BACKGROUND

I am coding an app which is suppose to bypass an old OCR. I am loading XML data from a database based on a unique ID which upon being added to a URL template creates a unique page in a browser and displays the XML data there. The XML string is pretty leanghty and usually consists of 60 – 200 records/attributes (originaly attributes from different database sources) such as name, surname, adress, gender etc.. it represents one person always. There is not much to be done about this mechanism so I have to work around it. These XMLs get generated based on a template. We have around 15 templates making 15 different XMLs.

THE ISSUE(S)

In order to finish my work I need to load all the data in said XML to a list of strings. Meaning I need a list where each “item” represents 1 records from the original XML.
Secondly I would need another list which will have the coresponding attributes of the XML put into it in a same fashion as the first list.

Example:

LIST1:

-John

-Doe

-25

-M

LIST2:

-Name

-Surname

-Age

-Gender
