Reading Plist/Xml Files

uzair187

Hey,

Are there any default methods in Papaya to read/write and edit plists or Xml files?

赵韬

Yes, there is XML api
Refer to API_reference.pdf in docs.
And there is a sample project called spritesheet_xml

Awesome!! thanks...

Another issue:

Code:
var dict = parsexml("xmlfile.xml",1);
trace(dict);
trace(dict.keys());

Xml File:
<begin>

         <inner>

                <a>1</a>

                <b>2</b>

        </inner>

</begin>

When I run the code dict.keys() gives only "begin" as the key (refer to the attached output). Shouldn't it be shwoing all the keys ["begin","inner","a","b"]  ?? How can we get the values of a and b directly?

赵韬

This is correct output. dict is at the first level. There is only one 1st level key 'begin'.

dict.get("begin").get("#children")[0].keys()  will return ["inner"]

You need to know the hierarchy and use multiple get() to traverse.

Ok thanks it works ..
But I think you should include an example in the docs too because it is not that straight forward to understand for someone new to Papaya

One more thing .. Is there any default method to edit the xml file?

uzair187

Any ideas ???

赵韬

Default method? Not sure what do you mean. You can write a file with xml in it. Edit it with and file editor.

uzair187

You mean that I cannot edit the same xml file that I read from the 'res' folder?
