View XML file in Tree View widget - worth the effort?

[Keith Clarke]

Partial success with that resource, downloading it into a local script-only library stack...
put ConvertXMLToArray (tXML, "utf8") into tArrayXML

set the arrayData of widget 1 of this stack to tArrayXML


...successfully parses the XML nodes into array keys that get rendered into the TreeView widget - and I can set the third parameter to force ‘@value’ keys.

Unfortunately, there are no values being displayed in the TreeView - with or without ‘@value’ keys being forced on. 

I don’t think they’re being created in the array from a couple of quick tests and attempting to recreate the XML using…
put ConvertArrayToXML(tArrayXML)

…returns just a number

Any ideas gratefully received, meanwhile I’ll look for alternative resources, as this one (6 years old) may not be compatible with LiveCode 9.x...?
Best,
Keith
