Hi Bijan,
I think my problem is that I'm somewhat new to XML. I'm currently playing
with YAXO. The readme for YAXO says: "use the DOM parser. It returns a
hierarchical data structure containing the XML elements". I don't know
what's going on but I don't see a hierarchical data structure being
returned anywhere.
I think my problem has more to do with documentation (or lack of it).
Are you familiar with YAXO and the example cases provided? In particular
the example:
XMLDOMParser parseDocumentFromFileNamed: 'examples\dream.xml'.
When I set a "halt" in parseDocumentFrom: method of the XMLDOMParser class
and examine class variables I don't see anything remotely like a
hierachical structure representing the XML elements.
