Say I have this XML format:

<Widget type="SomeWidget" name="foo">
   <Event name="onmouseover">
      dostuff();
   </Event>
</Widget>

How do I read the attributes using Boost.PropertyTree?

Answer

If xml has such content:

<mode fullscreen="true">mode xxx</mode>

Use boost::property code:

get<string>("mode.<xmlattr>.fullscreen")

Oh yeah, it's ugly!
