使用Boost解析XML属性

我想与您分享我在尝试使用Boost库(版本1.52.0)处理C ++中XML元素的某些属性时遇到的问题。给出以下代码:

#define ATTR_SET ".<xmlattr>"
#define XML_PATH1 "./pets.xml"

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <boost/foreach.hpp>
#include <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp>
#include <boost/property_tree/xml_parser.hpp>

using namespace std;
using namespace boost;
using namespace boost::property_tree;

const ptree& empty_ptree(){
    static ptree t;
    return t;
}

int main() {
    ptree tree;
    read_xml(XML_PATH1, tree);
    const ptree & formats = tree.get_child("pets", empty_ptree());
    BOOST_FOREACH(const ptree::value_type & f, formats){
        string at = f.first + ATTR_SET;
        const ptree & attributes = formats.get_child(at, empty_ptree());
        cout << "Extracting attributes from " << at << ":" << endl;
        BOOST_FOREACH(const ptree::value_type &v, attributes){
            cout << "First: " << v.first.data() << " Second: " << v.second.data() << endl;
        }
    }
}

假设我有以下XML结构:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<pets>
    <cat name="Garfield" weight="4Kg">
        <somestuff/>
    </cat>
    <dog name="Milu" weight="7Kg">
        <somestuff/>
    </dog>
    <bird name="Tweety" weight="0.1Kg">
        <somestuff/>
    </bird>
</pets>

因此,我将获得的控制台输出将是下一个:

Extracting attributes from cat.<xmlattr>:
First: name Second: Garfield
First: weight Second: 4Kg
Extracting attributes from dog.<xmlattr>:
First: name Second: Milu
First: weight Second: 7Kg
Extracting attributes from bird.<xmlattr>:
First: name Second: Tweety
First: weight Second: 0.1Kg

但是,如果我决定对从根节点放置的每个元素使用公共结构(为了从它们的特定属性中识别它们),结果将完全改变。在这种情况下,这可能是XML文件:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<pets>
    <pet type="cat" name="Garfield" weight="4Kg">
        <somestuff/>
    </pet>
    <pet type="dog" name="Milu" weight="7Kg">
        <somestuff/>
    </pet>
    <pet type="bird" name="Tweety" weight="0.1Kg">
        <somestuff/>
    </pet>
</pets>

输出如下:

Extracting attributes from pet.<xmlattr>:
First: type Second: cat
First: name Second: Garfield
First: weight Second: 4Kg
Extracting attributes from pet.<xmlattr>:
First: type Second: cat
First: name Second: Garfield
First: weight Second: 4Kg
Extracting attributes from pet.<xmlattr>:
First: type Second: cat
First: name Second: Garfield
First: weight Second: 4Kg

由于已经打印了三组属性,因此可以正确识别从根节点挂起的元素数量。然而,所有这些都是指第一个元素的属性......

我不是C ++的专家,也不是Boost的新手,所以这可能是我在哈希映射处理方面所缺少的东西......所以我们非常感谢任何建议。

您的程序存在问题:

const ptree & attributes = formats.get_child(at, empty_ptree());

使用此行,您要求从pet.<xmlattr>获取孩子pets并执行此操作3次,而不管您正在移动的f。关注this article我猜你需要使用的是:

const ptree & attributes = f.second.get_child("<xmlattr>", empty_ptree());

适用于您的xml文件的完整代码是:

#define ATTR_SET ".<xmlattr>"
#define XML_PATH1 "./pets.xml"

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <boost/foreach.hpp>
#include <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp>
#include <boost/property_tree/xml_parser.hpp>

using namespace std;
using namespace boost;
using namespace boost::property_tree;

const ptree& empty_ptree(){
    static ptree t;
    return t;
}

int main() {
    ptree tree;
    read_xml(XML_PATH1, tree);
    const ptree & formats = tree.get_child("pets", empty_ptree());
    BOOST_FOREACH(const ptree::value_type & f, formats){
        string at = f.first + ATTR_SET;
        const ptree & attributes = f.second.get_child("<xmlattr>", empty_ptree());
        cout << "Extracting attributes from " << at << ":" << endl;
        BOOST_FOREACH(const ptree::value_type &v, attributes){
            cout << "First: " << v.first.data() << " Second: " << v.second.data() << endl;
        }
    }
}

到目前为止,我还没有使用过这个功能,我怀疑boost::property_tree XML解析器不是一个常见的XML解析器,但是需要一个特定的模式,在这个模式中,你只有一个特定属性的特定标签。

如果您希望使用超出boost::property_tree功能的XML,您可能更愿意使用其他提供解析任何XML架构的XML解析器。看看例如Xerces C++Poco XML

要解析的文件pets.xml

<pets>
    <pet type="cat" name="Garfield" weight="4Kg">
        <something name="test" value="*"/>
         <something name="demo" value="@"/>
    </pet>
    <pet type="dog" name="Milu" weight="7Kg">
         <something name="test1" value="$"/>
    </pet>
    <birds type="parrot">
        <bird name="african grey parrot"/>
        <bird name="amazon parrot"/>
    </birds>
</pets>

    {

        if(petChild.first=="<xmlattr>")
        {
            BOOST_FOREACH(ptree::value_type petAttr,petChild.second.get_child(""))
            {
                cout<<petAttr.first<<"="<<petAttr.second.data()<<endl;
            }

                    BOOST_FOREACH(ptree::value_type birdAttr,birdChild.second.get_child(""))

                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{

    const std::string XML_PATH1 = "C:/Users/10871/Desktop/pets.xml";
    ptree pt1;
    boost::property_tree::read_xml( XML_PATH1, pt1  );
     cout<<"********************************************"<<endl;
    BOOST_FOREACH( ptree::value_type const& topNodeChild, pt1.get_child( "pets" ) ) 
    {
        ptree subtree = topNodeChild.second;
        if( topNodeChild.first == "pet" ) 
        {
             processPet(subtree);
             cout<<"********************************************"<<endl;
        }
        else if(topNodeChild.first=="birds")
        {
            processBirds(subtree);
             cout<<"********************************************"<<endl;
        }

    }
    getchar();
    return 0;
}

输出如下所示: output
