Json support
DataMaker_Xml_Json.unityPackage
ArrayMaker is provided in this package. It features an xml extension to parse xml and json for convenience.
Xml Usage
Basically, you can reference, a file in your assets, or define your xml as a string. You can host your xml in a convenient xml proxy component, or directly within actions.
to reference an xml content in a proxy, drop the component "DataMakerXmlProxy" onto a gameObject, xml actions can point to that component to get the xml from. AND xml actions can write back the results of the action to these components.
You can also save in memory during runtime, by simply referencing them with a unique string. Note: when you save in memory, the xml content is still available when you stop playing, it's very convenient to srudy xml content in your actions if something went wrong or if you want to know exactly what it's in there.
Video tutorials
Samples ( coming soon)
Two samples are provided currently ( more will come in, based on requests and future work). You should study these examples to learn xPath queries and how actions are combined together.
DataMakerXmlBooks: Your typical xml based example, to understand how to query a listing of books to get to the data you are interested in.
Sequencer: that's a nifty little demo that allows you to define a sequence of actions, in xml!
For any help, trouble, questions, comments, critics, you can use the forum and mention "dataMaker xml" in the thread title.
