Depends on your XML data. An ArrayCollection is basically an Array of
Arrays, so... if your XML is complicated and multilayered with lots of
nested tags in nested tags I'm not sure you can easily convert it to an
ArrayCollection. But... if your XML looks something like this:
<person>
<name>John</name>
<name>James</name>
<name>Jude</name>
</person>
<person>
<name>Mark</name>
<name>Luke</name>
<name>Matthew</name>
</person>
Then you might have a chance :-)
