How are attributes parsed in Boost.PropertyTree?

Question

Say I have this XML format:

   
      dostuff();
   
         


        

Answer 1

If your problem is to get attributes:

The attributes of an XML element are stored in the subkey . There is one child node per attribute in the attribute node. Existence of the node is not guaranteed or necessary when there are no attributes.

From the doc http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_44_0/doc/html/boost_propertytree/parsers.html#boost_propertytree.parsers.xml_parser

So just get them from the key in the path.
