  4. | ELT of string * attr list * node list
    (*

    Element

    *)

Representation of nodes.

Sourcetype document = {
  1. version : string;
    (*

    Version, usually 1.0

    *)
  2. encoding : string;
    (*

    Encoding (only current encoding supported now)

  3. standalone : bool;
    (*

    Standalone attribute

    *)
  4. element : node;

    *)
}

Representation of an XML document.

Sourceval validate_identifiers : node -> (node, node) result

validate_identifiers elt validates that identifiers in the document are unique and non-empty.

  • since 4.1.0
Sourceval deduplicate : node -> node

deduplicate elt traverses elt and removes all sub-elements with duplicating identifiers.

When several elements have the same identifier the first (in the DSF traversal order) element is preserved and all subsequent are removed.

If all children of a parent are duplicates of some other elements, then the father is still preserved with an empty list of children (unless it is itself a duplicate of some other element).

  • since 4.1.0
