converting XML to hash/dict/CustomTreeCtrl

[Astan Chee]

Hi,
I have xml files that I want to convert to a hash/dict and then further
placed in a wx CustomTreeCtrl based on the structure. The problem I am
having now is that the XML file is very unusual and there aren't any
unique identifiers to be put in a dict and because there are no unique
variables, finding the value of it from a CustromTreeCtrl is abit tricky.
I would appreciate any help or links to projects similar to this.
Thanks

The XML file looks something like this:

What part of the structure and what information are you interested in? That
will determine the key that you should use. Maybe storing more than one
field as key is an option.
