(Classic ASP) Compress XML Tree

Demonstrates how to compress and restore the entire subtree rooted at an XML node.

The input XML, available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/compress2.xml, is this:

<root>
    <lazydog>
        <fox>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</fox>
    </lazydog>
    <fox>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</fox>
    <child>
        <grandchild>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</grandchild>
    </child>
    <child>
        <grandchild>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</grandchild>
    </child>
</root>

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Xml")

' The sample input XML is available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/compress2.xml
success = xml.LoadXmlFile("compress2.xml")
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( xml.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' Zip compress the root node's entire subtree:
success = xml.ZipTree()

' Examine the new XML document:
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( xml.GetXml()) & "</pre>"

' This is the XML w/ the compressed subtree in Base64 encoded format:

' <root><![CDATA[4+WyKcrPL7Hj5VIAApucxKrKlPx0KBcslJZfYReSkapQWJqZnK2QVJRfnqcAFFPIKs0tKFbIL0st
' UigBSoN0KgC12uiDNECN00c1jyKzkjMyc1KQHZZelJiXAhElyUwkfTBnovDoYZGNPjTUAQ==

' Now uncompress and show that the original subtree was restored:
success = xml.UnzipTree()
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( xml.GetXml()) & "</pre>"
