A very basic XML parser that can be used to parse D-Bus XML introspection data for services. The returned Doc object only provides the APIs necessary to extract the child tags from the document object.
Parameters:

- all_text bool If true it preserves all whitespace otherwise only text containing non-whitespace is included. Default value is false.
Returns:
-
table
A Doc object with a method to retrieve the document tags.
Doc
- childtags ()
-
Returns the child tags of the XML document.
The returned child tags themselves are XML (Doc) documents that can themselves be queried for child tags.
Returns:
-
table
An array of child tags which are themselves documents.
