Ubuntu下libxml2的安装和使用

这篇文章主要介绍libxml2的安装和使用，xml文件的主要作用就是配置文件，实际的应用在前面的章节Audio设备文件解析中有需要对
audio_policy_configuration.xml文件解析，google使用的是开源库libxml2，在源码目录/external/libxml2下面，现在就单独对这个库进行分析。

在终端中执行

wang@wang:~/test$ sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev

wang@wang:~/test$ sudo apt-get install libxml2

可以通过

wang@wang:~/test$ dpkg -s libxml2-dev

查看安装状况。

Description: Development files for the GNOME XML library
 XML is a metalanguage to let you design your own markup language.
 A regular markup language defines a way to describe information in
 a certain class of documents (eg HTML). XML lets you define your
 own customized markup languages for many classes of document. It
 can do this because it's written in SGML, the international standard
 metalanguage for markup languages.
 .
 Install this package if you wish to develop your own programs using
 the GNOME XML library.

通过执行

wang@wang:~/test$ dpkg -L libxml2-dev

查看安装位置

/usr/include/libxml2
/usr/include/libxml2/libxml
/usr/include/libxml2/libxml/xpointer.h
/usr/include/libxml2/libxml/catalog.h
/usr/include/libxml2/libxml/xmlreader.h
/usr/include/libxml2/libxml/xmlexports.h

已经安装成功。

• 接下来写个demo使用libxml2进行文件解析，编写CreateXmlFile.c

#include<stdio.h>
#include<libxml/parser.h>
#include<libxml/tree.h>
 
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
 	//Define document pointer
 	xmlDocPtr doc = xmlNewDoc(BAD_CAST"1.0");
 
	//Define node pointer
	xmlNodePtr root_node = xmlNewNode(NULL,BAD_CAST"root");
 
	//Set the root element of the document
	xmlDocSetRootElement(doc,root_node);
 
	//Create child nodes directly in the root node
	xmlNewTextChild(root_node,NULL,BAD_CAST"newnode1",BAD_CAST"newnode1 content");
	xmlNewTextChild(root_node,NULL,BAD_CAST"newnode2",BAD_CAST"newnode2 content");
 
	//Create a new node
	xmlNodePtr node = xmlNewNode(NULL,BAD_CAST"node2");
	//Create a new text node
	xmlNodePtr content = xmlNewText(BAD_CAST"NODE CONTENT");
	//Add a new node to parent
	xmlAddChild(root_node,node);
	xmlAddChild(node,content);
	//Create a new property carried by a node
	xmlNewProp(node,BAD_CAST"attribute",BAD_CAST"yes");
 
	//Create a son and grandson node element
	node = xmlNewNode(NULL,BAD_CAST"son");
	xmlAddChild(root_node,node);
	xmlNodePtr grandson = xmlNewNode(NULL,BAD_CAST"grandson");
	xmlAddChild(node,grandson);
	xmlAddChild(grandson,xmlNewText(BAD_CAST"THis is a grandson node"));
						 
	//Dump an XML document to a file
	int nRel = xmlSaveFile("CreatedXmlDemo.xml",doc);
	if(nRel != -1) {
		//Free up all the structures used by a document,tree included
		xmlFreeDoc(doc);
	}
	return 0;
}

编译

wang@wang:~/test$ gcc -I/usr/include/libxml2 CreateXmlFile.c -o CreateXmlFile -lxml2

可以看到执行结果

wang@wang:~/test$ gcc -I/usr/include/libxml2 CreateXmlFile.c -o CreateXmlFile -lxml2
wang@wang:~/test$ ./CreateXmlFile
wang@wang:~/test& ls
CreatedXmlDemo.xml CreateXmlFile

使用html打开生成的文件
