Structured script output for NSE

A feature introduced in Nmap 6 is XML-structured output for NSE. This feature allows NSE scripts to return a structured table of values in the XML tree:

   <script id="test" output="   id: nse   uris:      index.php     test.php">    <elem key="id">nse</elem>    <table key="uris">    <elem>index.php</elem>    <elem>test.php</elem>    </table>    </script> 

However, not all the NSE scripts have been updated to support this feature yet. If you are writing your own scripts, I highly encourage you to learn all the possible ways of supporting XML-structured output.

See Appendix D, Additional Output Options, for other Nmap options related to this task.
