Reading multiple XML tags with identical field tag titles

Question

Brand new at trying to program XML. I am trying to program an XML file for one piece of software that has to read another XML across my network. The data that is being "read" is sports scores. I can program the XML to read the first games data set just fine. But I do not know how to program the XML to read the subsequent games data because all of the field tags in all of the games have the same title.

Answer 1

You would want to do something like nesting the scores of each game in their own tag. Here's an example:

<scores>

<games>

<game name="game1">

<home_score>10</home_score>

<away_score>15</away_score>

</game>

<game name="game2">

<home_score>1</home_score>

<away_score>5</away_score>

</game>

<game name="game3">

<home_score>12</home_score>

<away_score>18</away_score>

</game>

</games>

</scores>
