The handle
the xml files using the code, you need an xml parser which loads the
xml file in the memory of your computer. Then the document object model
is used to manipulate the xml document in any way you want. In ASP,
we will be using the Microsoft's XML parser for working with the xml
documents.

The
parser has all the methods, properties, and the events to handle the
xml document in any way you want. All you will doing with the xml document
is to traverse the nodes in it, append, replace, edit, and remove the
elements and the data found in it. All the functions needed for this
to happen are available with the Microsoft's XML Parser.
In ASP,
you can create an instance of the xml parser using the following code:
set xmlDocObj=Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
Then you
can use this object's Load method to load the xml file into it. You
should know that the load method takes the physical path to the xml
file as its argument.
