## Class XMLDB

- java.lang.Object
- - tigase.xml.db.XMLDB

-     public class XMLDB
      extends Object

  `XMLDB` is the main database access class. It allows you to create new database in given file, open database from given file, add, delete and retrieve data and data lists. All data or data lists are stored in database nodes. There are three possible kinds of nodes for each database:
  1. root node - this is top node in each XML hierachy tree. There can be only one root node in database as there can be only one root element in XML file. The element name for root node can be defined by the user when new database is created or defualt element name '`root`' is used.
  2. node1 nodes - these are the first level nodes under root node. There can be any number of nodes on this level. All data added for this database are added to first level node unless subnode path is given. User can define element name of node1 when new database is created. If not given default element name '`node`' is used.
  3. subnodes - node on any deeper level under node1 level. There can be any number of subnodes on any level. Subnodes have always '`node`' element name and this can't be changed.

  All node1 nodes and subnodes can contains any number of data associated with keys. With some keys there ca be more than one value assigned. Such kind of data are called data lists.
  Although element name for subnode can not be defined it is actually not important. Because user database doesn't use subnode element names. He doesn't even use neiher root node element name nor node1 element name. database user uses node name what is quite different from node element name. Let see example below:

      <node name='roster'/>

  In this example node element name is node and node name is roster.
  database users (actually developers) use only node names.
  If you want to access subnode on some level you need to give full path to this subnode. For example, let's assume we have following database:

        <node name='tigase'>
       <node name='server'>
       </node>
       <node name='xmpp'>
       </node>
       </node>

  If you need to access '`server`' subnode you need to call method with '`/tigase/server`' as subnode path and for subnode '`xmpp`' proper subnode path is of course '`/tigase/xmpp`'. If you skip subnode path or give `null` as a parameter you will be accessing data on node1 level. You can not access or save data on root node level.
