I have been trying to deserialized a nested XML with SWXMLHash, I was wordering if someone could help me ? I apologize in advance, I'm new to this stuff. Thanks in advance for helping.
here is an extract of the XML :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<kml

</ExtendedData>

</Placemark>
here is the struct and the function I'm using :
`
struct XMLPlacemark: XMLObjectDeserialization {
var name: String
var visibility: Int
var address: String
var description: String
var styleUrl: String
var cpnumber : Int
var chargingdevice : [String]
static func deserialize(_ node: XMLIndexer) throws -> XMLPlacemark {
return try XMLPlacemark(
name: node["name"].value(),
visibility: node["visibility"].value(),
address: node["address"].value(),
description: node["description"].value(),
styleUrl: node["styleUrl"].value(),
cpnumber: node["ExtendedData"]["Data"].withAttribute("name", "CPnum")["value"].value(),
chargingdevice: node["ExtendedData"]["Data"].withAttribute("name","chargingdevice")["value"].value()
)
}
}
func loadtest() {
let xml = XMLHash.parse(stationXML)
if let station: [XMLPlacemark] = try? xml["kml"]["Document"]["Placemark"].value() {
station.forEach {station in
print("\(station.chargingdevice)")
}
}
}
Here is the result I get :
["{\"id\":10644,\"name\":\"CP2500\",\"numberOfConnectors\":2,\"connectors\":[{\"id\":59985,\"name\":\"CP2500 - 1\",\"maxchspeed\":22.08,\"connector\":1,\"description\":\"AVAILABLE\"},{\"id\":59986,\"name\":\"CP2500 - 2\",\"maxchspeed\":22.08,\"connector\":2,\"description\":\"AVAILABLE\"}]}"]
I'm missing the other value of the node :
<value>{"id":10645,"name":"CP2501",....
Any idea ?
Okay, so I understand what the issue here. The withAttribute method only returns a single attribute match, not all matches. That's why it is only returning the first match. You can see the implementation here: https://github.com/drmohundro/SWXMLHash/blob/main/Source/XMLIndexer.swift#L159.
Because you're wanting to filter on these types, you'll need to tweak the implementation slightly. Here is a test I wrote that works the way you're expecting:
struct XMLPlacemark: XMLObjectDeserialization {
var name: String
var visibility: Int
var address: String
var description: String
var styleUrl: String
var cpnumber : Int
var chargingdevice : [String]
static func deserialize(_ node: XMLIndexer) throws -> XMLPlacemark {
var devices: [String] = []
for dataElem in node["ExtendedData"]["Data"].all {
if (dataElem.element?.attribute(by: "name")?.text == "chargingdevice") {
devices.append(try dataElem["value"].value())
}
}
return try XMLPlacemark(
name: node["name"].value(),
visibility: node["visibility"].value(),
address: node["address"].value(),
description: node["description"].value(),
styleUrl: node["styleUrl"].value(),
cpnumber: node["ExtendedData"]["Data"].withAttribute("name", "CPnum")["value"].value(),
chargingdevice: devices
)
}
}
func testLoading() {
let xml = XMLHash.parse(xmlWithComplexType)
do {
let station: [XMLPlacemark] = try xml["kml"]["Document"]["Placemark"].value()
station.forEach {station in
print("hello")
print("\(station.chargingdevice)")
}
} catch {
print("failure? \(error)")
}
}
