Description

Specifications: A tree is a Lua table representation of an element and its contents. The table must have a name key, giving the element name. The tree may have a attr key, which gives a table of all of the attributes of the element. Only string keys are relevant. If the element is not empty, each child node is contained in tree[1], tree[2], etc. Child nodes may be either strings, denoting character data content, or other trees.

Spec by example lz = commonlib.XML2Lua("first childboldsecond child") lz ={ { "first child", { "bold", attr={ }, n=1, name="b" }, "second child", attr={ justify="centered" }, n=3, name="paragraph" }, n=1 }

Sample Code

NPL.load("(gl)script/ide/LuaXML.lua");
local xmlRoot = commonlib.XML2Lua("<paragraph justify='centered'>first child<b>bold</b>second child</paragraph>")
log(commonlib.Lua2XmlString(xmlRoot));
