Example 1. Creating and saving document
var
aDoc: ILMDXmlDocument;
anElem: ILMDXmlElement;
begin
// Create empty XML document with root element 'base'
aDoc := LMDCreateXmlDocument('base');
// Create 'elem1' element and add it as child node for root element
anElem := aDoc.DocumentElement.AppendElement('elem1');
// Add 'a1' and 'a2' attributes to 'elem1'
anElem.SetAttr('a1', 'elem1 a1');
anElem.SetAttr('a2', 'elem1 a2');
// Add another element 'elem2'
anElem := aDoc.DocumentElement.AppendElement('elem');
anElem.SetAttr('a1', 'elem2 a1');
anElem.SetAttr('a2', 'elem2 a2');
// Save document to file
aDoc.Save('Test.xml');
end;
There is content of saved file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1251"?>
<base>
<elem1 a1="elem1 a1" a2="elem1 a2"/>
<elem2 a1="elem2 a1" a2="elem2 a2"/>
</base>
Example 2. Reading and analyzing documents
External xml file to parse. Test.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="window-1251"?>
<root>
<elem1 a1="v1" a2="v2"> 1</elem1>
<!-- -->
<elem2 a1="v1" a2="v2"> 2</elem2>
</root>
var
aDoc: ILMDXmlDocument;
anElem2: ILMDXmlNode;
begin
// Create empty XML document
aDoc := LMDCreateXmlDocument;
// Read content from file
aDoc.Load('Test.xml');
// Show in Memo1 full text of xml that we read above
Memo1.Lines.Text := aDoc.Xml;
Memo1.Lines.Add('------------------------');
// Search element with tag 'elem2'
anElem2 := aDoc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode('elem2');
// Show in Memo1 XML-text anElem2
Memo1.Lines.Add(anElem2.Xml);
Memo1.Lines.Add('------------------------');
// Show in Memo1 value of 'a2' attribute from anElem2 element
Memo1.Lines.Add(anElem2.GetAttr('a2'));
end;
Example 3. It shows how to save structures to xml
type
TSex =(sxMale, sxFemale);
type
TAuthor = record
FirstName: string;
LastName: string;
Sex: TSex;
end;
type
TBook = record
ISBN: string;
Title: string;
Authors: array of TAuthor;
end;
var
LLibrary: array of TBook;
procedure WriteAuthor(AParent: ILMDXmlNode; AAuthor: TAuthor);
begin
with AParent.AppendElement('author') do
begin
with AppendElement('firstname') do
AppendText(AAuthor.FirstName);
with AppendElement('lastname') do
AppendText(AAuthor.LastName);
SetAttr('sex', GetEnumName(TypeInfo(TSex), ord(AAuthor.Sex)));
end;
end;
procedure WriteBook(AParent: ILMDXmlNode; ABook: TBook);
var
i: integer;
LAuthors: ILMDXmlElement;
begin
with AParent.AppendElement('book') do
begin
with AppendElement('isbn') do
AppendText(ABook.ISBN);
with AppendElement('title') do
AppendText(ABook.Title);
LAuthors := AppendElement('authors');
for i := Low(ABook.Authors) to High(ABook.Authors) do
WriteAuthor(LAuthors, ABook.Authors[i]);
end;
end;
procedure TForm9.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
LXMLLib: ILMDXmlDocument;
i: Integer;
begin
SetLength(LLibrary, 3);
LLibrary[0].ISBN := 'ISBN-10: 0586010807';
LLibrary[0].Title := 'Foundation';
SetLength(LLibrary[0].Authors, 1);
LLibrary[0].Authors[0].FirstName := 'Isaac';
LLibrary[0].Authors[0].LastName := 'Asimov';
LLibrary[0].Authors[0].Sex := sxMale;
LLibrary[1].ISBN := 'ISBN-10: 0553293370';
LLibrary[1].Title := 'Foundation and Empire';
SetLength(LLibrary[1].Authors, 1);
LLibrary[1].Authors[0].FirstName := 'Isaac';
LLibrary[1].Authors[0].LastName := 'Asimov';
LLibrary[1].Authors[0].Sex := sxMale;
LLibrary[2].ISBN := 'ISBN-10: 0543903508';
LLibrary[2].Title := 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur''s Court';
SetLength(LLibrary[2].Authors, 1);
LLibrary[2].Authors[0].FirstName := 'Mark';
LLibrary[2].Authors[0].LastName := 'Twain';
LLibrary[2].Authors[0].Sex := sxMale;
LXMLLib := LMDCreateXmlDocument('library');
for i := Low(LLibrary) to High(LLibrary) do
WriteBook(LXMLLib.DocumentElement, LLibrary[i]);
LXMLLib.Save('library.xml');
end;
Example 4. How to read XML with unknown structure an fill TTreeView with it
procedure XMLToTreeView(const AFileName, AOptElement, AOptAttr: String; ATreeView: TTreeView);
var
LXMLDoc: ILMDXmlDocument;
procedure FillTree(ARootElement: ILMDXmlNode; AParent: TTreeNode);
var
i: Integer;
LCurrentNode: TTreeNode;
LNode: ILMDXmlNode;
begin
for i := 0 to ARootElement.ChildNodes.Count - 1 do
begin
if (ARootElement.ChildNodes.Item[i].NodeType = LMD_NODE_ELEMENT) then
begin
LCurrentNode := ATreeView.Items.AddChild(AParent, ARootElement.ChildNodes[i].NodeName + ': ' +
ARootElement.ChildNodes[i].Text);
LNode := ARootElement.ChildNodes[i].SelectSingleNode(AOptElement);
if Assigned(LNode) then
LCurrentNode.Text := Format('Has child element %s, ', [AOptElement]) + LCurrentNode.Text;
if ARootElement.ChildNodes[i].AttrExists(AOptAttr) then
begin
LCurrentNode.Text := Format('Has the "%s" attribute, ', [AOptAttr]) + LCurrentNode.Text;
end;
FillTree(ARootElement.ChildNodes[i], LCurrentNode);
end;
end;
end;
begin
LXMLDoc := LMDCreateXmlDocument();
LXMLDoc.Load(AFileName);
FillTree(LXMLDoc.DocumentElement, nil);
end;
