pugixml - check if node exists or not

I get a child node this way:

pugi::xml_node child = root.child("aaa")

I would like to check if that child node exists. Should I just call child.empty() ?

Solution

  • The xml_node class has a logical bool operator overload that allows you to check that it exists by simply calling

    if (child) { ... }

    and similarly an operator! for checking if it doesn't exist with

    if (!child) { ... }
