3 * \section intro_sec Introduction
4 *
5 * This is a basic XML parser written in ANSI C++ for portability.
6 * It works by using recursion and a node tree for breaking
7 * down the elements of an XML document.

48 * \section tutorial First Tutorial
49 * You can follow a simple <a href="../../xmlParser.html">Tutorial</a> to know the basics...
50 *
51 * \section usage General usage: How to include the XMLParser library inside your project.
52 *
53 * The library is composed of two files: <a href="../../xmlParser.cpp">xmlParser.cpp</a> and
54 * <a href="../../xmlParser.h">xmlParser.h</a>. These are the ONLY 2 files that you need when
55 * using the library inside your own projects.
56 *
57 * All the functions of the library are documented inside the comments of the file
58 * <a href="../../xmlParser.h">xmlParser.h</a>. These comments can be transformed in
59 * full-fledged HTML documentation using the DOXYGEN software: simply type: "doxygen doxy.cfg"
60 *
61 * By default, the XMLParser library uses (char*) for string representation.To use the (wchar_t*)
62 * version of the library, you need to define the "_UNICODE" preprocessor definition variable
63 * (this is usually done inside your project definition file) (This is done automatically for you
64 * when using Visual Studio).
65 *
66 * \section example Advanced Tutorial and Many Examples of usage.
67 *
68 * Some very small introductory examples are described inside the Tutorial file
69 * <a href="../../xmlParser.html">xmlParser.html</a>
70 *
71 * Some additional small examples are also inside the file <a href="../../xmlTest.cpp">xmlTest.cpp</a>
72 * (for the "char*" version of the library) and inside the file
73 * <a href="../../xmlTestUnicode.cpp">xmlTestUnicode.cpp</a> (for the "wchar_t*"
74 * version of the library). If you have a question, please review these additionnal examples
75 * before sending an e-mail to the author.
76 *
77 * To build the examples:
78 * - linux/unix: type "make"
79 * - solaris: type "make -f makefile.solaris"
80 * - windows: Visual Studio: double-click on xmlParser.dsw
81 *   (under Visual Studio .NET, the .dsp and .dsw files will be automatically converted to .vcproj and .sln files)
82 *
83 * In order to build the examples you need some additional files:
84 * - linux/unix: makefile
85 * - solaris: makefile.solaris
86 * - windows: Visual Studio: *.dsp, xmlParser.dsw and also xmlParser.lib and xmlParser.dll
87 *
88 * \section debugging Debugging with the XMLParser library
89 *
90 * \subsection debugwin Debugging under WINDOWS
91 *
92 * 	Inside Visual C++, the "debug versions" of the memory allocation functions are
93 * 	very slow: Do not forget to compile in "release mode" to get maximum speed.
94 * 	When I had to debug a software that was using the XMLParser Library, it was usually
95 * 	a nightmare because the library was sooOOOoooo slow in debug mode (because of the
96 *  slow memory allocations in Debug mode). To solve this
97 * 	problem, during all the debugging session, I am now using a very fast DLL version of the
98 * 	XMLParser Library (the DLL is compiled in release mode). Using the DLL version of
99 * 	the XMLParser Library allows me to have lightening XML parsing speed even in debug!
100 * 	Other than that, the DLL version is useless: In the release version of my tool,
101 * 	I always use the normal, ".cpp"-based, XMLParser Library (I simply include the
102 * <a href="../../xmlParser.cpp">xmlParser.cpp</a> and
103 * <a href="../../xmlParser.h">xmlParser.h</a> files into the project).
104 *
105 * 	The file <a href="../../XMLNodeAutoexp.txt">XMLNodeAutoexp.txt</a> contains some
106 * "tweaks" that improve substancially the display of the content of the XMLNode objects
107 * inside the Visual Studio Debugger. Believe me, once you have seen inside the debugger
108 * the "smooth" display of the XMLNode objects, you cannot live without it anymore!
109 *
110 * \subsection debuglinux Debugging under LINUX/UNIX
111 *
112 * 	The speed of the debug version of the XMLParser library is tolerable so no extra
113 * work.has been done.

533     *     characters. If this is the case, then the file will be loaded and converted in memory to
534     *     WideChar before being parsed. If 0, no conversion will be performed.
535     *
536     * @param guessWideCharChars If "guessWideCharChars"=1 and if this library is compiled in ASCII/UTF8/char* mode, then the
537     *     XMLNode::parseFile and XMLNode::openFileHelper functions will test if the file contains WideChar
538     *     characters. If this is the case, then the file will be loaded and converted in memory to
539     *     ASCII/UTF8/char* before being parsed. If 0, no conversion will be performed.
540     *
541     * @param characterEncoding This parameter is only meaningful when compiling in char* mode (multibyte character mode).
542     *     In wchar_t* (wide char mode), this parameter is ignored. This parameter should be one of the
543     *     three currently recognized encodings: XMLNode::encoding_UTF8, XMLNode::encoding_ascii,
544     *     XMLNode::encoding_ShiftJIS.
545     *
546     * @param dropWhiteSpace In most situations, text fields containing only white spaces (and carriage returns)
547     *     are useless. Even more, these "empty" text fields are annoying because they increase the
548     *     complexity of the user's code for parsing. So, 99% of the time, it's better to drop
549     *     the "empty" text fields. However The XML specification indicates that no white spaces
550     *     should be lost when parsing the file. So to be perfectly XML-compliant, you should set
551     *     dropWhiteSpace=0. A note of caution: if you set "dropWhiteSpace=0", the parser will be
552     *     slower and your code will be more complex.
553     *
554     * @param removeCommentsInMiddleOfText To explain this parameter, let's consider this code:
555     * \code
556     *        XMLNode x=XMLNode::parseString("<a>foo<!-- hello -->bar<!DOCTYPE world >chu</a>","a");
557     * \endcode
558     *     If removeCommentsInMiddleOfText=0, then we will have:
559     * \code
560     *        x.getText(0) -> "foo"
561     *        x.getText(1) -> "bar"
562     *        x.getText(2) -> "chu"
563     *        x.getClear(0) --> "<!-- hello -->"
564     *        x.getClear(1) --> "<!DOCTYPE world >"
565     * \endcode
566     *     If removeCommentsInMiddleOfText=1, then we will have:
567     * \code
568     *        x.getText(0) -> "foobar"
569     *        x.getText(1) -> "chu"
570     *        x.getClear(0) --> "<!DOCTYPE world >"
571     * \endcode
572     *
573     * \return "0" when there are no errors. If you try to set an unrecognized encoding then the return value will be "1" to signal an error.
574     *
575     * \note Sometime, it's useful to set "guessWideCharChars=0" to disable any conversion
576     * because the test to detect the file-type (ASCII/UTF8/char* or WideChar) may fail (rarely). */
