Editing XMBML Coding

== Basic XMBML Structure ==
This page outlines the logic behind [[XMB]] XML configuration files. For some practise usage see: [[XMBML Coding Examples]]

This is a reduced version of [[XMB-Network | category_network.xml]] with only one icon (tex_browser) that launches the webbrowser (type:x-xmb/xmlwebbrowser). The .xml is loaded starting from &lt;View id="root"&gt;, then inside the &lt;Items&gt; table there is a &lt;Query&gt; linking to #seg_browser (the character "#" links to a &lt;View id&gt; in the same file, so is linked to &lt;View id="seg_browser"&gt;). When &lt;View id="seg_browser"&gt; is loaded first starts reading the table of &lt;Items&gt; that contains an &lt;Item&gt; that is linked using attr="browser" to a table of attributes &lt;Table key="browser"

{{Boxcode|content=<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<XMBML version="1.0">
	<View id="root">
		<Items>
			<Query class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap" key="seg_browser" src="#seg_browser"/>
		</Items>
	</View>
	<View id="seg_browser">
		<Attributes>
			<Table key="browser">
				<Pair key="icon_rsc"><String>tex_browser</String></Pair>
				<Pair key="icon_notation"><String>WNT_XmbItemBrowser</String></Pair>
				<Pair key="title_rsc"><String>msg_browser</String></Pair>
 			</Table>
		</Attributes>
		<Items>
			<Item class="type:x-xmb/xmlwebbrowser" key="browser" attr="browser"/>
		</Items>
	</View>
</XMBML>
</syntaxhighlight>}}

*The contents of the .xml file can be identifyed by the &lt;View id&gt; and &lt;key&gt; this way:
**&lt;View id="root"&gt; contains 1 &lt;Items&gt; with the key="seg_browser"
**&lt;View id="seg_browser"&gt; contains 1 &lt;Items&gt; with the key="browser"

{{Boxcode|content=<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
	<View id="root">
		<Items>
			<Query key="seg_browser"/>
		</Items>
	</View>
	<View id="seg_browser">
		<Attributes>
			<Table key="browser">
 			</Table>
		</Attributes>
		<Items>
			<Item key="browser"/>
		</Items>
	</View>
</syntaxhighlight>}}
*Note the "Pair key"'s inside "attributes tables" are not considered identifyers of the xml tag

=== View ID's (Enviroment ID's, and Segment ID's) ===
Identifyers made of UTF-8 characters and without spaces. There are two types: Enviroments, and Segments

*'''Enviroments''' are reserved names (hardcoded in VSH?): '''"root", "root_info", "root_for_dex", "root_dex", "root_for_BDU", "root_power_only", "root_hide_friend", "tool_root", "shop_root", "shop_guest_root", "shop_staff_root", "root_arcade"''' and obsolete: '''"stage_demo_root", "xai_test_root", "store_root"'''
**Used to load specific XMB items for different PS3 types (retail, debug, etc...), or to load items in specific boot modes (e.g: in shop PS3's "locked" or "unlocked" modes), can be considered the [[XMB]] enviroments used by the [[XMB#XMB_Configuration_Files|XMB Configuration Files]]
**Usually inside the .XML files there are several '''&lt;View id&gt;''' of this type starting with '''"root"''' (retail XMB) at the top, only one of them is loaded by [[VSH]] when the PS3 boots

*'''Segments''' are all the others with names starting with '''"seg_"''' (e.g: '''seg_'''gamedata, '''seg_'''gameexit, '''seg'''_manual, etc...). There must be no other segments with the same name in the same .XML file, but some segments used for common functions are repeated in different .XML files and uses the same segment name and key identifyer (e.g. the segment "seg_gameexit" containing an item with the key "gamexit" is repeated in 8 .XML files)
**Segments are loaded by some '''query classes''' (inside '''&lt;items&gt;''' tables)  by making his '''"src"''' to point to the target segment. When the segment is in the same .XML file it works simply by "jumping" to another line of the same file. When the segment is in another .XML file first is needed to locate the target .XML file, and then the "jump" to the target segment
***Links to a segment in the same .XML file uses the character "'''#'''", and the name of the target segment (e.g: '''src="#seg_poweroff"''')
***Links to a segment in another .XML file uses the '''xmb://localhost/''' function with the path of the target file, the character "'''#'''", and the name of the target segment (e.g: '''src="xmb://localhost/dev_flash/vsh/resource/explore/xmb/category_user.xml#seg_poweroff"'''), or alternativelly the short path form replacing '''"dev_flash/vsh/resource/explore/"''' by '''"%flash/"''' (e.g: '''src="xmb://localhost/%flash/xmb/category_user.xml#seg_poweroff"''')
**Is posible to load the "root" view IDs of other file (e.g: '''src="xmb://localhost/%flash/xmb/category_user.xml#root"''')

=== Items (Query classes, and Item classes) ===
The contents of this sub group dictates what exists on the XMB when this entry is used. There can be more than one.

When creating a XMB entry, you must tell vsh.self and its modules what you want to do. And the first part of a &lt;Items&gt; sub-entry does just this by telling the PS3 the "class" of the entry in the form of either  "''&lt;Item class=""''" or "''&lt;Query class=""''" (in the case of "''&lt;Query class=""''" can be used several times under the same &lt;items&gt; to perform group of actions). There are many acceptable values possible, here are some examples:

*'''&lt;key&gt;'''
**Used to identify the sub-entry inside '''&lt;Items&gt;''' tables (usually the same value as '''&lt;attr&gt;''' and the '''&lt;Table key&gt;''' associated if present)
**Example: '''key="my_icon"'''

*'''&lt;attr&gt;'''
**Used to link &lt;Items&gt; to a table of attributes with the same name '''&lt;Table key&gt;''' inside '''&lt;Attributes&gt;'''
**Example: '''attr="my_icon_metadata"'''

*'''&lt;src&gt;'''
**Used to link to other xml files or utilise a XMB database functions (see [[XMB database]])
**Refer to another XMB entry inside the current xml file. Example: '''src="#seg_package_files"'''
**Refer to another XMB entry inside another xml file. Example: '''src="xmb://localhost/dev_flash/vsh/resource/explore/xmb/category_game_tool2.xml#seg_package_files"'''
**Use a XMB database function. Example: '''src="xcb://localhost/query?table=MMS_MEDIA_TYPE_SYSTEM&genre=Music&sort=+StorageMedia:Common.titleForSort&cond=Ae+StorageMedia:StorageMedia.type %xCB_MEDIA_TYPE_DLNA"'''

=== Attributes (Pairs) ===
This provides additional information about '''&lt;Items&gt;''' sub-entries by linking them to a table with attributes associated (is optionall, not all &lt;Items&gt; requires attributes), this tables uses a '''&lt;Table key&gt;''' matching the '''&lt;attr&gt;''' sub-entry asociated and contains one or more attributes separated in lines starting with '''&lt;Pair key&gt;'''.
