OPTIONAL EXPERIMENTAL SYNOPSIS #include mixed* xml_parse(string xml) DESCRIPTION Parses the given string as a XML conform string. The string must have only one root tag, subsequent root tags are ignored. If the xml string is correct, an array is of three elements is returned, where as the following indices are defined: string XML_TAG_NAME The name of the XML tag. mapping XML_TAG_ATTRIBUTES All attributes given to the XML tag as mapping where the key is the attribute name and the value is its string value. If the xml tag does not contain any attributes, this element is set 0. mixed * XML_TAG_CONTENTS The contents of this xml tag as array. This array may contain either strings, or arrays of sub-tags again with three elements (see example) If the xml tag does not contain anything, the element is set 0. If the XML string is not well formed, or there is not enough memory to parse the whole XML structure into the array an error is raised. The function is available only if the driver is compiled with Iksemel support. In that case, __XML_DOM__ is defined. EXAMPLE xml_parse("") -> ({ "abc", 0, 0 }) xml_parse("") -> ({ "abc", ([ "xyz" : "cde" ]), 0 }) xml_parse("" + " This is the title" + " This is a chapter" + " We want bold here." + "") -> ({ "book" , ([ "language" : "common" ]) , ({ ({ "title" , 0 , ({ "This is a title" }) }) , ({ "chapter" , 0 , ({ "This is a chapter" }) }) , ({ "chapter" , 0 , ({ "We want " , ({ "b" , 0 , ({ "bold" }) }) , "here" }) }) }) }) HISTORY Added in LDMud 3.3.718.
