I have small problem with Xmlize and containers. The XML will look like this:

<cats>
    <item>...</item>
    <item>...</item>
    ...
</cats>


That is not very XMLish. I want:
<cats>
    <cat>...</cat>
    <cat>...</cat>
    ...
</cats>


Could we add this to XmlIO class:
class XmlIO {
...

public:
...
	template <class T> XmlIO operator()(const char *tag, const char *itemtag, T& var);


and after:
template <class T>
void Xmlize(XmlIO xml, const char* itemtag, T& var)
{
	var.Xmlize(xml);
}

...

template <class T> XmlIO XmlIO::operator()(const char *tag, const char *itemtag, T& var) {
	XmlIO n(*this, tag);
	Xmlize(n, itemtag, var);
	return *this;
}

...

template<class T>
void Xmlize(XmlIO xml, const char* itemtag, Vector<T>& data)
{
	XmlizeContainer(xml, itemtag, data);
}

...

template<class T>
void Xmlize(XmlIO xml, const char* itemtag, Array<T>& data)
{
	XmlizeContainer(xml, itemtag, data);
}


This change is only meant for Array and Vector marshaling, but could be extended to rest of the containers.

So now I can do:

xml("cats", cats);


for the original XML format, or:

xml("cats", "cat", cats);

for the format I want.

What about if your Array cats have items with array type?

I have no problem adding this. Could you post a complete patch please?

Not a problem. My patch does not affect your serialization, since you need to write extra code to change the sub item name. But if you do, you will end up with:

<cats>
  <cat>
    ...
    <whiskers>
      <whisker>...
    </whiskers>
  </cat>
  <cat>
  ...
</cats>

Can you do analog decision for ArrayMap (maybe also VectorMap ...)?

Sure, I'll look over it after I can check out a new nightly build.

I tried to do it myself, but there is some error. I did not understand, so far, due to lack of time and put off for later.

Until replaced by a direct search for Array. This is certainly the wrong way.

This is one crazy necro, but I'm still using "wrong" labels for vector sub-items.

What could we do to solve this issue?

Mirek

Well, here is the thing. I posted it way back. It worked for me. You said you applied it. sergeynikitin found some erros or other problems.

Time passed and I was forced to update U++ and remove the use of this code from the project. The code is lost. And there is something similar now in U++, but don't know exactly how to use it.

What does this do exactly:
template <class T> XmlIO List(const char *tag, const char *itemtag, T& var);


Best I can do is link to my old post: https:// www.ultimatepp.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=6032&go to=32509&#msg_32509

Yes, List solves this for arrays. If I remember well, there was some overloading issue that prevented plain operator() to be used here.

Now I guess you will request something similar for maps, correct? Smile

Somewhere between "soon" and another 7 years Laughing.

Thank you! I'll give List a try. I've spent the last 3 days updating our XML configuration system and found that the resulting XMLs had this problem. It would be great if I can finally fix this.
