tree: interfaces for tree manipulation

## tree

tree - interfaces for tree manipulation

this module describes the structures found in an tree resulting from an XML or HTML parsing, as well as the API provided for various processing on that tree

## Description

## Details

### Macro LIBXML2_NEW_BUFFER

    #define LIBXML2_NEW_BUFFER;

Macro used to express that the API use the new buffers for xmlParserInputBuffer and xmlOutputBuffer. The change was introduced in 2.9.0.

### Macro XML_GET_CONTENT

    #define XML_GET_CONTENT;

Macro to extract the content pointer of a node.

### Macro XML_GET_LINE

    #define XML_GET_LINE;

Macro to extract the line number of an element node.

### Macro XML_LOCAL_NAMESPACE

    #define XML_LOCAL_NAMESPACE;

A namespace declaration node.

### Macro XML_XML_ID

    #define XML_XML_ID;

This is the name for the special xml:id attribute

### Macro XML_XML_NAMESPACE

    #define XML_XML_NAMESPACE;

This is the namespace for the special xml: prefix predefined in the XML Namespace specification.

### Macro xmlBufferAllocScheme

    #define xmlBufferAllocScheme;

### Macro xmlChildrenNode

    #define xmlChildrenNode;

Macro for compatibility naming layer with libxml1. Maps to "children."

### Macro xmlDefaultBufferSize

    #define xmlDefaultBufferSize;

### Macro xmlRootNode

    #define xmlRootNode;

Macro for compatibility naming layer with libxml1. Maps to "children".

    						 xmlNodePtr node,
    						 const xmlChar * nsName,
    						 const xmlChar * nsPrefix)

A function called to acquire namespaces (xmlNs) from the wrapper.

`ctxt`: | a DOM wrapper context
`node`: | the context node (element or attribute)
`nsName`: | the requested namespace name
`nsPrefix`: | the requested namespace prefix
`Returns`: | an xmlNsPtr or NULL in case of an error.

### Function type xmlDeregisterNodeFunc

    void	xmlDeregisterNodeFunc		(xmlNodePtr node)

Signature for the deregistration callback of a discarded node

`node`: | the current node

### Function type xmlRegisterNodeFunc

    void	xmlRegisterNodeFunc		(xmlNodePtr node)

Signature for the registration callback of a created node

`node`: | the current node

### xmlAddChild ()

    xmlNodePtr	xmlAddChild		(xmlNodePtr parent,
    					 xmlNodePtr cur)

Unlink @cur and append it to the children of @parent. If @cur is a text node, it may be merged with an adjacent text node and freed. In this case the text node containing the merged content is returned. If @cur is an attribute node, it is appended to the attributes of @parent. If the attribute list contains an attribute with a name matching @cur, the old attribute is destroyed. General notes: Move operations like xmlAddChild can cause element or attribute nodes to reference namespaces that aren't declared in one of their ancestors. This can lead to use-after-free errors if the elements containing the declarations are freed later, especially when moving nodes from one document to another. You should consider calling xmlReconciliateNs after a move operation to normalize namespaces. Another option is to call xmlDOMWrapAdoptNode with the target parent before moving a node. For the most part, move operations don't check whether the resulting tree structure is valid. Users must make sure that parent nodes only receive children of valid types. Inserted child nodes must never be an ancestor of the parent node to avoid cycles in the tree structure. In general, only document, document fragments, elements and attributes should be used as parent nodes. When moving a node between documents and a memory allocation fails, the node's content will be corrupted and it will be unlinked. In this case, the node must be freed manually. Moving DTDs between documents isn't supported.

`parent`: | the parent node
`cur`: | the child node
`Returns`: | @cur or a sibling if @cur was merged. Returns NULL if arguments are invalid or a memory allocation failed.

### xmlAddChildList ()

    xmlNodePtr	xmlAddChildList		(xmlNodePtr parent,
    					 xmlNodePtr cur)

Append a node list to another node. See xmlAddChild.

`parent`: | the parent node
`cur`: | the first node in the list
`Returns`: | the last child or NULL in case of error.

### xmlAddNextSibling ()

    xmlNodePtr	xmlAddNextSibling	(xmlNodePtr prev,
    					 xmlNodePtr cur)

Unlinks @cur and inserts it as next sibling after @prev. Unlike xmlAddChild this function does not merge text nodes. If @cur is an attribute node, it is inserted after attribute @prev. If the attribute list contains an attribute with a name matching @cur, the old attribute is destroyed. See the notes in xmlAddChild.

`prev`: | the target node
`cur`: | the new node
`Returns`: | @cur or a sibling if @cur was merged. Returns NULL if arguments are invalid or a memory allocation failed.

### xmlAddPrevSibling ()

    xmlNodePtr	xmlAddPrevSibling	(xmlNodePtr next,
    					 xmlNodePtr cur)

Unlinks @cur and inserts it as previous sibling before @next. Unlike xmlAddChild this function does not merge text nodes. If @cur is an attribute node, it is inserted before attribute @next. If the attribute list contains an attribute with a name matching @cur, the old attribute is destroyed. See the notes in xmlAddChild.

`next`: | the target node
`cur`: | the new node
`Returns`: | @cur or a sibling if @cur was merged. Returns NULL if arguments are invalid or a memory allocation failed.

### xmlAddSibling ()

    xmlNodePtr	xmlAddSibling		(xmlNodePtr node,
    					 xmlNodePtr cur)

Unlinks @cur and inserts it as last sibling of @node. If @cur is a text node, it may be merged with an adjacent text node and freed. In this case the text node containing the merged content is returned. If @cur is an attribute node, it is appended to the attribute list containing @node. If the attribute list contains an attribute with a name matching @cur, the old attribute is destroyed. See the notes in xmlAddChild.

`node`: | the target node
`cur`: | the new node
`Returns`: | @cur or a sibling if @cur was merged. Returns NULL if arguments are invalid or a memory allocation failed.

### xmlAttrSerializeTxtContent ()

    void	xmlAttrSerializeTxtContent	(xmlBufferPtr buf,
    					 xmlDocPtr doc,
    					 xmlAttrPtr attr,
    					 const xmlChar * string)

Serialize text attribute values to an xml simple buffer

`buf`: | the XML buffer output
`doc`: | the document
`attr`: | the attribute node
`string`: | the text content

### xmlBufContent ()

    xmlChar *	xmlBufContent		(const xmlBuf * buf)

Function to extract the content of a buffer

`buf`: | the buffer
`Returns`: | the internal content

### xmlBufEnd ()

    xmlChar *	xmlBufEnd		(xmlBufPtr buf)

Function to extract the end of the content of a buffer

`buf`: | the buffer
`Returns`: | the end of the internal content or NULL in case of error

### xmlBufGetNodeContent ()

    int	xmlBufGetNodeContent		(xmlBufPtr buf,
    					 const xmlNode * cur)

Read the value of a node @cur, this can be either the text carried directly by this node if it's a TEXT node or the aggregate string of the values carried by this node child's (TEXT and ENTITY_REF). Entity references are substituted. Fills up the buffer @buf with this value

`buf`: | a buffer xmlBufPtr
`cur`: | the node being read
`Returns`: | 0 in case of success and -1 in case of error.

### xmlBufNodeDump ()

    size_t	xmlBufNodeDump			(xmlBufPtr buf,
    					 xmlDocPtr doc,
    					 xmlNodePtr cur,
    					 int level,
    					 int format)

### xmlSearchNs ()

    xmlNsPtr	xmlSearchNs		(xmlDocPtr doc,
    					 xmlNodePtr node,
    					 const xmlChar * nameSpace)

Search a Ns registered under a given name space for a document. recurse on the parents until it finds the defined namespace or return NULL otherwise. @nameSpace can be NULL, this is a search for the default namespace. We don't allow to cross entities boundaries. If you don't declare the namespace within those you will be in troubles !!! A warning is generated to cover this case.

`doc`: | the document
`node`: | the current node
`nameSpace`: | the namespace prefix
`Returns`: | the namespace pointer or NULL if no namespace was found or a memory allocation failed. Allocations can only fail if the "xml" namespace is queried.

### xmlStringGetNodeList ()

    xmlNodePtr	xmlStringGetNodeList	(const xmlDoc * doc,
