## Description

## Details

### Macro BASE_BUFFER_SIZE

    #define BASE_BUFFER_SIZE;

default buffer size 4000.

### Macro LIBXML2_NEW_BUFFER

    #define LIBXML2_NEW_BUFFER;

Macro used to express that the API use the new buffers for xmlParserInputBuffer and xmlOutputBuffer. The change was introduced in 2.9.0.

### Macro XML_GET_CONTENT

    #define XML_GET_CONTENT;

Macro to extract the content pointer of a node.

### Macro XML_GET_LINE

    #define XML_GET_LINE;

Macro to extract the line number of an element node.

### Macro XML_LOCAL_NAMESPACE

    #define XML_LOCAL_NAMESPACE;

A namespace declaration node.

### Macro XML_XML_ID

    #define XML_XML_ID;

This is the name for the special xml:id attribute

### Macro XML_XML_NAMESPACE

    #define XML_XML_NAMESPACE;

This is the namespace for the special xml: prefix predefined in the XML Namespace specification.

### Macro xmlChildrenNode

    #define xmlChildrenNode;

Macro for compatibility naming layer with libxml1. Maps to "children."

### Macro xmlRootNode

    #define xmlRootNode;

Macro for compatibility naming layer with libxml1. Maps to "children".

    						 xmlNodePtr node,
    						 const xmlChar * nsName,
    						 const xmlChar * nsPrefix)

A function called to acquire namespaces (xmlNs) from the wrapper.

`ctxt`: | a DOM wrapper context
`node`: | the context node (element or attribute)
`nsName`: | the requested namespace name
`nsPrefix`: | the requested namespace prefix
`Returns`: | an xmlNsPtr or NULL in case of an error.

### xmlAddChild ()

    xmlNodePtr	xmlAddChild		(xmlNodePtr parent,
    					 xmlNodePtr cur)

Unlink @cur and append it to the children of @parent. If @cur is a text node, it may be merged with an adjacent text node and freed. In this case the text node containing the merged content is returned. If @cur is an attribute node, it is appended to the attributes of @parent. If the attribute list contains an attribute with a name matching @elem, the old attribute is destroyed. General notes: Move operations like xmlAddChild can cause element or attribute nodes to reference namespaces that aren't declared in one of their ancestors. This can lead to use-after-free errors if the elements containing the declarations are freed later, especially when moving nodes from one document to another. You should consider calling xmlReconciliateNs after a move operation to normalize namespaces. Another option is to call xmlDOMWrapAdoptNode with the target parent before moving a node. For the most part, move operations don't check whether the resulting tree structure is valid. Users must make sure that parent nodes only receive children of valid types. Inserted child nodes must never be an ancestor of the parent node to avoid cycles in the tree structure. In general, only document, document fragments, elements and attributes should be used as parent nodes. When moving a node between documents and a memory allocation fails, the node's content will be corrupted and it will be unlinked. In this case, the node must be freed manually. Moving DTDs between documents isn't supported.

`parent`: | the parent node
`cur`: | the child node
`Returns`: | @elem or a sibling if @elem was merged. Returns NULL if arguments are invalid or a memory allocation failed.

If the attribute list contains an attribute with a name matching @cur, the old attribute is destroyed. See the notes in xmlAddChild.

### xmlNodeSetContent ()

    int	xmlNodeSetContent		(xmlNodePtr cur,
    					 const xmlChar * content)

Replace the text content of a node. Sets the raw text content of text, CDATA, comment or PI nodes. For element and attribute nodes, removes all children and replaces them by parsing @content which is expected to be a valid XML attribute value possibly containing character and entity references. Syntax errors and references to undeclared entities are ignored silently. Unfortunately, there isn't an API to pass raw content directly. An inefficient work-around is to escape the content with xmlEncodeSpecialChars before passing it. A better trick is clearing the old content with xmlNodeSetContent(node, NULL) first and then calling xmlNodeAddContent(node, content). Unlike this function, xmlNodeAddContent accepts raw text.
