TinyXML: Save document to char * or string

I'm attempting to use TinyXML to read and save from memory, instead of only reading and saving files to disk.

It seems that the documnent's parse function can load a char *. But then I need to save the document to a char * when I'm done with it. Does anyone know about this?

Edit: The printing & streaming functions aren't what I'm looking for. They output in a viewable format, I need the actual xml content.

Edit: Printing is cool.

Solution

  • I'm not familiar with TinyXML, but from the documentation it seems that by using operator << to a C++ stream (so you can use C++ string streams) or a TiXMLPrinter class you can get an STL string without using a file. See TinyXML documentation (look for the "Printing" section)
