Usage .General

Summary

Examples of how to use the native API of Sablotron.

Syntax

EXAMPLE 1: a simple transformation

SablotSituation S;
SablotHandle proc;

SablotCreateSituation(&S);
SablotCreateProcessorForSituation(S, &proc);

SablotRunProcessorGen(S, proc, "my_sheet.xsl", "my_data.xml", "arg:/out");

char * result;
SablotGetResultArg(proc, "arg:/out", &result);

...

SablotFree(result);
SablotDestroyProcessor(proc);
SablotDestroySituation(S);

EXAMPLE 2: a transformation with reusable parsed trees

SablotSituation S;
SablotHandle proc;
SDOM_Document xsl, xml;

SablotCreateSituation(&S);
SablotParseStylesheetBuffer(S, my_xsl_ptr, &xsl);
SablotParseBuffer(S, my_xml_ptr, &xml);

SablotCreateProcessorForSituation(S, &proc);
SablotAddArgTree(S, proc, "sheet", xsl);
SablotAddArgTree(S, proc, "data", xml);

SablotRunProcessorGen(S, proc, "arg:/sheet", "arg:/data", "arg:/out");

char * result;
SablotGetResultArg(proc, "arg:/out", &result);

...

SablotFree(result);
SablotDestroyDocument(xsl);
SablotDestroyDocument(xml);
SablotDestroyProcessor(proc);
SablotDestroySituation(S);

Description

The first example shows the simplest way to run a transformation with two files. The second example parses trees explicitly and makes them available for further processing. In this example, the source XML document and the XSLT stylesheet are already loaded in strings (my_xsl_ptr, my_xml_ptr). To work with URIs, use SablotParseStylesheet and SablotParse instead of SablotParseStylesheetBuffer and SablotParseBuffer.
