method fromXML

This method creates the dictionary pairs from a XML UTF-8 encoding that was returned from toXML. All pairs are removed from the dictionary first.

var dictObj = shell.serviceManager.basics.dictionary;
dictObj.setValueForKey("Hello World", "name");
dictObj.setValueForKey(false, "isVisible");

var users = shell.serviceManager.basics.array;
users.addValue("john");
users.addValue("tom");

dictObj.setValueForKey(users, "users");
dictObj.setValueForKey(400, "width");

var xmlStream = shell.serviceManager.basics.memoryStream;
dictObj.toXML(xmlStream);

/*The resulting XML in the stream will look like this:
<dictionary>
  <string key="name">Hello World</string>
  <bool key="isVisible">false</bool>
  <compound key="users">
    <array>
        <string>john</string>
        <string>tom</string>
    </array>
  </compound>
  <int32 key="width">400</int32>
</dictionary>
*/

dictObj.fromXML(xmlStream);
xmlStream.close();
/*fromXML will remove all the elements first.
The result key/value pair of the dictionary is the following:
name      - Hello World
isVisible - 0
users     - john
          - tom
width     - 400
