Demonstrate the XML "I" Property

See more XML Examples

Demonstrates the XML "I" property. The properties I, J, and K can be used in paths to access the I'th, J'th, or K'th child in a path. Three indexing properties are provided to allow for triple-nested loops using this feature.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or later.

func chilkatTest() {

    // 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.
