我再重复一遍:Boost 中没有 xml 解析器/库。
您正在(ab)使用的是Boost Property Tree。正如您所发现的,它是一个“属性树”库,这意味着它可以做一些事情。包括写入和读取属性树。
如果您想要通用 XML 的东西,请考虑使用 XML 库(我应该在 C++ 中使用什么 XML 解析器?)。
无需再费周折:

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp>
#include <boost/property_tree/xml_parser.hpp>
int main() {
using boost::property_tree::ptree;
ptree pt;
{
ptree children; children.add("Foo", "bar");
pt.add_child("child", children);
pt.add_child("child", children).put("MARK","so we know it's the second");
}
// Output
boost::property_tree::xml_writer_settings<std::string> settings('\t', 1);
//boost::property_tree::write_xml(std::cout, pt, settings);
auto child1 = std::find_if(pt.begin(), pt.end(), [](auto& node) { return node.first == "child"; });
auto child2 = std::find_if(std::next(child1), pt.end(), [](auto& node) { return node.first == "child"; });
if (child2 != pt.end())
{
boost::property_tree::write_xml(std::cout, child2->second, settings);
ptree newChildren("Foo");
child2->second.put("Sub.Foo", newChildren.data()).put("BYE", "ALL DONE"); // <-- Access second element?
boost::property_tree::write_xml(std::cout << "\n\nAFTER EDITING:\n", child2->second, settings);
}
}
印刷:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Foo>bar</Foo>
<MARK>so we know it's the second</MARK>
AFTER EDITING:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Foo>bar</Foo>
<MARK>so we know it's the second</MARK>
<Sub>
<Foo>
Foo
<BYE>ALL DONE</BYE>
</Foo>
</Sub>

使用辅助函数改进样式:
