# xmlfs
xmlfs is an userspace application that lets you represent an XML file as a directory structure for easy access. In this early version, xmlfs only supports read operations. This may be extended in the future.

* [source repository](http://github.com/halhen/xmlfs)

Distribution specific links:

* [archlinux AUR package](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25905)

## Representation
* Nodes are represented as directories.
* Node attributes are represented as files, named as the attribute and contiaining the value.
* Node content is available in the `#text` file.

An example XML file and the corresponding directory structure is shown below.

Example operations:

As you can see in the example, node names are prefix with an index. This is nescessary as an XML node can have many children with the same name.

## Installation
xmlfs depends on [FUSE 2.6+](http://fuse.sourceforge.net/) and [libxml2](http://www.xmlsoft.org/). Please install this before building xmlfs.

Edit `config.mk` to match your setup. Next run

$ make

Finally, as root:

# make install

To uninstall, as root:

# make uninstall

## Usage
    $ mkdir mount_dir/
    $ xmlfs -o xmlfile=file.xml mount_dir/

Unmount with
    $ fusermount -u mount_dir

Fore more information, please run `xmlfs --help` or have a look at the [FUSE wiki](http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/fuse/index.php?title=Main_Page).

## Limitations
In this early version, xmlfs is a read-only filesystem. Also, it only reads basic XML and usage with non-ASCII characters has not been tested.

### Known errors:

* valgrind reports false free()'s from using xml_rootparent
