Reading XML from the Serial Port (Read 1145 times)

Reading XML from the Serial Port

Hi,

Can XMLElement be used to read xml from a serial port? If so how is it constructed?  The description in the reference seems to suggest there is more detailed documentation on the developer site, but I can't seem to find this now that it has been rolled into the core.

Thanks
Jim

It's obviously a library that was considered useful enough to incorporate into the Processing core; so the full documentation is available in the Processing Developer reference.

Having said that I wouldn't expect it to read directly from the serial port.  I would have thought you should first use Serial to get the data as a string and then use XMLElement to parse it; though you would probably have to do something to ensure that you've got valid XML first...
