Processing & XML Files
Apr 19th, 2010, 1:37am  
Hi,

I'm new to the forum and have a question about pulling in data from XML files.

I have a file set out like so:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
        <library>
            <book>
		<id>3</id>
		<title>Dragonflight</title>
		<author>Anne McCaffery</author>
		<genre>Fantasy Fiction</genre>
            </book>

            <book>
		<id>4</id>
		<title>The DaVinci Code</title>
		<author>Dan Brown</author>
		<genre>Fiction</genre>
            </book>
         </library>

But I can't get processing to integrate it. Partially the problem is that the help section of the site (which I use a lot) has things set out more like this:
Quote:
<book id="4">Book Title</book>


However that version won't work for what I want to do because I need a LOT more options and variables and eventually want to code a search. Can anyone give me some hints? It's the 'child' and 'parent' thing I'm having trouble with. How could I access the information of 'author' and 'genre' in my file?

Thanks,
Alanna.

Perhaps the sample code I give in XML database thread can help you to get started
