IDOMCount
 

IDOMCount uses the provided IDOM API to parse an XML file, constructs the DOM tree and walks through the tree counting the elements (using just one API call).

Building on Windows
 

Load the xerces-c1_5_1-win32\samples\Projects\Win32\VC6\samples.dsw Microsoft Visual C++ workspace inside your MSVC IDE. Then build the project marked IDOMCount.


Building on UNIX
 
cd xerces-c1_5_1-linux/samples
./runConfigure -p<platform> -c<C_compiler> -x<C++_compiler>
cd IDOMCount
gmake

This will create the object files in the current directory and the executable named IDOMCount in ' xerces-c1_5_1-linux/bin' directory.

To delete all the generated object files and executables, type

gmake clean

Running IDOMCount
 

The IDOMCount sample parses an XML file and prints out a count of the number of elements in the file. To run IDOMCount, enter the following

IDOMCount <XML file>

The following parameters may be set from the command line

Usage:
    IDOMCount [-v -n] {XML file}

This program invokes the XML4C IDOM parser, builds
the DOM tree, and then prints the number of elements
found in the input XML file.

Options:
    -v=xxx      Validation scheme [always | never | auto*]
    -n          Enable namespace processing. Defaults to off.

  * = Default if not provided explicitly

-v=always will force validation
-v=never will not use any validation
-v=auto will validate if a DOCTYPE declaration is present in the XML document

Here is a sample output from IDOMCount

cd xerces-c1_5_1-linux/samples/data
IDOMCount -v=always personal.xml
personal.xml: 20 ms (37 elems)

The output of both versions should be same.

NoteThe time reported by the system may be different, depending on your processor type.
