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>

    // Get the value of the "model" attribute:
