Detailed Description

In order to load an xml document, we use the constructor

let doc = new XmlDocument(fileName)

and parse with the parse method

doc.parse()

Root node of the document can be obtained via the getFirstChild method:

let rootNode = doc.getFirstChild()

For example, to iterate over the first level tags in the xml file one can use

let rootNode = doc.getFirstChild()
let childNode = rootNode.getFirstChild()
while (childNode){
  ...
  childNode = childNode.getNextSibling()
}

Tag name can be obtained via getName, pcData via getPcData methods.
