LuaXml to parse xml with nodes having similar names

[Shital Patil <shital.patil@...>]

Hi,

I am fairly new to Lua and trying to parse xmls with LuaXml

My xml  is like -

<users>

     <user>

           <id>1</id>

           <name> abc </name>

     </user>

      <user>

           <id>2</id>

           <name> xyz </name>

     </user>

</users>

 Say I want to list
 1)id of specific user 

 2)ids for all users

I performed-


local xfile = xml.load("UserXml.xml")

local users = xfile:find("user")

but table which is returned, consists value for first user only

I went through answer at -

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17707777/luaxml-parse-the-xml-with-multiple-tags-with-the-same-name

but this looks much heavy in real time situations and as complex as performing string matching on xml file

Could you please suggest a simpler and efficient way to achieve this using LuaXml?
