CXml - A Wrapping Class for MSXML 3.0/4.0/5.0/6.0

This wrapping class will try to use the latest version of MSXML in the machine, and it is easy because of using auto_ptr.

Introduction

MSXML, a window component shipped with Windows / Office and other Microsoft products, exists in all Windows platforms. But there are different versions of MSXML, from 2.6 to 6.0, which causes a lot of problems.

This is a wrapping class library for MSXML 3.0/4.0/5.0/6.0 consisting of resolving the above problem -- you don't need to worry about the available MSXML version on different machines any more. Also it provides an easy-to-use interface -- each node in the XML is considered an object and you can use some code like below to locate a node.  

C++
xml.GetRoot()->GetChild(_T("a"))->GetChild(_T("b"))->GetChild(_T("c")) 

Sample Code

Please find the sample code in the demo project.

Using the Code

Copy all the files in the /CXml/*.* directory and add them into your project.

C++
#include "Xml.h"
using namespace JWXml;

Here, I have added a namespace for the classes, you can change it as you like.

MSXML Version

The class will try to choose the version of MSXML in the following order:

C++
hr = (hr == S_OK) ? hr : m_pDoc.CreateInstance( __uuidof(MSXML2::DOMDocument60) );
hr = (hr == S_OK) ? hr : m_pDoc.CreateInstance( __uuidof(MSXML2::DOMDocument30) );
hr = (hr == S_OK) ? hr : m_pDoc.CreateInstance( __uuidof(MSXML2::DOMDocument50) );
hr = (hr == S_OK) ? hr : m_pDoc.CreateInstance( __uuidof(MSXML2::DOMDocument40) );
hr = (hr == S_OK) ? hr : m_pDoc.CreateInstance( __uuidof(MSXML2::DOMDocument26) );
hr = (hr == S_OK) ? hr : m_pDoc.CreateInstance( __uuidof(MSXML2::DOMDocument) );
