  Node Types for XML Files Locate this document in the navigation structure

Below is an overview of node types used in the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) for defining outgoing DME files in the format of XML files:

Node

Use

 ( ) Element

Represents one line of an XML file; can contain a value itself, or it can be used to group elements as subnodes

 ( ) Atom

Used: 1) to output more than one value to a single element, or 2) to control which value is output to an element (based on conditions)

 ( ) Technical node

Element that is not output to a target file; it stores values that are used in other tree nodes (elements, atoms) by a reference to this node

 ( ) XML attribute

Represents a subnode of an element; provides detailed information for an element; can contain atoms as subnodes (for example, to map conditions)
