I wanted to read the multiple rows in the xml file got from a partuclar link which contains multiple tags, wanted to loop through the whole xml data and fetch each records and insert into database.

Answer 1

You can do this (as an example) to print the title of each item:

 new XmlParser().parseText( xml ).channel.item.each {
   println it.title.text()
 }

If you have the xml as a String. If it is not a String, you’d want to use one of the 3 forms of parse instead of parseText
