• XML is a portable, open source language that allows programmers to develop applications that can be read by other applications
• In Groovy we can build XML documents via groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder

---

we can also parse and display XML document by xmlParser:

import groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder 
import groovy.util.*

class Example {

   static void main(String[] args) { 

      def parser = new XmlParser()
      def doc = parser.parse("D:\\Movies.xml");

      doc.movie.each{
         bk->
         print("Movie Name:")
         println "${bk['@title']}"

         print("Movie Type:")
         println "${bk.type[0].text()}"

         print("Movie Format:")
         println "${bk.format[0].text()}"

         print("Movie year:")
         println "${bk.year[0].text()}"

         print("Movie rating:")
         println "${bk.rating[0].text()}"

         print("Movie stars:")
         println "${bk.stars[0].text()}"

         print("Movie description:")
         println "${bk.description[0].text()}"
         println("*******************************")
      }
   }
} 

we get :
