首先，您的示例 XML 无效。要么您提供了两个单独的示例，要么您缺少周围的父标签。
我假设了第二个并将您的示例包装在 <tables></tables> 标记中。
所以现在基于这个...
<tables>
<table index="1" title=" Final year marks of BIT students" ref="BIT results">
<headings>
<heading>Semester1</heading>
<heading>Semester2</heading>
<heading>Semester3</heading>
<heading>Semester4</heading>
<heading>Grade</heading>
<heading>FYP</heading>
</headings>
<tablebody>
