Note:
Use '#content' as the key to get content from tags (like <tag ...> content </tag>), e.g. dict := xmpDict.GetDictionary('#content', false);
Use '#text' as the key to get the values from a tag list, e.g. memo1.lines.add( dict.GetString( '#text', false ));


Examples

// Dump dictionary content as XML
var
  dict: TIEDictionary;
begin
  dict := TIEDictionary.Create();
  dict.Insert('doublekey', 10.1);
  dict.Insert('integerkey', 100);
  dict.Insert('stringkey', 'hello');
  dict.Insert('bool_true', true);
  dict.Insert('bool_false', false);
  dict.Insert('dict', TIEDictionary.Create());
    dict.GetDictionary('dict').Insert('one', 1);
    dict.GetDictionary('dict').Insert('two', 'two');
  dict.Insert('list', TObjectList.Create());
    dict.GetList('list').Add( TIEDictionaryValueWideString.Create('mike') );
    dict.GetList('list').Add( TIEDictionaryValueWideString.Create('robert') );
    dict.GetList('list').Add( TIEDictionaryValueWideString.Create('john') );
    dict.GetList('list').Add( TIEDictionaryValueInteger.Create(2013) );

  memo1.Text := dict.Dump(ieplXML);

  dict.free;
end;


// Dump the structure of the dictionary
var
  ss : TStringList;
  dict: TIEDictionary;
begin
  ss := TStringList.Create;
  dict := TIEDictionary.Create();
  ss.LoadFromFile('d:\XML_TEST.xml');
  dict.parse( ss.Text );

  // Dump structure
  memo1.Text := dict.Dump(ieplStructure);

  dict.free;
  ss.Free;
end;


// Parse all DictionaryEntries from XML file
// Download file from: www.imageen.com/files/UnitTestFiles/XML_TEST.xml
{
SAMPLE:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

     <Entry>add</Entry>
     <Entry>ancestor</Entry>
     <Entry>anchor</Entry>
     <Entry>begin</Entry>
     ...


OUTPUT:

  for i := 0 to list.Count - 1 do
  begin
    navDict := TIEDictionary(list[i]).GetDictionary('#content', false);
    memo1.lines.add( navDict.GetString('#text', false) );
  end;

  xmlDict.free;
  ss.Free;
end;


// Save a PNG file as a lossless WebP with lossless compression (using ImageMagick plug-in)
var
  imDict: TIEDictionary
begin
  ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromFile( 'D:\Image.png' );
  imDict := TIEDictionary.Create();
  imDict.Insert( 'webp:lossless', true );

  ImageEnView1.IO.Params.Dict.Insert( 'ImageMagick', imDict );
  ImageEnView1.IO.SaveToFile( 'D:\Image_out.webp' );
end;

// List items in "ImageMagick" dictionary
var
  dict: TIEDictionary;
  curr: TIEStrStrEnumerator;
  key, val: String;
begin
  dict := TIEDictionary( ImageEnView1.IO.Params.Dict.Get( 'ImageMagick', True, False ));
  if dict = nil then
    exit;
