27.2 XmlWriter Class

The class XmlWriter allows you to write the content of an XML file. As soon as you open an XML file for writing, you have to write each node one after the other - from the first node to the last one in the required depth. The class XmlWriter is less flexible than the class XmlDocument according to the' Document Object Model' (DOM). However, you can use the class XmlWriter to write the content of a (new) XML file quickly and easily.

The XML lines can be written to a file immediately or stored temporarily in memory so that their contents can be used as a string. You can create an object of the class:

DIM hXMLWriter AS XmlWriter
hXMLWriter = NEW XmlWriter

27.2.0 Properties

The class XmlWriter has these properties, among others:

Property	Data type	Description
DTD	_XmlWriterDTD	Returns the content of an existing (internal) document type definition section (DTD).
Data	String	Returns the content of the XML stream as a string.

Table 27.2.0.1: Properties of the XmlWriter class

27.2.1 Methods

The class XmlWriter only has these methods:

Method	Return type	Description
Open ([ fileName As String, Indent As Boolean, Encoding As String])	-	Open an XML stream for writing. You must call the Open() method before all other XmlWriter methods. fileName: If you want to write directly to an XML file, fileName must be a valid file path. Set fileName to zero to get the content as a string after calling the EndDocument method (if the entire document was written). Indent: If the parameter is set to True, the file will be formatted with indentations. Encoding: By default, XmlWriter uses UTF-8 encoding to write the file. You can specify any other encoding if it is supported by the libxml2 library.
Close ()	String	Close the XML stream.
Comment (sComment As String)	-	Insert a comment into the XML stream. The syntax corresponds to that of HTML comments.
PI (Target As String, Content As String)	-	Inserts process information into the XML stream. You should only do this if you are sure that the XML parser can implement it.
StartElement (TagName As String, Attributes As String[], Prefix As String, URI As String])	-	Starts an XML node named' TagName'. If this node contains attributes, you can insert these attributes into a string array. Each attribute must be a name-value pair, with the first string being the attribute name and the second the attribute value. Prefix is the namespace prefix and URI of the namespace URI of this node.
Element (TagName As String[, Value As String, Prefix As String, URI As String])	-	Inserts an XML element into the XML stream. The three parameters Value, Prefix and URI of type String are optional. TagName: Name of the element - Value: Value of the element - Prefix: Prefix for the NameSpace - URI: Specification for a link.
EndElement ()	-	Closes the current element with </element_name>.
Text (sText As String)	-	Inserts sText in an element.
CDATA (Data As String)	-	Inserts a CDATA section with the content' Data'.
Attribute (Name As String, Value As String[, Prefix As String, URI As String])	-	Inserts attributes. The Prefix and URI parameters are optional.
Flush ()	-	Deletes all elements.
EndDocument ()	String	Renders the XML document and returns the complete, well-formed XML document as a string.

Table 27.2.1.1: Methods of the class XmlWriter

You can define attributes in this way:

hXMLElement.SetAttribute("src", Application.Path &/ "images/augentrost.jpg\" width=\"255\" height=\"148\" old=\"Eyebright")

In my opinion, the following multiline variant is easier to read because you don't have to mask certain characters:

hXMLElement.SetAttribute("src", Application.Path &/ "images/augentrost.jpg")
hXMLElement.SetAttribute("width", "255")
hXMLElement.SetAttribute("height", "148")
hXMLElement.SetAttribute("old", "Eyebright")

CDATA areas are protected data areas in which there are no restrictions on the characters they contain. The CDATA areas always begin with the string <![CDATA[ and end with]>. In between each character is valid. Example of a valid CDATA area:

<![CDATA[hXMLElement.SetAttribute("height", "148")]]>

27.2.2 Digression: Bash script

A smart way to write the content of a CSV file to an XML file is to use a bash script developed by the author, to which you pass the path to the CSV file, the separator character (field separator) and the escape character as parameters. This is the source code of csv2xml. sh:

#!/bin/bash
 
  if [ $# -ne 3 ] # If the number of parameters (value in $#) is not equal to 3 ...
  then
    # COLOUR VALUES:
    RO="\033[31m"    # red
    NO="\033[0m"     # normal
    # echo -e "${RO}Syntax: $0 CSV-File-Path Field separator Escape character"
    echo -e "${RO}Syntax: $0 'CSV-File-Path' 'Field separator' 'Escape character'"
    exit 1
  fi
 
  # Saving the variable IFS in the variable backIFS (IFS = Internal Field Separator)
  backIFS=$IFS
 
  file_in=$1 # Parameter 1
  echo $file_in
  # Create file name for file_out (XML file)
  filebasename=${file_in%.*}
  fileextension=".xml"
  file_out=$filebasename$fileextension
  echo $file_out
 
  separator=$2 # Parameter 2
  escape=$3    # Parameter 3
 
  # 1. Read line (= list of field names) from CSV file
  read header_line < "$file_in"
  IFS=$separator
  # echo "IFS = $IFS"
  # Save the list of field names in the array 'header'. -> Operator =()
  header=($header_line)
  # echo "Number of elements in the array 'header' : "${#header[@]}
  # Output all elements in the 'header' array
  # echo "Elemente im Array 'header': "${header[*]}
  IFS='*'
  # Read in the content of the CSV file line by line and save it in the array 'content'.
  i=0
  while read content[$i]
  do
    # echo "Line $i: ${content[i]}"
    ((i++))
  done < $1
  # 1. Delete line in array 'content
  unset content[0]
  # copy array - but without the now empty first element
  content=(${content[*]})
  # Output all elements in the 'content' array
  # for record in ${content[@]}
  # do
  #   echo "LINE : "$record
  # done
  # Writing the content of the XML file
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # XML-Prolog
  echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>' > $file_out
  # XML-Root-Element
  echo '<Data>' >> $file_out
  # XML-Elemente
  #..............................................................
  for record in "${content[@]}"
  do
  echo '  <Record>' >> $file_out
    index=0
    #............................................................
    IFS=$separator list=($record)
    # echo "Number of all elements in the array 'list' = "${#list[@]}
    # Output all elements in the 'list' array
    # echo ${list[*]}
    for (( c=0; c<=${#header[@]}-1; c++ ))
    do
      tag=${header[$c]#$escape}
      tag=${tag%$escape}
      value=${list[$c]#$escape}
      value=${value%$escape}
      echo '    <'${tag}'>'${value}'</'${tag}'>' >> $file_out
    done
    #............................................................
    echo '  </Record>' >> $file_out
    ((index++))
  done
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   echo '</Data>' >> $file_out
  IFS=$backIFS
  # sleep 2s
  # cat $file_out
  exit 0

Calling the executable bash script is simple and returns db. xml as an XML file:

$ ./csv2xml.sh "db.csv" "," "\""
db.csv
db.xml

27.2.3 Projects

All presented projects demonstrate different approaches and data sources to export data into an XML file.

27.2.3.1 Project 1

Project 1 (data2xml_writer) shows you how to rewrite an XML document using the class XmlWriter. The data to be exported is made available within the program in a structure (data type Struct). Among other things, this data type saves the advantage of addressing the individual data by name instead of using an anonymous index:

Figure 27.2.3.1.1: Data type Struct (1st data set)

Only the most important procedure WriteXML () is introduced and commented:

[45]   txaXML.Text = hXmlWriter.Data
[46]   File.Save(xmlFilePath, hXmlWriter.Data)
[47]
[48] End

Comment:

In line 5 a new XmlWriter object is created and opened in line 6 in memory. Alternatively, you could also write all the data to be exported to an XML file immediately, as specified in row 7.
Line 9 writes process information to the XmlWriter object. It is only pseudo data that demonstrates the writing of process information. Real process information could, for example, contain information about the output format for an XML parser and thus control the read process.
Between lines 11 to 41 all data - also in a For-To-Next control structure - is written to the XmlWriter object.
The XML content in a TextArea is displayed in line 45.
Only in line 46 is the XML content stored in an XML file. A file save dialog box is not offered.
The project can easily be adapted to data from another data source.

27.2.3.2 Project 2

In project 2 (dbdata2xml_writer) data from a (SQLite3) database table is read out via an (internal) filter and then displayed. The selected data sets are exported to an XML file using the class XmlWriter.

Comment:

All data from the database table is read and displayed in rows 11 to 52. It would also be possible to filter only certain data. This is done, for example, in the currently commented out line 22, which corresponds to line 61, which is also commented out.
Line 110 stores the complete XML content in an XML file created in line 76. A file save dialog box is not offered.
The main burden in the second project is the procedure Export2XML.
A TextArea on the FShowData form, which is opened modally, is used to display the contents of the XML file:

[1] ' Gambas class file
[2]
[3] Public Sub Form_Open()
[4]   FShowData.Resizable = True
[5]   FShowData.Caption = ("XMLData")
[6]   If Exist("db2xml.xml") Then txaXMLData.Text = File.Load("db2xml.xml")
[7]   txaXMLData.Pos = 0
[8] End

Note: Before you convert project 2, you should check whether the database management used provides a data export in XML format.

27.2.3.3.3 Project 3

In the third project, data is exported from a CSV file into an XML file using the classes XmlWriter and CsvFile (gb. utils). The class CsvFile (gb. util) can be used to read a CSV file and decode the content. Please note that the class CsvFile cannot handle all CSV formats. Therefore, the used CSV file is prepared in such a way that it complies with the rules for the format of CSV files from Jon Avrach - found on the website https://www.thoughtspot.com/blog/6-rules-creating-valid-csv-files? chapter 6.

Figure 27.2.3.3.3.1: Original CSV file

Comment:

Note: CSV files without a field list cannot be processed by the class CsvFile (gb. utils).
There are two missing in the list of field names - identifiable by “” and,,.
In the first data set three values are missing; in the second two.

Figure 27.2.3.3.3.2: Contents of a prepared CSV file

Only then is the data from the prepared CSV file - which is temporarily stored in a CSV file - exported to an XML file:
