The XmlReader class

The om.XmlReader class provides methods to read and process a file written in XML format.

Steps to use a XML reader:
  1. Declare a variable with the om.XmlReader type.
  2. Create the reader object with the createFileReader() method and assign the reference to the variable.
  3. Process SAX events in a WHILE loop, by reading document fragments with the read() method.
  4. Inside the loop, depending on the SAX event, process element attributes with getAttributes() or get the element data with the getCharacters() methods.
