Demonstrates how to traverse all nodes in an XML tree.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.77 or greater.

Local $bSuccess = False

;  Use the NextInTraversal2 method to traverse all nodes in the XML tree rooted at the caller.

$oXml = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Xml")

$bSuccess = $oXml.LoadXmlFile("qa_data/xml/twoPigs.xml")

;  This is the XML traversed in this example:

;  	<species name="pot belly pig">
;  	    <animal>
;  	        <name>Molly II</name>

;  			<info>Molly came from a place where an old, ill man had too many animals.
;  	              	The animals were seldom fed and rats would eat the newborn piglets.
;  	             	 When Molly was found at one week old, she was the only piglet of 
;  	              	her siblings who did not get stepped on by a cow. She is a sweet, 
;  	              	friendly pig who likes to hang out on Cathy's porch on the lounge 
;  	              	pad.
;  			</info>

;  	    <animal>

;  			<gender spay-neuter="no">M</gender>
;  			<info>
;  			 	Nigel was the first pig and the reason for the rescue in the
;  			 	first place. He is 13 now and doing well, but takes a number 
;  				of medications, as you can see below.
