Stef,

So far, I about all I have done with the xml parser is note that it can parse the data from my Garmin Forerunner. � Otherwise, I have used SIXX with good results, at least as far as I have pushed it. �Its code might give you some ideas that would apply to outside xml (maybe), or if you can control the schema, you might simply leave it to SIXX??

Hi guys

I often encounter the following situation: I have an xmldoc and I want to load it and get the corresponding objects.
Here is an example

<group>
� �<groupName>Test2Cards</groupName>
� �<cards><card>
� �<cardName>All Is Dust</cardName>
� �<manaCost>7</manaCost>
� �<convertedManaCost>7</convertedManaCost>
� �<type>Tribal Sorcery � Eldrazi</type>
� �<cardText>Each player sacrifices all colored permanents he or she controls.</cardText>
� �<rarity>mythic</rarity>
� �<cardNumber>1</cardNumber>
� �<artist>Jason Felix</artist>
� �<kind>STD</kind>
� �<expansionId>ELDRAZI</expansionId>
</card>
<card>
� �<cardName>Kird Ape</cardName>
� �<manaCost>G</manaCost>
� �<convertedManaCost>1</convertedManaCost>
� �<type>Tribal Sorcery � Eldrazi</type>
� �<cardText>get +1/+1 when you control</cardText>
� �<rarity>common</rarity>
� �<cardNumber>33</cardNumber>
� �<artist>Zork</artist>
� �<kind>STD</kind>
� �<expansionId>WORLDWAKE</expansionId>
</card></cards>
</group>

I have card and group. But I could have several kind of nodes. So I was wondering if there are patterns to read in
and map that to objects. In the future I would like to have magritte like type of first class instance variables that
perform i/o in xml or other formats because this is always the same.
