Parse XML with C

Question

Hi I am trying to use C to parse xml, but all the examples I can find are using a file to get the xml, I have the xml already loaded into a variable and I want libxml2 to take the xml from there instead of a file.... but I can't figure out how!

Any help would be appreciated thanks

There is actually an example on their website that does exactly what you want: xmlsoft.org/examples/parse3.c. — Bertrand Marron

@Cédric: not exactly a duplicate. The OP is trying to parse an XML string, from memory, and not a XML file. — Bertrand Marron

Have a look at this example: using XmlReadMemory

Look at the signature of xmlParseDoc function.

It takes const xmlChar * cur as a parameter, and xmlChar is actually defined as unsigned char here
