loXml = createobject("CkXml")

// The sample input XML is available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml
llSuccess = loXml.LoadXmlFile("car.xml")
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loXml.LastErrorText
    release loXml
    return
endif

// Navigate to the "car" node, which is the 1st child:
loCarNode = loXml.FirstChild()

// Get the value of the "model" attribute:
? "model = " + loCarNode.GetAttrValue("model")

// Get the value of the "hp" attribute as an integer:
lnHorsepower = loCarNode.GetAttrValueInt("hp")
? "horsepower = " + str(lnHorsepower)

// Iterate over the attributes and show the name/value of each:
lnNumAttr = loCarNode.NumAttributes

i = 0
do while i < lnNumAttr
    ? loCarNode.GetAttributeName(i) + ": " + loCarNode.GetAttributeValue(i)
    i = i + 1
enddo

release loCarNode


release loXml
