[Lazarus] Read/write records from/to XML

[Anthony Walter]

Have you considered xpath? It's a core feature of all xml engines (msxml,
libxml2, whatever else).

Syntax overview:

In my wrapper would look like this:

Person := Document.FindNode('//Person[@Index = "0001"]');

Other examples

// All persons in a city that start with the letter A
  Document.FindNodes('//Person[starts-with(City, "A")]');
// Or to processing save time, select the Persons node
  People := Document.FindNode('//Persons');
// And now xpath is evaluated relative to that
  People.FindNode('Person[Name = "Jan"]');

And so on
