boost :: property_tree XML漂亮打印

我正在使用boost :: property_tree在我的应用程序中读写XML配置文件。 但是当我写文件时,输出看起来很丑陋,文件中有很多空行。 问题是它应该由人类编辑,所以我想获得更好的输出。

作为一个例子,我写了一个小测试程序:

#include <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp>
#include <boost/property_tree/xml_parser.hpp>

int main( void )
{
    using boost::property_tree::ptree;
    ptree pt;

    // reading file.xml
    read_xml("file.xml", pt);

    // writing the unchanged ptree in file2.xml
    boost::property_tree::xml_writer_settings<char> settings('\t', 1);
    write_xml("file2.xml", pt, std::locale(), settings);

    return 0;
}

file.xml包含:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<config>
    <net>
        <listenPort>10420</listenPort>
    </net>
</config>

运行程序后,file2.xml包含:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config>



    <net>



        <listenPort>10420</listenPort>
    </net>
</config>

有没有办法获得更好的输出,除了手动通过输出并删除空行?

解决方案是将trim_whitespace标记添加到read_xml的调用中:

#include <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp>
#include <boost/property_tree/xml_parser.hpp>

int main( void )
{
    // Create an empty property tree object
    using boost::property_tree::ptree;
    ptree pt;

    // reading file.xml
    read_xml("file.xml", pt, boost::property_tree::xml_parser::trim_whitespace );

    // writing the unchanged ptree in file2.xml
    boost::property_tree::xml_writer_settings<char> settings('\t', 1);
    write_xml("file2.xml", pt, std::locale(), settings);

    return 0;
}

该标志记录在here但是图书馆的当前维护者(Sebastien Redl)非常友好地回答并指出了它。

这个问题很老了,但我最近再次调查了你的问题,因为现在property_tree将换行符转换为

后情况变得更糟
&#10;    

在我看来,这是一个错误,因为只包含空格的元素 - 换行符,空格和制表符,被视为文本元素。 trim_whitespace只是一个bandaid并规范化property_tree中的所有空格。

我在这里报告了这个错误并附加了一个.diff来修复Boost 1.59中的这种行为,以防不使用trim_whitespace: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/11600

对于那些尝试:

boost::property_tree::xml_writer_settings<char> settings('\t', 1);

使用VisualStudio 2013中的boost-1.60.0进行编译,您可能会得到:

vmtknetworktest.cpp(259) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::property_tree::xml_parser::xml_writer_settings<char>' being compiled

找到工作的解决方案是在模板中使用std :: string。

pt::write_xml(file_name, params, std::locale(), pt::xml_writer_make_settings< std::string >(' ', 4));
