Hi,

Is there a good doc or example explaining how to parse XML ?

I looked at the code in Core.cpp, and in examples XMLViewer and AddressBookXML, but not very easy to understand well how it works... I'd like to have some functions and methods description, but I was unable to find.

I already succeeded in parsing partially the XML result from ISBNdb. Here is an example :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<ISBNdb server_time="2011-03-21T10:24:29Z">
<BookList total_results="1" page_size="10" page_number="1" shown_results="1">
<BookData book_id="diagnostic_histopathology_of_tumors_2_volume_set_with_cd_rom" isbn="0443074348" isbn13="9780443074349">
<Title>Diagnostic histopathology of tumors</Title>
<TitleLong></TitleLong>
<AuthorsText>edited by Christopher D. M. Fletcher</AuthorsText>
<PublisherText publisher_id="churchill_livingstone_else_a01">[Edinburgh] ; Philadelphia : Churchill Livingstone Elsevier, 2007.</PublisherText>
<Details change_time="2008-02-28T22:30:14Z" price_time="2011-03-02T01:11:15Z" edition_info="(set)" language="eng" physical_description_text="2 v. (x, 1883, 41 p.) : ill. (some col.) ; 29 cm. + 2 CD-ROMs." lcc_number="" dewey_decimal_normalized="616.99407583" dewey_decimal="616.99407583" />
</BookData>
</BookList>
</ISBNdb>

I'm able to retrieve the text for Title, Titlelong, AuthorsText and so on, but now, I want to retrieve the <Details> : change_time, price_time, edition_info, language and so on. Not yet found the right way to do that... Some help should be appreciated !

Thks.
