ABAP_DESCRIPTION
Using simple XML data, this example demonstrates how various steps work, alongside NEXT_NODE and NEXT_ATTRIBUTE , in token-based parsing with an XML reader from sXML Library .

The method CURRENT_NODE moves an iteration across an attribute list back to its start.

The method PUSH_BACK first moves an iteration from a value node to the associated opened element and from there to the opened element of the superelement.

The method SKIP_NODE then parses all subnodes up to the closed element of the XML data.

In this example, the demonstration methods process a known XML data structure. A further example
demonstrates the methods without the entire structure of XML data being known in advance.
