GhXMLParser

This project is a C# library for parsing Grasshopper files (.gh,.ghx) in XML format. It provides a set of classes and helper methods to extract data from Grasshopper files.

Features

• Convert Grasshopper files to XML documents.
• Extract various information from the XML documents such as GUID, Name, Description, InstanceGuid, Nickname, Optional, Bounds, Pivot, Selected, Inputs, and Outputs.
• Handle Grasshopper components and their dependencies.
• Handle Grasshopper component inputs and outputs.

Classes

• Helper: Provides helper methods for parsing Grasshopper files.
• GhComponent: Represents a Grasshopper component with various properties and methods to extract data.
• GhHeader: TODO
• GhComponentDependency: TODO
• GhComponentInput: TODO
• GhComponentOutput: TODO

Usage

To use this library, you need to have a Grasshopper file. You can convert this file to an XML document using the GrasshopperToXml method from the Helper class

Example

string path = "path to gh or ghx file";
//Convert the grasshopper file to xml
var grasshopperXmlDoc = Helper.GrasshopperToXml(path);

//Get the header of the grasshopper file
var header = new GhHeader(grasshopperXmlDoc);

//Get all the components in the grasshopper file
var xmlComponents = Helper.GetAllComponentsAsXml(grasshopperXmlDoc);
var allComponents = xmlComponents.Select(component => new GhComponent(component)).ToList();
