I would be interested in recommendations about what kind of data structure
is best used in the following situation.
I'm loading in a XML file with a typical recursive structure, then the data
from it should be parsed into a data storage object and this data should be
accessible globally through the application. The XML file has a structure
like this:
<resourceList>
<display type="1">
<displayProperties>
<property name="foo" value="doo"/>
<property name="fee" value="faa"/>
</displayProperties>
<displayObjects>
<object id="1" file="foo/etc/file.xml"/>
<object id="2" file="foo/etc/file2.xml"/>
<object id="3" file="foo/etc/file3.xml"/>
</displayObjects>
<backgrounds>
< backgrounds id="125" file="foo/etc/bg.png"/>
</ backgrounds>
</display>
<data>
<dataTypes>
<property name="foo" value="doo"/>
<property name="fee" value="faa"/>
</dataTypes>
</data>
<etc>
<somethingElse>
<property name="foo" value="doo"/>
</ somethingElse >
</etc>
... The XML is being extended by the time but it retains the shown
hierarchical structure. I want to be able to keep a similar structure in
memory but I don't want to keep it as an XML object. I was thinking about
using a custom object and populate it with HashMaps but then the hierarchy
would be too flat.
I would appreciate it if somebody could give me some suggestions what kind
of data structure is a good choice for this as I don't have much experience
with trees, lists and other more complex structures.
Thanks a lot,
Sascha
