Methods for Getting Attributes

See more XML Examples

Demonstrates some methods for getting attribute name/values.

The input XML, available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml, is this:

<root>
    <car color="black" make="mercedes" model="C350" hp="302" engine="v6" type="sedan">Mercedes Benz C350</car>
</root>

// Navigate to the "car" node, which is the 1st child:
carNode := CkXml_FirstChild(xml);

// Get the value of the "model" attribute:
Memo1.Lines.Add('model = ' + CkXml__getAttrValue(carNode,'model'));

// Get the value of the "hp" attribute as an integer:

// Iterate over the attributes and show the name/value of each:

  end;
