Detailed Description

Structure mapping an attribute to application specific data. This structure is used to convert data between the XML attributes of an element and the application specific data. Each XML attribute has a type 'value_type' (string, int, boolean). Associated to it is 'dest', a pointer to a pointer pointing to where the application specific data is stored. When converting from tree structure to application specific data, the value of the attribute is converted from its original string format to its 'value_type' (int, boolean. No conversion done for string type). This value is then copied into the application data at '*dest'. If the dest_kind is of kind LXML_Unique then an error is issued if there were already a data (check possible only for string value_type). If the dest_kind is of kind LXML_List, then the value is appended to the list pointed to by *dest When converting from application data to tree structure, then if 'dest' and '*dest' are not NULL, an attribute (or a list of attributes) are created from the values in '*dest' after conversion from their 'value_type' to a string.
