public class BasicXMLparser
extends java.lang.Object

Parses simple XML into a hierarchy of BasicXMLelement (s). Used instead of SAX because that class is so complex. The right thing to do is probably to subclass SAX or create some simpler utility class that makes using it easier. This class assumes that each XML tag is on its own line and that every attribute value is enclosed in single or double quotes.
