ownlyme commented 1 year ago

when i parse multiple xml files, the additional files seem to get added to the same table and there doesn't seem to be a way to clear the results

the trick is 

handler = handler:new()

edit example3.lua, add these lines at end to see the example:

print("\nUsing New handler instance")
handler = handler:new()
parser = xml2lua.parser(handler)
parser:parse(xml)
xml2lua.printable(handler.root)
