Lua Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64+

XML NewChild2 using a Tag Path

See more XML Examples

Demonstrates the XML NewChild2 method using a tag path. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local xml = chilkat.Xml.new()

xml.tag = "aaa"

-- A single tag can be passed to NewChild2, and this behaves as it always has:
xml:new_child2("penguin", "flightless bird")
xml:new_child2("mammal", "")
print(xml:get_xml())

-- The output:

--     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
--     <aaa>
--         <penguin>flightless bird</penguin>
--         <mammal />
--     </aaa>
--
-- A tag path can be used.
-- It will cause nodes to be automatically created as needed.
xml:new_child2("red|green|blue", "sky")
xml:new_child2("mammal|rodent|squirrel", "bushy tail")
print(xml:get_xml())

-- The output:

--     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
--     <aaa>
--         <penguin>flightless bird</penguin>
--         <mammal>
--             <rodent>
--                 <squirrel>bushy tail</squirrel>
--             </rodent>
--         </mammal>
--         <red>
--             <green>
--                 <blue>sky</blue>
--             </green>
--         </red>
--     </aaa>
