Class RMXMLReader

java.lang.Object
  com.reportmill.datasource.RMXMLReader

public class RMXMLReader
extends java.lang.Object

This class tries to load an XML file as a plist. A plist is made up of simple types (String, Number, Date) and just two complex types (List/Map). This makes the loaded data much less ambigous than standard XML datastructures. This code hopes to find a tag that better describes the form of the plist.
