Throws:

JSONException - If a string is not properly closed or if the XML is badly structured.

nextToken

public Object nextToken()
                 throws JSONException

Get the next XML Token. These tokens are found inside of angle brackets. It may be one of these characters: / > = ! ? or it may be a string wrapped in single quotes or double quotes, or it may be a name.

a String or a Character.

Throws:

JSONException - If the XML is not well formed.

skipPast
