Demonstrates some methods for getting attribute name/values.

The input XML, available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml, is this:

    <car color="black" make="mercedes" model="C350" hp="302" engine="v6" type="sedan">Mercedes Benz C350</car>
</root>

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim xml As ChilkatXml
xml.Initialize
Dim carNode As ChilkatXml
Dim numAttr As Int
Dim horsepower As Int
Dim i As Int

'  The sample input XML is available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml
success = xml.LoadXmlFile("car.xml")
If success <> True Then
    Log(xml.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


'  Navigate to the "car" node, which is the 1st child:
carNode = xml.FirstChild

'  Get the value of the "model" attribute:
Log("model = " & carNode.GetAttrValue("model"))

'  Get the value of the "hp" attribute as an integer:
horsepower = carNode.GetAttrValueInt("hp")
Log("horsepower = " & horsepower)

'  Iterate over the attributes and show the name/value of each:
numAttr = carNode.NumAttributes

i = 0
Do While i < numAttr
    Log(carNode.GetAttributeName(i) & ": " & carNode.GetAttributeValue(i))
    i = i + 1
Loop
