XML tutorial for FreeSWITCH - Omid-Mohajerani/freeswitch GitHub Wiki
FreeSWITCH understands its configuration in terms of an all-encompassing XML tree. That XML tree is continuously searched and queried, as long as FreeSWITCH is running. Each time the FreeSWITCH core, or one of the modules, needs whatever information from the configuration, they ask (again and again) for that specific snippet of configuration.
