XMB XML CODING

[Psycho_Coder]

This is going to a reduced version of catogry_network.xml. Xml's are loaded out by using this code.

<View id="root">

You will then see inside of <View id="root"> there will be something like this.

 <Items>

If you look through an ps3 xmb xml file you will see that after Items there will be a bit of query code, That query code will lead to something like this.

#seg_browser

The # Links to the <View id> as you can see above. This will all be in one file same file, It is basically defining. Since it is now linked, It will go ahead and read the <items> Code and link to this.

 <View id="seg_browser">

The whole xml file can be identified by search for:

<View id> and <key>

• <View id="root"> contains 1 <Items> with the key="seg_browser"
• <View id="seg_browser"> contains 1 <Items> with the key="browser"

here is a little example I found online. read through it and try and understand it.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<XMBML version="1.0">
<View id="root">
<Items>
<Query class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap" key="seg_browser" src="#seg_browser" />
</Items>
</View>
<View id="seg_browser">
<Attributes>
<Table key="browser">
<Pair key="icon_rsc"><String>tex_browser</String></Pair>
<Pair key="icon_notation"><String>WNT_XmbItemBrowser</String></Pair>
<Pair key="title_rsc"><String>msg_browser</String></Pair>
</Table>
</Attributes>
<Items>
<Item class="type:x-xmb/xmlwebbrowser" key="browser" attr="browser" />
</Items>
</View>
</XMBML>
