Add a node to a tree.
void mxmlAdd (
mxml_node_t *parent,
int where,
mxml_node_t *child,
mxml_node_t *node
);
Adds the specified node to the parent. If the child argument is not NULL, puts the new node before or after the specified child depending on the value of the where argument. If the child argument is NULL, puts the new node at the beginning of the child list (MXML_ADD_BEFORE) or at the end of the child list (MXML_ADD_AFTER). The constant MXML_ADD_TO_PARENT can be used to specify a NULL child pointer.
Delete a node and all of its children.
void mxmlDelete (
mxml_node_t *node
);
If the specified node has a parent, this function first removes the node from its parent using the mxmlRemove() function.

Set an attribute.
void mxmlElementSetAttr (
mxml_node_t *node,
const char *name,
const char *value
);
If the named attribute already exists, the value of the attribute is replaced by the new string value. The string value is copied into the element node. This function does nothing if the node is not an element.
Set an attribute with a formatted value.
void mxmlElementSetAttrf (
mxml_node_t *node,
const char *name,
const char *format,
...
);
If the named attribute already exists, the value of the attribute is replaced by the new formatted string. The formatted string value is copied into the element node. This function does nothing if the node is not an element.

mxml_node_t *top,
const char *name,
const char *attr,
const char *value,
int descend
);
Element node or NULL
The search is constrained by the name, attribute name, and value; any NULL names or values are treated as wildcards, so different kinds of searches can be implemented by looking for all elements of a given name or all elements with a specific attribute. The descend argument determines whether the search descends into child nodes; normally you will use MXML_DESCEND_FIRST for the initial search and MXML_NO_DESCEND to find additional direct descendents of the node. The top node argument constrains the search to a particular node's children.
Find a node with the given path.
mxml_node_t *mxmlFindPath (
mxml_node_t *top,
const char *path
);

The "path" is a slash-separated list of element names. The name "*" is
considered a wildcard for one or more levels of elements. For example,
"foo/one/two", "bar/two/one", "*/one", and so forth.

children and the first child is a value node.

mxml_index_t *ind,
const char *element,
const char *value
);
