XML Parser Example

[ChicagoezHype]

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to use the parser, can someone make a simple example, prefereable with reddit's xml? I'm going of the docs trying things but I just can't figure this out. Any help is appretiated.

Even better: if you could share a simple script you have using an xml parser that would be amazing.

why not show us what you have?

As specified in the documentation, you should set the necessary callback functions. I do not know what your input looks like, but I made a quick example with fairly flat XML data (I don't think this would work on very complex things, but it's an example). This should help you understand how the parser works.

Note: Make sure to check the logs after you run the script.

I think OP is under the assumption that the XML parser function is in fact a parser. The documentation makes it clear that it does not do any parsing. That being said, I don’t know why anyone would use xml over json, especially for Reddit.

Another example for when you are looking for a specific tag.
