Hi Angela,
You can traverse the CFTree as you've found with the various CFTree
functions. If you're looking at a specific node in the CFXMLTree (call
it curCFTreeNode), you can do something like this:
CFXMLNodeRef curXMLNode;
CFDictionaryRef curXMLDict;
CFXMLElementInfo *curXMLElement;
curXMLNode = CFXMLTreeGetNode(curCFTreeNode);
if(CFXMLNodeGetTypeCode(curXMLNode) == kCFXMLNodeTypeElement) {
curXMLElement = (CFXMLElementInfo *)CFXMLNodeGetInfoPtr(curXMLNode);
curXMLDict = (*curXMLElement).attributes;
}
and now you'll have a CFDictionary containing the attributes of the node.
The headers for CFXMLNode.h describe what the dataString and infoPtr
formats are for the various node types.
I hope this helps out.
