RapidXML只有头文件，不需要编译和配置。

使用rapidXML读取XML文件中的元素的属性和值

此次要读取的XML文件：ReadExample.xml

  
  
    
     
        C++ Primer
        Stanley B. Lippman
        59.00
     
    
        Head First Java
        Kathy Sierra
        35.99
     

用于读取此XML文件的C++代码

#include "rapidxml.hpp"
#include 
#include 

int main() {
    rapidxml::xml_document<> doc;

    // 打开XML文件
    std::ifstream file("ReadExample.xml");
    if (!file) {
        std::cerr << "Failed to open the XML file." << std::endl;
        return 1;
    }

    // 读取XML文件内容到内存
    std::string xml_contents((std::istreambuf_iterator(file)), std::istreambuf_iterator());
    file.close();

    // 解析XML文档
    doc.parse(&xml_contents[0]);

    // 获取根元素
    rapidxml::xml_node<>* root = doc.first_node("root");

    // 遍历子元素book
    for (rapidxml::xml_node<>* book = root->first_node("book"); book; book = book->next_sibling("book")) {
        // 获取书名
        rapidxml::xml_node<>* name = book->first_node("name");
        if (name) {
            std::cout << "Book Name: " << name->value() << std::endl;
        }

        // 获取作者
        rapidxml::xml_node<>* author = book->first_node("author");
        if (author) {
            std::cout << "Author: " << author->value() << std::endl;
        }

        // 获取价格
        rapidxml::xml_node<>* price = book->first_node("price");
        if (price) {
            std::cout << "Price: " << price->value() << std::endl;
        }

        std::cout << std::endl;
    }

    // 获取Connector元素的属性
    rapidxml::xml_node<>* connector = root->first_node("Connector");
    if (connector) {
        std::cout << "Connector Attributes:" << std::endl;
        for (rapidxml::xml_attribute<>* attr = connector->first_attribute(); attr; attr = attr->next_attribute()) {
            std::cout << "Attribute Name: " << attr->name() << ", Value: " << attr->value() << std::endl;
        }
    }

    return 0;
}

运行结果

使用rapidXML创建XML文件

用于创建XML文件的C++代码

#include "rapidxml.hpp"
#include "rapidxml_print.hpp" // 用于格式化输出XML
#include 
#include 

int main() {
    rapidxml::xml_document<> doc;

    // 创建根元素
    rapidxml::xml_node<>* root = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "root");
    doc.append_node(root);

    // 创建一个元素book
    rapidxml::xml_node<>* book = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "book");
    root->append_node(book);

    // 创建book元素的子元素
    rapidxml::xml_node<>* name = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "name", "C++ Primer");
    book->append_node(name);

    rapidxml::xml_node<>* author = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "author", "Stanley B. Lippman");
    book->append_node(author);

    rapidxml::xml_node<>* price = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "price", "59.00");
    book->append_node(price);

    // 创建第二个book元素
    book = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "book");
    root->append_node(book);

    name = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "name", "Head First Java");
    book->append_node(name);

    author = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "author", "Kathy Sierra");
    book->append_node(author);

    price = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "price", "35.99");
    book->append_node(price);

    // 输出XML到文件
    std::ofstream file("created.xml");
    file << doc;
    file.close();

    return 0;
}

 如果上面的代码无法运行

如果你也遇到了如下这样的错误

那么可以按照下面这两篇文章来创建一个rapidxml_ext.hpp文件

c++ - RapidXML:无法打印 - 编译时错误 - IT工具网 (coder.work)

c++ - RapidXML: Unable to print - Compile-time Error - Stack Overflow 

rapidxml_ext.hpp文件的代码如下 

//rapidxml_ext.hpp
#pragma once

#include "rapidxml.hpp"

// Adding declarations to make it compatible with gcc 4.7 and greater
// See https://stackoverflow.com/a/55408678
namespace rapidxml {
    namespace internal {
        template 
        inline OutIt print_children(OutIt out, const xml_node* node, int flags, int indent);

        template 
        inline OutIt print_attributes(OutIt out, const xml_node* node, int flags);

        template 
        inline OutIt print_data_node(OutIt out, const xml_node* node, int flags, int indent);

        template 
        inline OutIt print_cdata_node(OutIt out, const xml_node* node, int flags, int indent);

        template 
        inline OutIt print_element_node(OutIt out, const xml_node* node, int flags, int indent);

        template 
        inline OutIt print_declaration_node(OutIt out, const xml_node* node, int flags, int indent);

        template 
        inline OutIt print_comment_node(OutIt out, const xml_node* node, int flags, int indent);

        template 
        inline OutIt print_doctype_node(OutIt out, const xml_node* node, int flags, int indent);

        template 
        inline OutIt print_pi_node(OutIt out, const xml_node* node, int flags, int indent);
    }
}

#include "rapidxml_print.hpp"

 然后在原来的代码的基础上，引入头文件rapidxml_ext.hpp

注意头文件的顺序，rapidxml_ext.hpp的引入必须先于rapidxml_print.hpp

改正的代码后如下

#include "rapidxml.hpp"
#include "rapidxml_ext.hpp"  //只多了这一行
#include "rapidxml_print.hpp" // 用于格式化输出XML
#include 
#include 

int main() {
    rapidxml::xml_document<> doc;

    // 创建根元素
    rapidxml::xml_node<>* root = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "root");
    doc.append_node(root);

    // 创建一个元素book
    rapidxml::xml_node<>* book = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "book");
    root->append_node(book);

    // 创建book元素的子元素
    rapidxml::xml_node<>* name = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "name", "C++ Primer");
    book->append_node(name);

    rapidxml::xml_node<>* author = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "author", "Stanley B. Lippman");
    book->append_node(author);

    rapidxml::xml_node<>* price = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "price", "59.00");
    book->append_node(price);

    // 创建第二个book元素
    book = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "book");
    root->append_node(book);

    name = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "name", "Head First Java");
    book->append_node(name);

    author = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "author", "Kathy Sierra");
    book->append_node(author);

    price = doc.allocate_node(rapidxml::node_element, "price", "35.99");
    book->append_node(price);

    // 输出XML到文件
    std::ofstream file("created.xml");
    file << doc;
    file.close();

    return 0;
}

运行结果
