Xmlreader: getNodeData and getNodeName return same value?

[OnyxIdol]

Ok, So I'm trying to use IXmlreader. But, whenever I call getNodeData() or getNodeName(), the result is always the same value.

I tried to use IXMLReaderUTF8 instead, same result. I also tried changing the encoding of my XML-file from ANSI to UTF8 to UNICODE to no advance.

If I am not mistaking, the getNodeData() Method should return everything that is inside the element, that is, entire subnodes and such.

What Am I doing wrong?

Code: Select all

IXMLReaderUTF8 *reader=files->createXMLReaderUTF8("../debug/Units2.xml");

	stringw MessageText;
	while(reader&&reader->read())
	{		
		stringw nodeName=reader->getNodeName();
		stringw nodeData=reader->getNodeData();
	}
	reader->drop();

Code: Select all

<data>
  <object id="drone" type="unitTemplate">
    <primary id="drone_body"/>
    <assets>
      <!--A plain skinned node-->
      <asset id="drone_head" attach="head"/>
      <!--A weapon-->
      <asset id="minigun_left" attach="gun_left"/>
      <asset id="minigun_right" attach="gun_right"/>
    </assets>
    <specifics>
      <unitStats hp="500" speed="0,1" />
    </specifics>
  </object>
</data>

I'm having similar problem. I got my irrlicht from svn (revision 1420).

I have tried

Code: Select all

irr::io::IrrXMLReader* xml = irr::io::createIrrXMLReader("config.xml");

and

Code: Select all

irr::io::IXMLReaderUTF8 *xml = filesystem->createXMLReaderUTF8("config.xml");

both methods gave me same results, that was getNodeName() == getNodeData().

I have also checked CXMLReaderImpl.h, the implementations of getNodeName() and getNodeData() are the same

Code: Select all

	//! Returns the name of the current node.
	virtual const char_type* getNodeName() const
	{
		return NodeName.c_str();
	}


	//! Returns data of the current node.
	virtual const char_type* getNodeData() const
	{
		return NodeName.c_str();
	}

i believe there was nothing wrong in irrlicht engine, since the irr mesh example works fine, but may be the irrxml example was wrong or missing some steps?

ok, i'd found the solution myself. indeed there's nothing wrong with irrxml.

i believe irrxml see a xml statement in this way

Code: Select all

<AAA>BBB</AAA>

AAA, BBB and /AAA are considered as different node types.

therefore,
AAA -> io::EXN_ELEMENT, xml->getNodeName() == "AAA"
BBB -> io::EXN_TEXT, xml->getNodeName() == "BBB", xml->getNodeData() == "BBB"
/BBB -> io::EXN_ELEMENT_END, xml->getNodeName() == "AAA"
