The top level elements of an SCVD file are:
- <component_viewer> — the root element enclosing all other elements
- <component> — defines the component for which the viewer is created
- <typedefs> — definitions for data types and structures of the software component.
- <objects> — defines the data collection and the output for software component objects.
- <events> — defines the output for events (system and thread information).
