# CFXMLParserGetContext

Returns the context for an XML parser.

## Declaration

```occ
extern void CFXMLParserGetContext(CFXMLParserRef parser, CFXMLParserContext *context);
```

## Parameters

- `parser`: The XML parser to examine.
- `context`: On return, a pointer to the context structure for parser.

## Discussion

Discussion If you set a context for the parser, it will be passed to you as a parameter in each of the parser callback functions. The context data structure is application defined and associated with a parser using one of the CFXMLParserCreate... functions.
