Class RMXMLReader

java.lang.Object

com.ribs.datasource.RMXMLReader

public class RMXMLReader
extends Object

This class tries to load an XML file as a plist. A plist is made up of simple types (String, Number, Date) and just two complex types (List/Map). This makes the loaded data much less ambigous than standard XML datastructures.

This code hopes to find a tag that better describes the form of the plist.
