Comentários

A XmlDocument classe é uma representação na memória de um documento XML. Ela implementa o XML de Modelo de Objeto de Documento (DOM) Core Nível 1 e DOM de Core Nível 2 de W3C.

DOM significa modelo de objeto de documento. Para ler mais sobre ele, consulte O DOM (Modelo de Objeto de Documento XML).

Você pode carregar XML no DOM usando a XmlDocument classe e, em seguida, ler, modificar e remover XML programaticamente no documento.

Se você quiser abrir a XmlDocument classe e ver como ela é implementada, consulte a Fonte de Referência.

Carregar XML no modelo de objeto do documento

Comece com um documento XML como este que tem alguns livros em uma coleção. Ele contém as coisas básicas que você encontraria em qualquer documento XML, incluindo um namespace, elementos que representam dados e atributos que descrevem os dados.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<books xmlns="http://www.contoso.com/books">
  <book genre="novel" ISBN="1-861001-57-8" publicationdate="1823-01-28">
    <title>Pride And Prejudice</title>
    <price>24.95</price>
  </book>
  <book genre="novel" ISBN="1-861002-30-1" publicationdate="1985-01-01">
    <title>The Handmaid's Tale</title>
    <price>29.95</price>
  </book>
  <book genre="novel" ISBN="1-861001-45-3" publicationdate="1811-01-01">
    <title>Sense and Sensibility</title>
    <price>19.95</price>
  </book>
</books>

Em seguida, carregue esses dados no DOM para que você possa trabalhar com ele na memória. A maneira mais popular de fazer isso é se referir a um arquivo em seu computador local ou em uma rede.

Este exemplo carrega XML de um arquivo. Se o arquivo não existir, ele apenas gerará algum XML e carregará isso.

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.PreserveWhitespace = true;
try { doc.Load("booksData.xml"); }
catch (System.IO.FileNotFoundException)
{
    doc.LoadXml("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?> \n" +
    "<books xmlns=\"http://www.contoso.com/books\"> \n" +
    "  <book genre=\"novel\" ISBN=\"1-861001-57-8\" publicationdate=\"1823-01-28\"> \n" +
    "    <title>Pride And Prejudice</title> \n" +
    "    <price>24.95</price> \n" +
    "  </book> \n" +
    "  <book genre=\"novel\" ISBN=\"1-861002-30-1\" publicationdate=\"1985-01-01\"> \n" +
    "    <title>The Handmaid's Tale</title> \n" +
    "    <price>29.95</price> \n" +
    "  </book> \n" +
    "</books>");
}

Dim doc As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument
doc.PreserveWhitespace = True
Try
    doc.Load("booksData.xml")
Catch ex As System.IO.FileNotFoundException
    ' If no file is found, generate some XML.
    doc.LoadXml("<?xml version=""1.0""?> " & ControlChars.NewLine & _
        "<books xmlns=""http://www.contoso.com/books""> " & ControlChars.NewLine & _
        "  <book genre=""novel"" ISBN=""1-861001-57-8"" publicationdate=""1823-01-28""> " & ControlChars.NewLine & _
        "    <title>Pride And Prejudice</title> " & ControlChars.NewLine & _
        "    <price>24.95</price> " & ControlChars.NewLine & _
        "  </book> " & ControlChars.NewLine & _
        "  <book genre=""novel"" ISBN=""1-861002-30-1"" publicationdate=""1985-01-01""> " & ControlChars.NewLine & _
        "    <title>The Handmaid's Tale</title> " & ControlChars.NewLine & _
        "    <price>29.95</price> " & ControlChars.NewLine & _
        "  </book> " & ControlChars.NewLine & _
        "</books>")
End Try

Validá-lo em relação a um esquema

Comece com um esquema XML como este. Esse esquema define os tipos de dados no XML e quais atributos são necessários.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
  attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
  elementFormDefault="qualified"
  targetNamespace="http://www.contoso.com/books">
  <xs:element name="books">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="book">
          <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
              <xs:element name="title" type="xs:string" />
              <xs:element name="price" type="xs:decimal" />
            </xs:sequence>
            <xs:attribute name="genre" type="xs:string" use="required" />
            <xs:attribute name="ISBN" type="xs:string" use="required" />
            <xs:attribute name="publicationdate" type="xs:date" use="required" />
          </xs:complexType>
        </xs:element>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

Crie um XmlReader objeto usando o esquema e carregue esse objeto no DOM. Crie um manipulador de eventos que é executado quando o código tenta modificar o arquivo XML de maneiras que violam as regras do esquema.

Esses blocos de código mostram métodos auxiliares que fazem tudo isso.

Navegar na árvore de documentos

Você pode usar propriedades para navegar em torno de um documento XML. Mas antes de usar qualquer um deles, vamos examinar rapidamente alguns termos. Seu documento é composto de nós. Cada nó tem um único nó pai diretamente acima dele. O único nó que não tem um nó pai é a raiz do documento, pois é o nó de nível superior. A maioria dos nós pode ter nós filho, que são nós imediatamente abaixo dos nós principais. Nódulos que estão no mesmo nível são irmãos.

Os exemplos a seguir mostram como obter o nó raiz, saltar para o primeiro nó filho do nó raiz, acessar qualquer um de seus nós filhos, voltar ao nó pai e navegar pelos nós irmãos.

Comece com o nó raiz

Este exemplo obtém o nó raiz e, em seguida, usa esse nó para enviar o conteúdo do documento para o console.

                "<title>Pride And Prejudice</title>" +
                "</book>");

    Console.WriteLine(doc.DocumentElement.OuterXml);
 }

        'Display the document element.
        Console.WriteLine(doc.DocumentElement.OuterXml)

Obter nós filhos

Esse exemplo salta para o primeiro nó filho do nó raiz e, em seguida, itera pelos nós filhos desse nó, se houver algum.

using System;

Retorna para o nó pai

Use a propriedade ParentNode.

Refere-se ao último nó filho

Este exemplo grava o preço de um livro no console. O nó de preço é o último filho de um nó de livro.

                    "</book>");

        XmlNode root = doc.FirstChild;

        Console.WriteLine("Display the price element...")
        Console.WriteLine(root.LastChild.OuterXml)

Navegar para trás entre irmãos

Este exemplo retrocede de livro a livro.

      XmlNode prevNode = lastNode.PreviousSibling;
      Console.WriteLine("\r\nPrevious book...");
      Console.WriteLine(prevNode.OuterXml);
  }
}

Imports System.Xml

Public Class Sample5
    Public Shared Sub Main()
        Dim doc As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument()
        doc.Load("books.xml")

        Dim lastNode As XmlNode = doc.DocumentElement.LastChild
        Console.WriteLine("Last book...")
        Console.WriteLine(lastNode.OuterXml)

        Dim prevNode As XmlNode = lastNode.PreviousSibling
        Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Lf + "Previous book...")
        Console.WriteLine(prevNode.OuterXml)
    End Sub
End Class

Localizar nós

A maneira mais popular de encontrar um ou mais nós de dados é usar uma cadeia de caracteres de consulta XPath, mas também há métodos que não exigem um.

Obter um único nó

Este exemplo localiza um livro usando o número ISBN.

public XmlNode GetBook(string uniqueAttribute, XmlDocument doc)
{
    XmlNamespaceManager nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(doc.NameTable);
    nsmgr.AddNamespace("bk", "http://www.contoso.com/books");
    string xPathString = "//bk:books/bk:book[@ISBN='" + uniqueAttribute + "']";
    XmlNode xmlNode = doc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode(xPathString, nsmgr);
   return xmlNode;
}

Public Function GetBook(ByVal uniqueAttribute As String, ByVal doc As XmlDocument) As XmlNode
    Dim nsmgr As XmlNamespaceManager = New XmlNamespaceManager(doc.NameTable)
    nsmgr.AddNamespace("bk", "http://www.contoso.com/books")
    Dim xPathString As String = ("//bk:books/bk:book[@ISBN='" _
                & (uniqueAttribute & "']"))
    Dim xmlNode As XmlNode = doc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode(xPathString, nsmgr)
    Return xmlNode
End Function

A cadeia de caracteres usada neste exemplo é uma consulta Xpath. Você pode encontrar mais exemplos deles em exemplos XPath.

Você também pode usar o GetElementById para recuperar nós. Para usar essa abordagem, você precisará definir IDs nas declarações de definição de tipo de documento do arquivo XML.

Depois de obter um nó, você obtém o valor de atributos ou nós filhos. Este exemplo faz isso com um nó de livro.

public void GetBookInformation(ref string title, ref string ISBN, ref string publicationDate,
    ref string price, ref string genre, XmlNode book)
{
    XmlElement bookElement = (XmlElement)book;

    // Get the attributes of a book.
    XmlAttribute attr = bookElement.GetAttributeNode("ISBN");
    ISBN = attr.InnerXml;

    attr = bookElement.GetAttributeNode("genre");
    genre = attr.InnerXml;

    attr = bookElement.GetAttributeNode("publicationdate");
    publicationDate = attr.InnerXml;

    // Get the values of child elements of a book.
    title = bookElement["title"].InnerText;
    price = bookElement["price"].InnerText;
}

Public Sub GetBookInformation(ByRef title As String, ByRef ISBN As String, ByRef publicationDate As String, ByRef price As String, ByRef genre As String, ByVal book As XmlNode)
    Dim bookElement As XmlElement = CType(book, XmlElement)
    ' Get the attributes of a book.
    Dim attr As XmlAttribute = bookElement.GetAttributeNode("ISBN")
    ISBN = attr.InnerXml
    attr = bookElement.GetAttributeNode("genre")
    genre = attr.InnerXml
    attr = bookElement.GetAttributeNode("publicationdate")
    publicationDate = attr.InnerXml
    ' Get the values of child elements of a book.
    title = bookElement("title").InnerText
    price = bookElement("price").InnerText
End Sub

Obter uma coleção de nós

Este exemplo seleciona todos os livros em que o sobrenome do autor é Austen e, em seguida, altera o preço desses livros.

using System;
using System.Xml;

public class Sample6
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.Load("booksort.xml");

        XmlNodeList nodeList;
        XmlNode root = doc.DocumentElement;

        nodeList = root.SelectNodes("descendant::book[author/last-name='Austen']");

        //Change the price on the books.
        foreach (XmlNode book in nodeList)
        {
            book.LastChild.InnerText = "15.95";
        }

        Console.WriteLine("Display the modified XML document....");
        doc.Save(Console.Out);
    }
}

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Xml

public class Sample

  public shared sub Main()

    'Create the XmlDocument.
    Dim doc as XmlDocument = new XmlDocument()
    doc.Load("booksort.xml")

    Dim book as XmlNode
    Dim nodeList as XmlNodeList
    Dim root as XmlNode = doc.DocumentElement

    nodeList=root.SelectNodes("descendant::book[author/last-name='Austen']")

    'Change the price on the books.
    for each book in nodeList
      book.LastChild.InnerText="15.95"
    next

    Console.WriteLine("Display the modified XML document....")
    doc.Save(Console.Out)

  end sub
end class

Você também pode obter uma coleção de nós usando o nome do nó. Por exemplo, este exemplo obtém uma coleção de todos os títulos de livro.

using System;
using System.Xml;

public class Sample1
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        //Create the XmlDocument.
        XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.Load("books.xml");

        //Display all the book titles.
        XmlNodeList elemList = doc.GetElementsByTagName("title");
        for (int i = 0; i < elemList.Count; i++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(elemList[i].InnerXml);
        }
    }
}

Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Imports System.Xml

Public Class TagSample

    Public Shared Sub Main()
        'Create the XmlDocument.
        Dim doc As New XmlDocument()
        doc.Load("books.xml")

        'Display all the book titles.
        Dim elemList As XmlNodeList = doc.GetElementsByTagName("title")
        Dim i As Integer
        For i = 0 To elemList.Count - 1
            Console.WriteLine(elemList(i).InnerXml)
        Next i
    End Sub
End Class

Editar nós

Este exemplo edita um nó de livro e seus atributos.

public void editBook(string title, string ISBN, string publicationDate,
    string genre, string price, XmlNode book, bool validateNode, bool generateSchema)
{

    XmlElement bookElement = (XmlElement)book;

    // Get the attributes of a book.
    bookElement.SetAttribute("ISBN", ISBN);
    bookElement.SetAttribute("genre", genre);
    bookElement.SetAttribute("publicationdate", publicationDate);

    // Get the values of child elements of a book.
    bookElement["title"].InnerText = title;
    bookElement["price"].InnerText = price;

    if (validateNode)
    {
        validateXML(generateSchema, bookElement.OwnerDocument);
    }
}

Public Sub editBook(ByVal title As String, ByVal ISBN As String,
                    ByVal publicationDate As String, ByVal genre As String,
                    ByVal price As String, ByVal book As XmlNode, ByVal validateNode As Boolean,
                    ByVal generateSchema As Boolean)

    Dim bookElement As XmlElement = CType(book, XmlElement)

    ' Get the attributes of a book.
    bookElement.SetAttribute("ISBN", ISBN)
    bookElement.SetAttribute("genre", genre)
    bookElement.SetAttribute("publicationdate", publicationDate)

    ' Get the values of child elements of a book.
    bookElement("title").InnerText = title
    bookElement("price").InnerText = price
    If validateNode Then
        validateXML(generateSchema, bookElement.OwnerDocument)
    End If

End Sub

Adicionar nós

Para adicionar um nó, use o método CreateElement ou o método CreateNode.

Para adicionar um nó de dados, como um livro, use o método CreateElement.

Para qualquer outro tipo de nó, como um comentário, nó de espaço em branco ou nó de CDATA, use o método CreateNode.

Este exemplo cria um nó de livro, adiciona atributos a esse nó e, em seguida, adiciona esse nó ao documento.

public XmlElement AddNewBook(string genre, string ISBN, string misc,
    string title, string price, XmlDocument doc)
{
    // Create a new book element.
    XmlElement bookElement = doc.CreateElement("book", "http://www.contoso.com/books");

    // Create attributes for book and append them to the book element.
    XmlAttribute attribute = doc.CreateAttribute("genre");
    attribute.Value = genre;
    bookElement.Attributes.Append(attribute);

    attribute = doc.CreateAttribute("ISBN");
    attribute.Value = ISBN;
    bookElement.Attributes.Append(attribute);

    attribute = doc.CreateAttribute("publicationdate");
    attribute.Value = misc;
    bookElement.Attributes.Append(attribute);

    // Create and append a child element for the title of the book.
    XmlElement titleElement = doc.CreateElement("title");
    titleElement.InnerText = title;
    bookElement.AppendChild(titleElement);

    // Introduce a newline character so that XML is nicely formatted.
    bookElement.InnerXml =
        bookElement.InnerXml.Replace(titleElement.OuterXml,
        "\n    " + titleElement.OuterXml + " \n    ");

    // Create and append a child element for the price of the book.
    XmlElement priceElement = doc.CreateElement("price");
    priceElement.InnerText= price;
    bookElement.AppendChild(priceElement);

    // Introduce a newline character so that XML is nicely formatted.
    bookElement.InnerXml =
        bookElement.InnerXml.Replace(priceElement.OuterXml, priceElement.OuterXml + "   \n  ");

    return bookElement;
}

Public Function AddNewBook(ByVal genre As String, ByVal ISBN As String, ByVal misc As String, ByVal title As String, ByVal price As String, ByVal doc As XmlDocument) As XmlElement
    ' Create a new book element.
    Dim bookElement As XmlElement = doc.CreateElement("book", "http://www.contoso.com/books")

    ' Create attributes for book and append them to the book element.
    Dim attribute As XmlAttribute = doc.CreateAttribute("genre")
    attribute.Value = genre
    bookElement.Attributes.Append(attribute)

    attribute = doc.CreateAttribute("ISBN")
    attribute.Value = ISBN
    bookElement.Attributes.Append(attribute)

    attribute = doc.CreateAttribute("publicationdate")
    attribute.Value = misc
    bookElement.Attributes.Append(attribute)

    ' Create and append a child element for the title of the book.
    Dim titleElement As XmlElement = doc.CreateElement("title")
    titleElement.InnerText = title
    bookElement.AppendChild(titleElement)

    ' Introduce a newline character so that XML is nicely formatted.
    bookElement.InnerXml = bookElement.InnerXml.Replace(titleElement.OuterXml, _
                           "\n   " & titleElement.OuterXml & " " & ControlChars.NewLine + "    ")
    ' Create and append a child element for the price of the book.
    Dim priceElement As XmlElement = doc.CreateElement("price")
    priceElement.InnerText = price
    bookElement.AppendChild(priceElement)

    ' Introduce a newline character so that XML is nicely formatted.
    bookElement.InnerXml = bookElement.InnerXml.Replace(priceElement.OuterXml,
                                                        (priceElement.OuterXml & "   " & ControlChars.NewLine & "  "))
    Return bookElement
End Function

Remover nós

Para remover um nó, use o método RemoveChild.

Esse exemplo remove um livro do documento e qualquer espaço em branco que aparece logo antes do nó do livro.

public void deleteBook(XmlNode book)
{
    XmlNode prevNode = book.PreviousSibling;

    book.OwnerDocument.DocumentElement.RemoveChild(book);

    if (prevNode.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Whitespace ||
        prevNode.NodeType == XmlNodeType.SignificantWhitespace)
    {
        prevNode.OwnerDocument.DocumentElement.RemoveChild(prevNode);
    }
}

Public Sub deleteBook(ByVal book As XmlNode)

    Dim prevNode As XmlNode = book.PreviousSibling
    book.OwnerDocument.DocumentElement.RemoveChild(book)

    If ((prevNode.NodeType = XmlNodeType.Whitespace) _
                OrElse (prevNode.NodeType = XmlNodeType.SignificantWhitespace)) Then
        prevNode.OwnerDocument.DocumentElement.RemoveChild(prevNode)

    End If
End Sub

Nodos de posição

Você pode escolher onde deseja que um nó apareça no seu documento usando os métodos InsertBefore e InsertAfter.

Este exemplo mostra dois métodos auxiliares. Um deles move um nó para cima em uma lista. O outro move um nó para baixo.

Esses métodos podem ser usados em um aplicativo que permite aos usuários mover livros para cima e para baixo em uma lista de livros. Quando um usuário escolhe um livro e pressiona um botão para cima ou para baixo, seu código pode chamar métodos como esses para posicionar o nó do livro correspondente antes ou depois de outros nós do livro.
