a parse_str function that frees its argument automatically

netcat — Mon, 01 Dec 2014 22:52:24 -0000

A function like ezxml_parse_alloc_str would be convenient that takes ownership of the given string, like:

// parse the given allocated xml string (that is freed automatically on
// ezxml_free) and return an ezxml structure
ezxml_t ezxml_parse_alloc_str(char *s, size_t len)
{
    ezxml_root_t root;

    root = (ezxml_root_t)ezxml_parse_str(s, len);
    root->len = -1; // so we know to free s in ezxml_free()
    return &root->xml;
}

Line counter

Feature request: line counter in struct ezxml.

unsigned int line; // line number on which this tag was opened (starting
from 0)

This field counts the number of newlines encountered before the opening
'<' of the tag and records that value for each tag. It is mainly useful for
error handling, as it allows the program to determine on what line an
unexpected tag occurs.
