NotesDOMParser equivalent in C/C++ API

In LotusScript there is a NotesDOMParser that parses XML into a standard DOM tree. We can then read the nodes and get data out. Is there something equivalent to the C or C++ API?

Or, how do you all get data from XML/DXL files using C or C++?

See my answer on your previous question.

I wonder what you are trying to accomplish. Maybe we can help you when you explain to us what your goal is.

Thanks for all’s help and answers.

I’d like to parse through all Notes items and make it available to store in say a SQL database. I’d like

  1. Strip out and get only unformatted text from any given RTF item.

  2. Render the $file objects into actual files. There maybe some compression issues which I have yet to explorer. Does any one know if the file attachments in DXL is compressed in Notes? Or, is it simply to decode the $file stream?

  3. Decide on which NotesDOMParser equivalent of C/C++ XML parser utility is best suited to do 1 & 2. I’d prefer to use free open source utility if possible.

TIA

For Windows you can use the Microsoft MSXML objects, for example MSXML2::IXMLDOMNodePtr

Search Google for “C++ XML”. You will find lots of info, including this: IBM Developer.
