD_CAST "new", BAD_CAST "http://www.example.com/new") != 0) {
fprintf(stderr,"Error: unable to register NS with prefix");
return NULL;
}
result = xmlXPathEvalExpression(xpath, context);
xmlXPathFreeContext(context);
if (result == NULL) {
printf("Error in xmlXPathEvalExpression
");
return NULL;
}
if(xmlXPathNodeSetIsEmpty(result->nodesetval)){
xmlXPathFreeObject(result);
printf("No result
");
return NULL;
}
return result;
}
int
main(int argc, char **argv) {
char *docname;
xmlDocPtr doc;
xmlChar *xpath = (xmlChar*) "/new:book/section1";
xmlNodeSetPtr nodeset;
xmlXPathObjectPtr result;
int i;
xmlChar *keyword;
if (argc <= 1) {
printf("Usage: %s docname
", argv[0]);
return(0);
}
docname = argv[1];
doc = getdoc(docname);
result = getnodeset (doc, xpath);
if (result) {
nodeset = result->nodesetval;
for (i=0; i < nodeset->nodeNr; i++) {
keyword = xmlNodeListGetString(doc, nodeset->nodeTab[i]->xmlChildrenNode, 1);
printf("keyword: %s
", keyword);
xmlFree(keyword);
}
xmlXPathFreeObject (result);
}
xmlFreeDoc(doc);
xmlCleanupParser();
return (1);
}
My problem is that I want to parse the following xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<book xmlns="http://www.example.com/new">
<section1>Sec_1</section1>
<section2>Sec_2</section2>
</book>
the book element defines a namespace inside that element. I want to print the value in the xpath /book/section1 and it returns NULL. When I am trying to return the element under a namespace I also get errors, ie /new:book/section1
I assume that my code fails because I am not using correctly the namespace prefixes. I run out of time. Could you please help?
