I am woking on a small project just by myself, working on simple game ideas I want to pursue. What I have now is that when I try to get the name of the xml tag I am loading and set it to a string I cannot use it in a if statement to check what it is describing(attribute loading code). I can do a println and grab the data from it, although it will not return true for some godforsaken reason? Also I do get an error in the console when it is run. Most likely this is an error of my own Ignorance I am unable to see.

XML File:
Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<polygon>

<map title="Default Map" version="100">Shit about map</poly>

<poly id="0" x="100" y="400" w="600" h="300" c="100">big blue rect</poly>

<poly id="1" x="500" y="500" w="400" h="100" c="200">small red rect</poly>

<poly id="2" x="300" y="200" w="100" h="100" c="200">small red rect</poly>
</polygon>
 

My sketch:
Code:

import processing.opengl.*;

XMLElement xmlMap;  //defines xml string
int[][] polyData;  //defines array
int polyId;  //what poly were on
int polyPCount=5;  //how many attributes each polyId has
int polyCount;  //defined--setup in setup(obviously)

int gravity = -5;
int selfX = 200;  //SOLDIERS COORDS
int selfY = 0;  //SOLDIERS COORDS
int selfW = 30;  //SOLDIERS WIDTH
int selfH = 50;  //SOLDIERS HEIGHT
int veloX = 0;


void setup(){
  size(800, 600, OPENGL);
  frameRate(45);
  
  xmlMap = new XMLElement(this, "maps/sites.xml");  //loads map xml data
  polyCount = xmlMap.getChildCount();  //how many polys are there
  polyData = new int[polyCount][polyPCount];  //makes a 2d array first is poly id 2nd level is 5 attributes
  XMLElement[] polyName = xmlMap.getChildren();  //test
  int curPoly=0;  //current polygon we are parsing
  int i=0;  //current number were on
  while(i < polyCount)  {  //runs through once for each poly
    XMLElement polygon = xmlMap.getChild(curPoly);
    String pieceName = polyName[i].getName();  //test
    println(pieceName);
    if(polyName[i].getName() == "map"){
	println("ok nik");
    }
    if(polyName[i].getName() == "poly"){
	polyData[curPoly][0] = polygon.getIntAttribute("x");  //x
	polyData[curPoly][1] = polygon.getIntAttribute("y");  //y
	polyData[curPoly][2] = polygon.getIntAttribute("h");  //height
	polyData[curPoly][3] = polygon.getIntAttribute("w");  //width
	polyData[curPoly][4] = polygon.getIntAttribute("c");  //color
	//LOG TO CONSOLE
	println("Poly " + i + ":");
	println("  x axis:" + polyData[curPoly][0]);
	println("  y axis:" + polyData[curPoly][1]);
	println("  height:" + polyData[curPoly][2]);
	println("  width:" + polyData[curPoly][3]);
	println("  color:" + polyData[curPoly][4]);
	println(pieceName);
	curPoly++;
    }/*else{
	//LOG TO CONSOLE
	println("Poly " + i + ":");
	println("  x axis:" + polyData[curPoly][0]);
	println("  y axis:" + polyData[curPoly][1]);
	println("  height:" + polyData[curPoly][2]);
	println("  width:" + polyData[curPoly][3]);
	println("  color:" + polyData[curPoly][4]);
	println(pieceName);
    }*/
    i++;
  }
}

 

This is just the init and setup() although it should be all thats needed.
And the Error:
Code:

Closing tag does not match opening tag: `poly' != `map', SystemID='file:.', Line=3

or use for strings

if (match (polyName[i].getName(), "map") != null){

{

but equals is more exact
