### Load Callbacks
|

|
||||
The `load_xxx` arguments to the `mxmlLoad` functions are a callback function and
|
||||
a data pointer which are used to determine the value type of each data node in
|
||||
an XML document. The default (`NULL`) callback expects the `load_cbdata`
|
||||
argument to be a pointer to a `mxml_type_t` variable - if `NULL` it returns the
|
||||
`MXML_TYPE_TEXT` type.
