XML
===

[](#xml)

XML reader with a SimpleXML like API. Used internally by other arbit sub-projects. Should probably not used anywhere else.

Building / Testing
------------------

[](#building--testing)

To build the project just type:

```
git submodule init
git submodule update
ant
```

The first two commands are only needed when building for the first time. The `ant` command should run the tests and all verifications.
