How to read this XML using tinyxml
I have this XML file...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Data>
<!-- data-->
<Packet>
<Name>Buffer</Name>
<Value>v1</Value>
<Item>myitem1</Item>
<Item>myitem2</Item>
<Item>myitem3</Item>
<Item>myitem4</Item>
</Packet>
</Data>
above is the pattern of the XML i have and cannot change the pattern (strictly).
Using tinyxml in C++, I want to read each <Item> and stack it into a vector.
I am having problems to extact each <Item>. In order to do that I should by pass/ignore <Name> and <Value>. Can some one show me how to do this..using tiny xml.
Here's what I have tried so far.
void readXML()
{
TiXmlDocument document("myfile.xml");
bool loadOk = doument.LoadFile();
if (loadOk)
{
TiXmlElement *currentElement = document.RootElement()->Fi
while (currentElement != NULL)
{
std::string elementType = currentElement->ValueStr()
if (elementType == "Item")
{
std::cout << elementType << std::endl;
//I am just printing here. I can put it to a vector later.
}
currentElement = currentElement->NextSiblin
}
}
}

OK I know I closed this Q. but I am having problems getting the actual value inside <Item> tags. So in the block,...
if (elementType == "Item")
{
//How to get the actual value "Myitem1" inside <Item>Myitem1</Item>
}
if (elementType == "Item")
{
//How to get the actual value "Myitem1" inside <Item>Myitem1</Item>
}

OK I found it. Thanks. Ignore previous request.
The simplest way would be to call 'GetText()' (or any appropriate other method, see http://www.grinninglizard.com/tinyxmldocs/classTiXmlElement.html), e.g.
std::string text = currentElement->GetText();
