Writing to XML failing abruptly - libxml2

We have C on windows program in which we are writing some data we call as test results to an xml file.
We use libxml2-2.9.4 API to parse and write to XML.
Each test is described by its test tag "test_info" and the test result with tag "result".
We write each test along with its result as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="style/results.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<all_test_result>
<test_info TestNumber="1" TestName="test1" Duration="90s" TestServer="s1">
<result FaultCount="0" TestRunTime="0.00" testResult="success"/>
....
<test_info TestNumber="13" TestName="test14" Duration="90s" TestServer="s1">
<result FaultCount="0" TestRunTime="0.00" testResult="success"/>
<test_info TestNumber="14" TestName="test15" Duration="90s" TestServer="s1">
<result FaultCount="0" TestRunTime="0.00" testResult="success"/>
<test_info TestNumber="15" TestName="test16" Duration="90s" TestServer="s1">
<result FaultCount="0" TestRunTime="0.00" testResult="success"/>
</all_test_result>
We use function "xmlSaveFormatFileEnc" to write to XML.
Code snippet:
xmlDocPtr outDoc = NULL;
xmlNodePtr np = NULL;
xmlNodePtr rootnode = NULL;
xmlNodePtr testinfonode = NULL;
LIBXML_TEST_VERSION
resXml = xmlNewDoc(BAD_CAST "1.0");
if (resXml != NULL)
{
rootnode = xmlNewDocNode(resXml, NULL, BAD_CAST "all_test_result", NULL);
xmlDocSetRootElement(resXml, rootnode);
testinfonode = xmlNewChild(rootnode, NULL, BAD_CAST "test_info", NULL);
....
xmlNewProp(testinfonode, BAD_CAST "TestName", testName);
...
np = xmlNewDocPI(resXml, BAD_CAST "xml-stylesheet", BAD_CAST "href=\"style/results.xsl\" type=\"text/xsl\"");
xmlAddPrevSibling(xmlDocGetRootElement(resXml), np);
xmlSaveFormatFileEnc(resultXmlFile, resXml, MY_ENCODING, 1);
...
The test xml file is written every 1 second and some 0 to 200 tests tags along with their result tags are written each time in the file.
Many times the result xml file is written properly and completely.
Some times the file is not written completely and stops abrubptly like it will write incomplete file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="style/results.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<all_test_result>
<test_info TestNumber="1" TestName="test1" Duration="90s" TestServer="s1">
<result FaultCount="0" TestRunTime="0.00" testResult="success"/>
<test_info TestNumber="13" TestName="test14" Duration="90s" TestServer="s1">
<result FaultCount="0" TestRunTime="0.00" testResult="success"/>
<test_info TestNumber="14" TestName="test15" Duration="90s" TestServer="s1">
<result FaultCount="0" TestRunTime="0.00"
And then we get the error:
error : string is not in UTF-8
error : string is not in UTF-8
error : string is not in UTF-8
error : string is not in UTF-8
error : string is not in UTF-8
error : string is not in UTF-8
I/O error : encoder error
Any suggestion why is this happening and how to resolve this error?

Parse HTML/XML characters in R

I am reading in the following XML as a text file in R:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE score-partwise PUBLIC
"-//Recordare//DTD MusicXML 3.0 Partwise//EN"
"http://www.musicxml.org/dtds/partwise.dtd">
<score-partwise version="3.0">
<part-list>
<score-part id="P1">
<part-name>Music</part-name>
</score-part>
</part-list>
<part id="P1">
<measure number="1">

<key>
<fifths>0</fifths>

<octave>4</octave>

</measure>
</part>
</score-partwise>
R:
library(readtext)
xml <- readtext("musicxml.txt")$text
I am then trying to render this in Javascript via Shiny by feeding my XML text to a Javascript function. NB: Working outside of R.
shiny::tags$script(paste0('var osmd = new opensheetmusicdisplay.OpenSheetMusicDisplay(\"sheet-music\", {drawingParameters: "compact",
drawPartNames: false, drawMeasureNumbers: false, drawMetronomeMarks: false, drawTitle: false});
var loadPromise = osmd.load(\'',xml,'\');
loadPromise.then(function(){
osmd.render();
});
'))
However, when I concatenate the XML string above, it does not work because characters are escaped, e.g one line:
<note>
I tried using the unescape_xml function here (with and without the tags removed), but this does not solve the problem. It leaves me with:
"Music1044G2C44whole"
So how can I end up with a concatenated string with none of the escaped characters? It must just be a string and not another R object.
You need to wrap the contents of the tag call with shiny::HTML to ensure it is passed unescaped:
shiny::tags$script(shiny::HTML(paste0(
'var osmd = new opensheetmusicdisplay.OpenSheetMusicDisplay(\"sheet-music\",
{ drawingParameters: "compact",
drawPartNames: false,
drawMeasureNumbers: false,
drawMetronomeMarks: false,
drawTitle: false});
var loadPromise = osmd.load(\'',xml,'\');
loadPromise.then(function(){ osmd.render() });')))
Which gives you:
<script>var osmd = new opensheetmusicdisplay.OpenSheetMusicDisplay("sheet-music",
{ drawingParameters: "compact",
drawPartNames: false,
drawMeasureNumbers: false,
drawMetronomeMarks: false,
drawTitle: false});
var loadPromise = osmd.load('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

loadPromise.then(function(){ osmd.render() });</script>

Add children to existing node using R XML

I have the following XML file test.graphml that I am trying to manipulate using the XML package in R.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<graphml xmlns="http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/xmlns"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

<edge source="n2" target="n3"/>
<edge source="n1" target="n3"/>

</graphml>
I would like to nest nodes n0, n1, n2, and n3 into a new graph node as shown below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The code I have written has unknowns and errors that I am unable to resolve due to lack of experience with XML processing. I would greatly appreciate some pointers to that will help me proceed.
library(XML)
# Read file
x <- xmlParse("test.graphml")
ns <- c(graphml ="http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/xmlns")
# Create new graph node
ng <- xmlNode("graph", attrs = c("id" = "g1"))
# Add n0-n3 as children of new graph node
n0_n1_n2_n3 <- getNodeSet(x,"//graphml:node[#id = 'n0' or #id='n1' or #id='n2' or #id='n3']", namespaces = ns)
ng <- append.xmlNode(ng, n0_n1_n2_n3)
# Get only graph node
g <- getNodeSet(x,"//graphml:graph", namespaces = ns)
# Remove nodes n0-n3 from the only graph node
# How I do this?
# This did not work: removeNodes(g, n0_n1_n2_n3)
# Add new graph node as child of only graph node
g <- append.xmlNode(g, ng)
#! Error message:
Error in UseMethod("append") :

Consider XSLT, the special-purpose language to transform XML files. Since you require modification of the XML (adding parent node in a select group of children) and have to navigate through an undeclared namespace prefix (xmlns="http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/xmlns"), XSLT is an optimal solution.
However, to date R does not have a fully compliant XSL module to run XSLT 1.0 scripts like other general purpose languages (Java, PHP, Python). Nonetheless, R can call external programs (including aforementioned languages), or dedicated XSLT processors (Xalan, Saxon), or call command line interpreters including PowerShell and terminal's xsltproc using system(). Below are latter solutions.
XSLT (save as .xsl, to be referenced in R script)

Fetch abstract type data from plist

I have archived JSON data in plist as data abstract type.
My plist format is :
`<dict>
<key>
<array>
<data>
4352ght4 qwe435g5 yu67k10p
</data>
</array>
</key>
<key>
<array>
<data>
4352ght4 qwe435g5 yu67k10p
</data>
</array>
</key>
<key>
<array>
<data>
4352ght4 qwe435g5 yu67k10p
</data>
</array>
</key>
</dict>`
This data type contains long JSON entries. How do I fetch data from this property list and display them in the table.
I have also prepared .h and .m classes to fetch data.
NSString *plistFilePath = [[NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"plist.plist"];
NSDictionary *list = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:plistFilePath];
NSLog(#"%#",list);
for (id key in list) {
NSArray *array = [list objectForKey:key];
timesheetObject *timeobject = [timesheetObject alloc];
for(int i=0;i<array.count ;i++)
{
timeobject = (timesheetObject *)[NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:[array objectAtIndex:i]];
NSLog(#"%d",timeobject.taskId);
NSLog(#"Start time %#",timeobject.startTime_actual);
NSLog(#"End Time %#",timeobject.endTime_actual);
[self.objectHolderArray addObject:timeobject];

XSLT : Cannot convert the operand to 'Result tree fragment'

I work on an xslt stylesheet, and I should receive as parameter two additional XML. I get an error when I use the node-set() method (from namespace ms, microsoft). The contents of the XML is correct. The parameters are send with classic ASP.
Here's the header and the call in xslt:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:ms="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

...
<xsl:param name="xmlPlanning"></xsl:param>
<xsl:variable name="myXml" select="ms:node-set($xmlPlanning)"></xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="ms:node-set($xmlPlanning)/*"/>
Here's the stack trace of the error:
[XsltException: Impossible de convertir l'opérande en 'fragment de l'arborescence résultat'.]

What could be my problem ?
In case the parameter you are passing is already a true nodeset (XPath navigator or XPathNodeIterator in .NET or IXMLDOMNodeList for MSXML), you don't need and must not use the ms:node-set() extension function. Simply remove the call to ms:nodeset().
In case it is a string that represents XML -- well it shouldn't! Parse this string to one of the allowable parameter types for a nodeset and only then invoke the transformation -- using the true node-set.
node-set() operates on Result Document Fragments (RDFs) only, but you give it a string, which is something entirely different (even if the string contents looks like XML).
What you must do is parse the string into XML. You can use an extension script for that. The following worked for me (tested with msxsl.exe on the command line), but if you don't want to use JScript you can use C# or any other supported language to do the same.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:ms="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:script="urn:my-scripts"

<xsl:variable name="myXml" select="script:stringToXml(string($xmlPlanning))" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="$myXml/*" /><!-- whatever -->
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
As Dimitre said you can use ms:node-set but you must use node()
<xsl:variable name="yourVariable">
<xsl:copy-of select="/foo/bar/something/node()"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="ms:node-set($yourVariable)/theOtherElement"/>
