Low-level class for creating parsers for [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML]XML[/url] files.
</brief_description>
<description>
This class can serve as base to make custom XML parsers. Since XML is a very flexible standard, this interface is low-level so it can be applied to any possible schema.

</description>
</method>
<method name="skip_section">
<return type="void">
</return>
<description>
Skips the current section. If the node contains other elements, they will be ignored and the cursor will go to the closing of the current element.
</description>
