use strict;
use warnings;
use Chilkat2;

my $xml = Chilkat2::Xml->new;

$xml->Tag('aaa');
$xml->NewChild2('red|green|blue', 'sky');

# Show the XML in normal indented (pretty-printed) format:
print $xml->GetXml(), "\n";

# The output:

#     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
#     <aaa>
#         <red>
#             <green>
#                 <blue>sky</blue>
#             </green>
#         </red>
#     </aaa>

# Now set the EmitCompact property.
$xml->EmitCompact(1);

# Show the XML in compact form:
print $xml->GetXml(), "\n";

# The compact output:

#     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
#     <aaa><red><green><blue>sky</blue></green></red></aaa>
