Needed a tool to tidy some Xml in "Programmer's Notepad" and could not resist to created my own version of XmlTidy. :-)
using System;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.XPath;
namespace XmlTidy
{
public class Program
{
private enum ExitCodes
{
Success = 0,
Failure = 1
}
private static int Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Length == 0)
{
return ShowUsage();
}
var inputFile = args[0];
var outputFile = args.Length == 1 ? args[0] : args[1];
return Tidy(inputFile, outputFile);
}
private static int ShowUsage()
{
Console.WriteLine("Usage: XmlTidy <inputfile> <outputfile>");
Console.WriteLine("if <outputfile> is not specified, the <inputfile> is overwritten.");
return (int)ExitCodes.Success;
}
private static int Tidy(string inputFile, string outputFile)
{
var result = (int)ExitCodes.Success;
try
{
var document = new XPathDocument(inputFile);
var settings = new XmlWriterSettings { IndentChars = "\t", Indent = true };
var writer = XmlWriter.Create(outputFile, settings);
document.CreateNavigator().WriteSubtree(writer);
writer.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.Error.WriteLine(ex.Message);
result = (int)ExitCodes.Failure;
}
return result;
}
}
}
