Detailed Description

A XMLHandle is a class that wraps a node pointer with null checks; this is an incredibly useful thing.

Note that XMLHandle is not part of the TinyXML-2 DOM structure. It is a separate utility class.

Take an example:

<Document>
        <Element attributeA = "valueA">
                <Child attributeB = "value1" />
                <Child attributeB = "value2" />
        </Element>
</Document>

Assuming you want the value of "attributeB" in the 2nd "Child" element, it's very easy to write a lot of code that looks like:

XMLElement* root = document.FirstChildElement( "Document" );
if ( root )
{
        XMLElement* element = root->FirstChildElement( "Element" );
        if ( element )
        {
                XMLElement* child = element->FirstChildElement( "Child" );
                if ( child )
                {
                        XMLElement* child2 = child->NextSiblingElement( "Child" );
                        if ( child2 )
                        {
                                // Finally do something useful.

And that doesn't even cover "else" cases. XMLHandle addresses the verbosity of such code. A XMLHandle checks for null pointers so it is perfectly safe and correct to use:

XMLHandle docHandle( &document );
XMLElement* child2 = docHandle.FirstChildElement( "Document" ).FirstChildElement( "Element" ).FirstChildElement().NextSiblingElement();
if ( child2 )
{
        // do something useful

Which is MUCH more concise and useful.

It is also safe to copy handles - internally they are nothing more than node pointers.

XMLHandle handleCopy = handle;

See also XMLConstHandle, which is the same as XMLHandle, but operates on const objects.
