See more XML Examples

# This example uses the XML document at https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/xero_accounts.xml
# The data is a download of the Xero accounts for the sandbox company test data (it's not real data).

# We'll use Chilkat HTTP to download the XML.
# This example assumes the Chilkat HTTP API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
