Parsing the file requires only the name of the file and a single
|
||
function call, plus error checking. Full code: <a href="apc.html" title="C. Code for Keyword Example">Appendix C, <i>Code for Keyword Example</i></a></p><p>

One common example of an error at this point is improper
|
||
handling of encoding. The <span class="acronym">XML</span> standard requires
|
||
documents stored with an encoding other than UTF-8 or UTF-16 to
|
||
contain an explicit declaration of their encoding. If the
|
||
declaration is there, <span class="application">libxml</span> will
|
||
automatically perform the necessary conversion to UTF-8 for
|
||
you. More information on <span class="acronym">XML's</span> encoding
|
||
requirements is contained in the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#charencoding" target="_top">standard</a>.</p></td></tr></table></div><p>
