[xml_nodemap]

Description

When working with basic XML documents that do not have complex nested structures, it can sometimes be handy to extract a map of all the node names and their text values. This tag is a shortcut for that. It returns a map of every node that contains at least one non-empty text value.

Sample Usage

[//lasso
	var('data') = string('\

	
	
		
			1
			red
			small
			9.99
		
	
\
	');
	
	xml_nodemap($data);
]

Returns:

map: (Price)=(9.99), (Size)=(small), (Quantity)=(1), (Color)=(red)
