Nmap Development: Re: Nmap XML HowTo

Re: Nmap XML HowTo

In my view, the Nmap XML file is more useful for applications in scan
results are required outside of native Nmap, which requires Nmap like
functionalities. For example , you can easily use Nmap to scan a large
network for live hosts (the services and all) and then after saving it
to a XML log, use that XML file in a Python or Ruby or even C#
applications. This is in addition to the inherent advantages of XML
such as "Easy Machine Readability" , Platform indepence which together
makes it a good candidate for using Nmap for a wide variety of
applications.

I hope I am not gone wrong somewhere.

Cheers,
