You need to be checking the type of the entity before you call
either name or text on it, because not all entities have a
name, and not all entities have text - e.g. <field name="id">
is an EntityType.elementStart, so it has a name (which is
"field"), but it doesn't have text, whereas the 01001001
between the <field name="id"> and </field> tags has no name but
does have text, because it's an EntityType.text. If you call
name or text without verifying the type first, then you're
almost certainly going to get an assertion failure at some
point (assuming that you don't compile with -release anyway),
since you're bound to end up with an entity that you don't
expect at some point (either because you were wrong about where
you were in the document, or because the document didn't match
the layout that was expected).

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I have had another xml Bible version text in the past [1]. It had
a different format. And Adam Ruppe helped me by writing code that
worked (with just one tweak). I think I want another example that
I can just paste into my program, using the same structs as the
last xml version (see link).
