Parse and Format XML

areed24 · April 26th, 2009, 09:44 PM

I am able to read in the following xml document into my website with the following code:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<content>
  <paragraph1>
    This is the content for paragraph one.
 <li>List Item 1</li>
 <li>List Item 2</li>
 <li>List Item 3</li>
  </paragraph1>
  <paragraph2>
    This is the content for paragraph 2.
  </paragraph2>
</content>

Code:

        
        Dim doc As New System.Xml.XmlDocument()
        doc.Load(Server.MapPath("App_Data/content.xml"))
        p1.InnerText = doc.InnerText

But it reads it in as one paragraph. How can I read the xml file in and format it based on its nodes? Everything that I have tried throws an object undeclared error.

Hi,
The parse-xmlgeneric function processes XML input, returning a list of XML tags, attributes, and text. The :pxml module is loaded with the form (require :pxml). Symbols naming functionality in the module are in the net.xml.parser package. Examples in this document assume (use-package :net.xml.parser) has been evaluated.
Here is a simple example:

(parse-xml "<item1><item2 att1='one'/>this is some text</item1>")

-->((item1 ((item2 att1 "one")) "this is some text")) The output format is known as LXML (Lisp XML) format.
