    - xmlAppendChild()
      Adds a new child node into the DOM tree as child of given node. Optionally the node's value can be set.
    - xmlChildNodes()
      Writes all child nodes of the given node into the nodes' reference parameter.
    - xmlCloseDocument()
      Closes the created XML document and destroys the occupied memory. After this call, the document ID is no longer valid.
    - xmlDocumentFromFile()
      Opens a file and reads the complete content building the DOM structure in memory.
    - xmlDocumentFromString()
      Reads the complete content from a string and builds the DOM structure in memory.
    - xmlDocumentToFile()
      Stores the internal DOM tree in an arbitrary XML file.
    - xmlDocumentToString()
      Returns the internal DOM tree as a string result.
    - xmlElementAttributes()
      Returns all node attributes as a mapping.
    - xmlFirstChild()
      Returns an internal ID to the first child node in the DOM tree.
    - xmlGetElementAttribute()
      Reads the value of the given attribute into the value reference parameter of the node.
    - xmlIsSameNode()
      Checks whether two node IDs are pointing to the same internal node within the DOM tree.
    - xmlNamedChild()
      This function allows you to easily find a child node in an xml document.
    - xmlNewDocument()
      Starts the creation of a new document in memory and returns the document ID.
    - xmlNextSibling()
      Returns an internal ID for the next sibling of the given node.
    - xmlNodeName()
      Returns the name of a node.
    - xmlNodePosition()
      The function returns the position of a node inside of an XML document.
    - xmlNodeType()
      Returns the type of the given node.
    - xmlNodeValue()
      Returns the value of the given node.
    - xmlParentNode()
      Returns the internal ID for the parent node of the given node.
    - xmlRemoveElementAttribute()
      Removes the given attribute from its node.
    - xmlRemoveNode()
      Removes the given node from its parent node.
    - xmlrpcCall()
      Calls the function "function" on the server with the arguments of the parameter "args". If "result" is specified, the function waits for the answer from the server and saves the answer in "result". This corresponds to the call result = function(args[1], ...);
    - xmlrpcClient
      Starts an XmlRpc client. The XmlRpc client is a Ctrl module that handles the calls in the background.
    - xmlrpcCloseServer()
      Closes the connection to the server.
    - xmlrpcConnectToServer()
      Establishes a connection to an XmlRpc server on host "host" and port "port". If "secure" is TRUE, a https connection is built. Under Windows the OpenSSL installation is required. The connection is valid only as long as it is open. This means if the connection is broken, the requests for the server will fail. Using the parameter "id", the server can be identified in the following calls.
    - xmlrpcDecodeRequest()
      Decodes the request and extracts the function name and arguments of it.
    - xmlrpcDecodeValue()
      Re-converts an XmlRpc-coded string to a variable.
    - xmlrpcEncodeResponse()
      Encodes the result in an XmlRpc message.
    - xmlrpcEncodeValue()
      Converts a "value" variable to an XmlRpc-coded string.
    - xmlrpcHandler()
      CtrlXmlRpc is a CTRL extension including XML-RPC functions. XML-RPC is a protocol for web services, similar to SOAP but much simpler.
    - xmlrpcSetGzipLimit()
      Defines from which size the contents of a request are compressed (gzip).
    - xmlSetElementAttribute()
      Sets the attribute of a node to given value.
    - xmlSetNodeValue()
      Sets the node's value to the given value.

xmlNodeName()

Returns the name of a node.

Synopsis

string xmlNodeName(unsigned doc, unsigned node);

Parameters


Parameter	Description
doc	The document ID returned by e.g. xmlNewDocument().
node	Node ID

Return value

Node ID

In case of a failure it returns -1.

Description

Returns the name of a node.

The meaning of the name depends on the type of node being asked. All given node type names are integer constants which are available in the CTRL script when the CtrlXml extension is used.

The following node type constants are defined:


Constant	Meaning
XML_ATTRIBUTE_NODE	Attribute name
XML_CDATA_SECTION_NODE	String "#cdata-section"
XML_COMMENT_NODE	String "#comment"
XML_DOCUMENT_NODE	String "#document"
XML_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE	String "#document-fragment"
XML_DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE	Name of the document type
XML_ELEMENT_NODE	Tag name
XML_ENTITY_NODE	Name of the unit
XML_ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE	Name of the reference unit
XML_NOTATION_NODE	Name of the alert
XML_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE	The target of the processing instruction
XML_TEXT_NODE	String "#text"

Example

Reads the d:/XmlTest0.xml file and creates a document. The content of the document is printed using printNodes. The function xmlElementAttributes returns all node attributes as a mapping. XmlNextSibling is used to return the internal Id of the next sibling of a node. XmlNodeName returns the name of a node.

#uses "CtrlXml"
global uint docNum;
global string err;
global int errLine, errColumn;
main()
{
  uint node;
  DebugN(docNum = xmlDocumentFromFile("d:/XmlTest0.xml", err,
  errLine,
  errColumn));
  DebugN("error:", err, errLine, errColumn);
  printNodes(node = xmlFirstChild(docNum));
  xmlSetElementAttribute(docNum, node, "test_attribute", "some
  fancy value !!");
}
void printNodes(int node)
{
  if ( node != -1 )
  {
    if ( xmlNodeType(docNum, node) == XML_TEXT_NODE )
    DebugN("value:", xmlNodeValue(docNum, node));
    if ( xmlNodeType(docNum, node) == XML_ELEMENT_NODE )
    DebugN(xmlNodeName(docNum, node), xmlElementAttributes(docNum,
    node) );
    printNodes(xmlFirstChild(docNum, node));
    printNodes(xmlNextSibling(docNum, node));
    DebugN(xmlDocumentFromFile(docNum, "d:/XmlTest0.xml",err,
    errLine,
    errColumn));
  }
}
