XML Input Format

The XML input format parses XML text files.

XML files (also called "XML documents") are hierarchies of nodes. Nodes can include other nodes, and each node can have a node value and a set of attributes.
For example, the following XML node has a value (in this instance, "Rome"), and a single attribute ("Population", whose value is, in this example, "3350000"):

<CITY Population='3350000'>Rome</CITY>

XML documents can be parsed in different ways, and the XML input format offers three distinct usages whose applicability depends on the structure of the documents, and on the structure of the information that needs to be extracted.

Note: The XML input format requires the Microsoft XML parser (MSXML) to be installed on the computer running Log Parser.
