Compress XML Tree

See more XML Examples

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>

Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    let xml = CkoXml()!

    // The sample input XML is available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/compress2.xml
    success = xml.loadFile(path: "compress2.xml")
    if success != true {
        print("\(xml.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

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

    // Examine the new XML document:
    print("\(xml.getXml()!)")

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

    // <root><![CDATA[4+WyKcrPL7Hj5VIAApucxKrKlPx0KBcslJZfYReSkapQWJqZnK2QVJRfnqcAFFPIKs0tKFbIL0st
    // UigBSoN0KgC12uiDNECN00c1jyKzkjMyc1KQHZZelJiXAhElyUwkfTBnovDoYZGNPjTUAQ==
    // ]]></root>

    // Now uncompress and show that the original subtree was restored:
    success = xml.unzipTree()
    print("\(xml.getXml()!)")
