XMLNode_node

Detailed Description

A XMLHandle is a class that wraps a node pointer with null checks; this is an incredibly useful thing. Note that XMLHandle is not part of the TinyXML DOM structure. It is a separate utility class.

Take an example:

	<Document>
		<Element attributeA = "valueA">
			<Child attributeB = "value1" />
			<Child attributeB = "value2" />
		</Element>
	</Document>
	

Assuming you want the value of "attributeB" in the 2nd "Child" element, it's very easy to write a *lot* of code that looks like:

	XMLElement* root = document.FirstChildElement( "Document" );
	if ( root )
	{
		XMLElement* element = root->FirstChildElement( "Element" );
		if ( element )
		{
			XMLElement* child = element->FirstChildElement( "Child" );
			if ( child )
			{
				XMLElement* child2 = child->NextSiblingElement( "Child" );
				if ( child2 )
				{
					// Finally do something useful.
	

And that doesn't even cover "else" cases. XMLHandle addresses the verbosity of such code. A XMLHandle checks for null pointers so it is perfectly safe and correct to use:

	XMLHandle docHandle( &document );
	XMLElement* child2 = docHandle.FirstChild( "Document" ).FirstChild( "Element" ).FirstChild().NextSibling().ToElement();
	if ( child2 )
	{
		// do something useful
	

Which is MUCH more concise and useful.

It is also safe to copy handles - internally they are nothing more than node pointers.

	XMLHandle handleCopy = handle;
	

See also XMLConstHandle, which is the same as XMLHandle, but operates on const objects.
