TeamSite::XMLparser

Hi,

This is my xml, I want to parse.

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?
author-manager-mapping
manager name="" id=""
author name="" id="" branch=""
author name="" id="" branch=""
manager
manager name="" id=""
author name="" id="" branch=""
author name="" id="" branch=""
manager
author-manager-mapping

these are the few steps I read in the perldoc

my $xml = "path of the xml on TS server";
my $parser = TeamSite::XMLparser->new();
my $docnode = $parser->parse($xml,'document');
my $rootnode = $parser->parse($xml);

but when i print the $docnode or $rootnode, Its empty.

Please tell me what is that I am doing wrong.

Okay - I just looked at the perldoc and it may not be as clear as it should be - but

$xml

should, I believe, be the contents of the XML file - not the path to it. Try slurping the contents of the file you are giving the path to right now, into

$xml

and see if that gets you further.

thanks ghoti..

I have a few Qs around it.

1. using XMLparser module, is this the only way to parse an xml, ie holding the entire xml content in one string. Can't we pass the path of the xml as done in XML: Smiley Tongue

arser?

2. $rootnode->value(); gives me the rootnode of the xml, how do I traverse the xml and get the attributes of a particular node?

perldoc on XMLparser is not very clear.

TIA

I tend to use TeamSite::XMLnode - I find the perldoc sufficient for most of my needs, and usually simple test scripts with either the Perl debugger or use of Data&colon; Smiley Very Happy

umper helps me through any difficult parts.

If you want to use XML: Smiley Tongue

arser - you're more than welcome to do so.
