Question

in the post located here

Andrew Finnell’s reply was by far the most helpful to a point. I do however need to know how to expand that into allowing other sections other than just

<properties>
</properties>

If the answer is already on that page please let me know, if not can someone help me out.

Basically I want to have

<properties>
</properties>
<blah1>
</blah1>
<blah2>
</blah2>

etc… as my sections. All the normal xml libs and such I have found are far to bulky and confusing so I am hoping to be able to use the afore referenced method with much more ease. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

An xml file needs excatly one root element. Otherwise it is not valid and can’t be processed by xml parsers.

A valid xml with sections could look like this:

<properties>  <!-- root element -->
  <section1>  <!-- section 1 as a child of root -->
  </section1>
  <section2>  <!-- section 2 as a child of root -->
  </section2>
</properties>
