# The following two functions are for reading generic XML files into
# the property tree and for writing them from there to the disk. The
# built-in fgcommands (load, save, loadxml, savexml) are for FlightGear's
# own <PropertyList> XML files only, as they only handle a limited
# number of very specific attributes. The io.readxml() loader turns
# attributes into regular children with a configurable prefix prepended
# to their name, while io.writexml() turns such nodes back into
# attributes. The two functions have their own limitations, but can
# easily get extended to whichever needs. The underlying parsexml()
# command will handle any XML file.

# Reads an XML file from an absolute path and returns it as property
# tree. All nodes will be of type STRING. Data are only written to
# leafs. Attributes are written as regular nodes with the optional
# prefix prepended to the name. If the prefix is nil, then attributes
# are ignored. Returns nil on error.
