Hello together,

I already searched in the archive, but I didn't find a clear answer.

Every time you want to read .xml files, you have to write your own
parser (e.g. .edit xml_to_struct__define.pro) right?

But is there a possibilty to build up a struct automatically? E.g. the
input .xml file

<Solar_System>
<Planet NAME='Mercury'>
<Orbit UNITS='kilometers' TYPE='ulong64'>579100000</Orbit>
<Period UNITS='days' TYPE='float'>87.97</Period>
<Satellites TYPE='int'>0</Satellites>
</Planet>
...
</Solar_System>

output in IDL (structs within a "main" struct) the name of struct and
tags depends on the name of elements and the attributes

solar_system={solar_system,planet:{planet,orbit:
{orbit,units:'kilometers',type:'ulong64',value:'579100000'}, period:
{period,units:'days',type:'float',value:'87.97'},satellites:
{satellites,type:'int',value:'0'}}}

print, solar_system.planet.orbit
{ kilometers ulong64 579100000}

print, solar_system.planet.orbit.value
579100000

My questions are now: Should I write my own parser? Should I wait for
IDL8, maybe there are more adv. features for XML? Or does someone have
already such a routine?

thanks,
Sebastian
