Flowgorithm flowchart XML Structure

Overview

Flowgorithm flowchart source files are stored as XML documents on the computer. In this tutorial, we will learn the Flowgorithm flowchart XML structure.

Flowchart XML Structure

The basic initial XML structure is as follows:

Flowchart XML Structure

<?xml version=”1.0″?>
<flowgorithm fileversion=”2.11″>
<attributes>
<attribute name=”name” value=””/>
<attribute name=”authors” value=”TestingDocs”/>
<attribute name=”about” value=””/>
<attribute name=”saved” value=”2018-07-27 02:24:48 AM”/>
<attribute name=”created” value=”c3VyaTtERVNLVE9QLU40R0VMSjg7MjAyMi0wNy0yNzswMjoxODo1MyBBTTsyNzgw”/>
<attribute name=”edited” value=”c3VyaTtERVNLVE9QLU40R0VMSjg7MjAyMi0wNy0yNzswMjoyNDo0OCBBTTs0OzI4OTI=”/>
</attributes>
<function name=”Main” type=”None” variable=””>
<parameters/>
<body/>
</function>
</flowgorithm>

The first line is the XML prolog. Prolog contains the XML declaration and may also contain the XML document type definition(DTD). The declaration contains information like version, encoding of the document, etc. This information is useful for processing the XML document.

The flowchart file starts and ends with the <flowgorithm> and </flowgorithm> tags respectively.

The function in the flowchart starts and ends with the <function> and </function> tags. For example, the Main function in the flowchart is:

<function name=”Main” type=”None” variable=””>
<parameters/>
<body/>
</function>
