Read XML files

Scripting
1

Hi all,
I wonder if it’s possible to use an XML file to store data and read it with RhinoScript similar to the way it works with ini files?

thanks, Tobias

@tobias,

yes this works if you import System.Xml. Examples to read can be found in this and this thread.

Hi Clement,
Yeah, in Python it’s straight forward, but I wanted to connect it to RhinoScript…

thanks,
Tobias

In case you are processing huge and complex XML, you can try SAX approach. For example, here is one script I’ve did: https://github.com/ll--/Rhino-OSMImport/blob/master/dev/osm_parser.py The handler object there is specific to my project and maybe bit overcomplicated but idea is there.
