I do not need to edit any XML-file or anything, this is only for reading and parsing.

I want to be able to handle the XML-document as a dictionary, like: username = doc["username"];, but I can't find out how to "convert" the document. I've also encountered the problem with duplicate key-names, but that could be easlily avoided by appending each value with 1, 2 etc; making it easy to for-loop through too.

Is this possible? To treat the (parsed) XML-document as a dictionary?


Answer to Mehrdad: It varies from time to time, it depends on the request from the user. If the user requests x, then it will be:

<xml>
    <test>foo</test>
    <bar>123</bar>
    <username>foobar</username>
</xml>

But if he requests y, it will be like

<xml>
    <ammount>1000</ammount>
    <mail>...@...</mail>
    <username>foobar</username>
</xml>

The best would be if this:

<xml>
<mengde>100</mengde>
<type>3</type>
<mail>foo</mail>
<crypt>bar</crypt>
<username>bar</username>
</xml>"

Could be parsed and then accessed as doc["mengde"] etc.
