Hi Saint,

Thanks for the feedback, this is a simple introduction to parsing xml. What you do after you have parsed the xml is up to you, and dependent on what you need to do.

I go into using the parsed data a little bit in the Reading XML Data, I have some examples of reading text and attributes. I also loop through elements in the tree.

So hopefully that might help you. But if you don’t like it that’s all right as well. To each their own, and best of luck.

The article is very disappointing when it comes to parsing xml files. Im sure if somebody is parsing a xml file, he would know how to form paths etc. Even if it absolutely had to be explained here, I guess the writer completely forgot to add the part where any post processing could be done on parsed xml file. Whats the point of just parsing. What next after parsing?? How do I access different element of the tree? How do I see the parsed data?
Its a useless article which doesnt tell you ANYTHING whatsoever.
