Remarks

Syntax 1: Browsing the elements of XML file on a level

This syntax is used to browse the children of current level. Inside the loop, the xmlReader variable points to the current XML element.

You have the ability to nest browses on the xmlReader variable in order to browse the children of element on the level currently browsed.

Syntax 2: Browse on a level with copy

This syntax is used to browse the children of current level. Inside the loop, <Element> points to the current XML element and it is possible to use it to perform another browse on its own children.

Remark: A single browse can be performed on the <Element> variable.

Syntax 3: Browse in depth

This syntax is used to browse the XML treeview in depth, which means the child, then the grandchild, ... until a leaf is reached. When the leaf is reached, the loop goes to the next child.
