I’m trying to build a DOM tree from a xmlTextReaderPtr. In my final program, it will be used to process a small DOM tree with xslt from a large XML file like I did in java. I cannot find the proper way to work with the namespaces/prefixes (how should I create the elements and the attributes ? ). Here is a very basic C code: I’m building the DOM from the stream and I dump the DOM. How should I modify my code to handle the namespaces/prefixes ? Many thanks !
#include <stdio.h>
#include <libxml/parser.h>
#include <libxml/tree.h>
#include <libxml/xmlreader.h>
/* dump XML node */
static void print_element_names(xmlNode * a_node)
{
xmlNode *cur_node = NULL;
for (cur_node = a_node; cur_node; cur_node = xmlNextElementSibling(cur_node))
{
if (cur_node->type == XML_ELEMENT_NODE)
{
xmlAttrPtr attr;
printf("node type: Element, name: %s", cur_node->name);
if(cur_node->ns!=0 && cur_node->ns->href!=0) printf(" with namespace: %s", cur_node->ns->href);
printf("\n");
for(attr = cur_node->properties; NULL != attr; attr = attr->next)
{
xmlChar* v=xmlGetProp( cur_node,attr->name);
printf(" @%s=%s ", attr->name,v);
xmlFree(v);
}
}
print_element_names(cur_node->children);
}

and here is my test file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<a xmlns="http://urn1.org" xmlns:ns1="http://urn2.org" ns1:test="ok">azdazd

Many thanks,
Ok, I’ve found my erros and how to use the API. Here is the code:
