XML是由World WideWeb联盟(W3C)定义的元语言。它已经成为一种通用的数据交换格式,它的平台无关性,语言无关性,系统无关性,给数据集成与交互带来了极大的方便。XML在不同的语言里解析方式都是一样的,只不过实现的语法不同而已。
XML本身只是以纯文本对数据进行编码的一种格式,要想利用XML,或者说利用XML文件中所编码的数据,必须先将数据从纯文本中解析出来,因此,必须有一个能够识别XML文档中信息的解析器,用来解释XML文档并提取其中的数据。然而,根据数据提取的不同需求,又存在着多种解析方式,不同的解析方式有着各自的优缺点和适用环境。选择合适的XML解析技术能够有效提升应用系统的整体性能。
所有的XML处理都从解析开始,无论是使用XSLT或Java语言,第一步都是要读入XML文件,解码结构和检索信息等等,这就是解析,即把代表XML文档的一个无结构的字符序列转换为满足XML语法的结构化组件的过程。
XML基本的的解析方式主要有两种:SAX(Simple API for XML)和DOM(Document ObjectModel)。
SAX是基于事件流的解析。SAX处理的优点非常类似于流媒体的优点。分析能够立即开始,而不是等待所有的数据被处理。而且,由于应用程序只是在读取数据时检查数据,因此不需要将数据存储在内存中。这对于大型文档来说是个巨大的优点。事实上,应用程序甚至不必解析整个文档,它可以在某个条件得到满足时停止解析。一般来说,SAX还比它的替代者DOM快很多。SAX解析器采用了基于事件的模型,它在解析XML文档的时候可以触发一系列的事件,当发现给定的tag的时候,它可以激活一个回调方法,告诉该方法制定的标签已经找到。SAX对内存的要求通常会比较低,因为它让开发人员来决定所要处理的tag。特别是当开发人员只需要处理文档中所包含的部分数据时,SAX这种扩展能力得到了更好的体现。但用SAX解析器的时候编码工作会比较困难,而且很难同时访问同一个文档中的多处不同数据。优点:(1)、不需要等待所有数据都被处理,分析就能立即开始;(2)、只在读取数据时检查数据,不需要保存在内存中;(3)、可以在某个条件得到满足时停止解析,不必解析整个文档;(4)、效率和性能较高,能解析大于系统内存的文档。缺点:(1)、需要应用程序自己负责TAG的处理逻辑(例如维护父/子关系等),文档越复杂程序就越复杂;(2)、单向导航,无法定位文档层次,很难同时访问同一文档的不同部分数据,不支持XPath。
DOM是用与平台和语言无关的方式表示XML文档的官方W3C标准。DOM是以层次结构组织的节点或信息片段的集合。这个层次结构允许开发人员在树中寻找特定信息。分析该结构通常需要加载整个文档和构造层次结构,然后才能做任何工作。由于它是基于信息层次的,因而DOM被认为是基于树或基于对象的。优点:(1)、允许应用程序对数据和结构做出更改;(2)、访问是双向的,可以在任何时候在树中上下导航,获取和操作任意部分的数据。缺点:通常需要加载整个XML文档来构造层次结构,消耗资源大。
基于C/C++语言的XML解析库包括:
(1)、Expat:http://www.libexpat.org/ ;
(2)、die-xml:https://code.google.com/p/die-xml/;
(3)、Xerces-C++:http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/index.html;
(4)、TinyXml:http://www.grinninglizard.com/tinyxml/;
Xerces-C++的编译和使用:
1、 从http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/download.cgi#verify下载 xerces-c-3.1.1.zip 源代码,并解压缩;
2、 用vs2010打开xerces-c-3.1.1\projects\Win32\VC10\xerces-all目录下的xerces-all.sln;
3、 分别选择SolutionConfigurations、Solution Platforms中相关项,然后选中Solution ‘xerces-all’,-->单击右键,选择执行Rebuild Solution,会在/Build/Win32/VC10目录下生成相应的动态库和静态库,这里选择Static Debug/xerces-c_static_3D.lib和Static Release/xerces-c_static_3.lib进行测试;
4、在’xerces-all’工作空间的基础上新建一个TestXerces工程,选中此工程,分别在Debug和Release下,工程属性(1)、Configuration Properties -->Character Set:Use Unicode Character Set; (2)、C/C++-->General-->Additional Include Directories: ../../../../../src ,C/C++ -->Prerocessor中加入:_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE _WINDOWS XERCES_STATIC_LIBRARY XERCES_BUILDING_LIBRARY XERCES_USE_TRANSCODER_WINDOWS XERCES_USE_MSGLOADER_INMEMORY XERCES_USE_NETACCESSOR_WINSOCK XERCES_USE_FILEMGR_WINDOWS XERCES_USE_MUTEXMGR_WINDOWS XERCES_PATH_DELIMITER_BACKSLASH HAVE_STRICMP HAVE_STRNICMP HAVE_LIMITS_H HAVE_SYS_TIMEB_H HAVE_FTIME HAVE_WCSUPR HAVE_WCSLWR HAVE_WCSICMP HAVE_WCSNICMP
