StAX Functions
The following functions are built in to xmlsh, but need to be imported. They are not imported by default because of possible name collisions using these functions with no prefix.
These functions provide a scripting interface to the StAX streaming XML API.
Importing
To use the StAX commands you need to import them into either the global namespace or a local namespace.Its recommended that you use a local namespace so that there is less chance of name collisions.
To import into the stax namespace prefix
import commands stax=stax
To import into the global namespace
import commands stax
