kotlinlang

I'm having trouble parsing XML using Woodstox on kotlin, I'm following a java tutorial ( <https://www.baeldung.com/java-stax> ) that otherwise seems to work but trying to read the actual values inside XML tags like:
```val something = nextEvent.asCharacters().data```
fails with an exception:
`Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: com.ctc.wstx.evt.CompactStartElement cannot be cast to javax.xml.stream.events.Characters`
If I check the even with isCharacters it returns false even though it most definitely contains a value. How do I get that value?

not sure how is this kotlin related. but I assume you are still in startElement and not in "body" element

thanks, that works, I didn't expect the tutorial to be wrong
