Multiple parse calls clutter the handler.root - how to avoid?

[cdebackere]

I am using your library and it's working well for 1 parse call

I added the function converting the xml string to lua table for that purpose:

function xmlToLua(xml)
	--Process XML for additional ID (only 1 XML here)
	local handler = require('xmlhandler.tree')
	local parser = xml2lua.parser(handler)
	parser:parse(xml)
	return handler.root
end

now, when I do a second call to that function, the first parsed data is still in the handler root, even if declared local

I tried to add something like
handler.root={}
or

--clean up root for next parse
	for a,b in pairs(handler.root) do
		table.remove(handler.root,a)
	end

but parsing then fails

How to use your library to parse repetitive xml strings to lua table, but without 'historic data' of previous parses?

Thx,
Christof

sorry, just found the solution is a rvious post/issue : using
handler=handler:new()
