Description

Description

Use the following program to read/write to/from a ptree an XML file containing XML escape sequences in tag's attribute string. 

#include <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp>
#include <boost/property_tree/xml_parser.hpp>

using boost::property_tree::ptree;

int main()
{
  ptree pt;
  read_xml("xml-esc-in.xml", pt);
  write_xml("xml-esc-out.xml", pt);

  return 0;
}
  • With the following XML input file

xml-esc-in.xml 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html>
 <head>
  <title>Title</title>
   <link title="&lt;&gt;&quot;&apos;&amp;" href="" />
 </head>
 <body>
  <p>
   &lt;&gt;&quot;&apos;&amp;
  </p>
 </body>
</html>
  • It will give you the following XML output file

xml-esc-out.xml 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Title</title>
    <link title="<>"'&" href=""/>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>
      &lt;&gt;&quot;&apos;&amp;
    </p>
  </body>
</html>
  • Escape sequences in the [title] attribute of the <link> tag have been translated into their ascii equivalent resulting in an invalid XML.
