xmlds - Tags used in a Spark XML Data Source Description
Since the SDF format is very unstable -- multiple styles have appeared in the years and a header does not exist to say what kind it is -- a new Data Source module has been invented to read user definitions from an XML file. It is a layer to libxml which takes care of all the necessary stuff. Prerequisite is that you know some HTML/XML/XHTML. Begin the XML file with the <datasource> tag. (Needed to recognize a file.) User object
The <user> tag specifies a user: <user nname="Engelhardt" vname="Jan" xuid="12345" sgroup="11" />
Comments are allowed as XML/HTML allows them. They are filtered out when parsing with libxml. Unknown tags or fields will also be ignored.
