*NOTE: The '''Child Element''' defination describe the Child Element and his Attributes where the '''Brother Element''' describe the Brother Element and his Attributes.
So the full order to read will be '''Child Element''' >>> '''Attributes''', '''Brother Element''' >>> '''Attributes'''. The Root (so offset 0x00) of any SonyPlaystation Resource file always start's with a '''Child Element''' to read.

*Attribute types 1 and 2 are the only ones that stores the value inside the attribute definition itself (from the point of view of code are defined and given a value at the same time, from the point of view of the structure can be said the value is "embedded" in the cxml TOC). Attributes 1 and 2 doesnt accesses any of the other tables of the cxml structure
*Attribute types 4 and 5 stores an array of values inside an "arrays table". This tables stores multiples arrays in a special format intended to reduce the final size of the table by avoiding duplicated arrays inside it. To recover a single array from a "arrays table" attributes types 4 and 5 specifyes a position in the table by the "offset" (where the array we are trying to recover begins) and the "number" (of consecutive items that composes the array we are trying to recover) <!-- this arrays table access needs a better explain anyway, because is important to know how works the build process that removes duplicated values -->
*Attribute type 7 stores a string in the "strings table", in this table next to the string we are trying to recover is defined an offset that "loops back" to the element that owns the attribute.
**Example: in [http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/CXML_Containers#QRC_2 rhm.qrc v1.00] the first "file" element of the TOC (at offset 0x78) has 2 attributes: "src" (at offset 0x94) is a type 6 attribute, and "id" (at offset 0xA4) is a type 7 attribute, "src" points to the "file table" and defines the file by his offset and size (this way you know where is the file, no mistery with attribute type 6). And "id" points to the string table at offset 0x1B0. If you look in the string table, the first string has an offset that points back to the "file" element in the TOC at offset 0x78 (in the runtime we have readed the definition of the element "file" in the TOC----> then the attribute id with the string---> then back to the TOC to the same "file" element so we can read all his attributes again).
**The purpose of this pointer that returns back from the strings table ---> to the TOC is a bit unknown, seems to be related with the other attributes owned by the same element and the way how the structure is accessed in the runtime (maybe the system does a loop to access every one of the attributes that belongs to an element). This special feature is what has been named in the wiki page before as "ID with ref" (and "ID without ref" for att type 8 <strike>because doesnt have it</strike>), now we are using too the concept of loops, loopback, and crossed loopbacks, but in my oppinion the names of attibute types 7 and 8 cant be decided yet because we dont know exactly what is the purpose of it (is hard to give it a name before knowing exactly how it works)

When the file is compiled the info from the .xml is stored in the '''TOC''' (at offset 0x40, colored in red in the example below). It starts with the main element '''qrc''' and his only children '''file-table''' that has his own 5 childrens '''file''' (all them are elements). Every '''file''' element has 2 attributes '''src''' and '''id'''.
When the qrc container is build all the info from he .xml is stored in the "tree table" (at offset 0x40) that is the first area after the CXML header, and the files itself are stored in a "file table" placed at bottom of the container (at offset 0x250)


The attribute '''src''' stores the information needed to locate the file, either in PC (before compiled) or locally inside the CXML container (after compiled). In the .xml example above the value of '''src''' are PC paths (used by the compiler to locate the file inside the PC), but when compiled the value is lost, the file is stored inside the container '''Files table''' (at offset 0x250, colored in orange in the example below), and is indexed in the container '''TOC''' by using an entry with data type 6 composed of '''file offset''' + '''file size''' (used by PS3 firmware to locate the file inside the container '''Files table''')
The "tree table" (colored in red tones in the example) starts with the elements: "qrc" and "file-table"... and after this, the element "file" is repeated 5 times (first file entry at 0x78)... all this 5 "file" belongs to "file-table" element
 
The value of attribute '''id''' is stored inside the container '''Strings table''' (at offset 0x0x1B0, colored in green in the example below), and is indexed in the container '''TOC''' by using an entry with data type 7 composed by '''filename offset''' + '''unknown''' (used by the PS3 to locate the text string inside the container '''Strings table''')

You can compare this table with the xml representation of colboot.raf contents in [http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Talk:Coldboot.raf#Coldboot.sxml coldboot.raf talk page]
*Attribute 8 means there is another element in the xml (a different element than the one who owns the attribute) with the same name (so the loopback of his string points to a different element). In this case coldboot.raf uses the name '''mtrl_logo''' 2 times (but is only stored one time in the string table):
{{Boxcode|code=<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<raf> <!-- this is a reduced version of coldboot.raf.cxml -->
<scene>
<actor material="mtrl_logo"/>
</scene>
<material-table>
<material id="mtrl_logo">
</material-table>
</raf>

==CXML decompiler==
==CXML decompiler==
Experimental python script made by flatz for research purposes, there was several versions of it where some minor changes where made, to read about that changes check the history of the page
Experimental tool coded by flatz for documenting purposes, three versions of the tool was released publically in a IRC channel the same day (first and second versions had bugs which were identified and fixed)


The tool extracts the files inside a CXML container (CXML, QRCF, P3TF, RAFO, etc...), the extracted filenames contains the hexcodes for fileoffset and filelenght, additionally it generates an .xml that represents the original CXML structure where can be seen the order of the files and all the other data inside it
The tool can extract the files contained inside a CXML container (CXML, QRCF, P3TF, RAFO, etc...), and generates an .xml that represents the original CXML structure


*Usage:
*Usage:
**You can copypaste the python code below and save it in your PC as cxmdecompiler.py then run it in command line without arguments to verify that it works fine (you need python v2.7 installed)
**Note the original files [[lines.qrc]] and [[coldboot.raf]] are compressed with zlib (a compression layer that affects the whole file and makes it imposible to read the cxml structure). The command line examples below considers the files was decompressed in a previous step (using a [[Qt_Resource_Container_%28QRC%29#ZLIB_archivers|zlib archiver]]), in this previous step the file-extension was renamed to "qrcf" and "rafo" (which are the decompressed versions where the cxml structure is fully readable and the tool can process it)
**The original files [[lines.qrc]] and [[coldboot.raf]] are zlib compressed (and the CXML decompiler cant read zlib compressed files). The command line examples below considers the files has been decompressed in a previous step (using a [[Qt_Resource_Container_(QRC)#QRC_related_tools|zlib tool]]), in that previous step the file-extension was renamed to "qrcf" and "rafo" (which are the decompressed versions where the cxml structure is fully readable and the tool can process it)

v5 alpha - Floats precission adjusted (previous versions had errors in the output of coldboot.raf)
v6 alpha - Now the extracted filenames contains the hexcodes for fileoffset and filelength, both values are needed for the SEARCH/REPLACE patterns to remap them in the internal .QRC structure, as can be seen in the experiments made [https://www.psx-place.com/threads/research-modifying-the-coldboot-gameboot-sequence-custom_render_plugin-sprx-rco.25952/page-19#post-214240 here] and [https://www.psx-place.com/threads/research-modifying-gaia-visualization-custom_render_plugin-earth-qrc.27756/ here]
v7 alpha - Filenames simplifyed, is better to have the filenames standarized for automated/mass comparison purposes in between official and custom files

===CXML decompiler (exe for windows)===
*Problems/bugs
There are tools to pack a python script together with some python libraries into an executable .exe to run it in windows. Some versions of the CXML decompiler script was distributed in this format but most probably the download inks are dead or are old versions, if someone wants to upload some of them post the links here
<strike>In v3 floats conversion from hex is not correct (is rounded up, causing an innacuracy). Example:
 
In coldboot.raf the "rotation" value for the "actors" stored in hexadecimal is 3FC90FD8, this value is converted/extracted by "cxml decompiler v3" tool as: 1.5708 (the value has been rounded up)
*CXML decompiler v3 alpha, download links: http://multiupload.biz/dnsipf0dkssz/cxml_decompiler_v3_alpha_MultiUpload.biz.7z.html
The accurate conversion should be 1.570796 (no rounded up, 6 decimals precission)</strike> Fixed in v4
 
 
It's easy to fix that, just replace "{0:3.6}" (without quotes) with "{0}".
