Perl

Creating a New Child Node

See more XML Examples

Demonstrates how to create a new child in an XML document.

The following XML sample code produces this output:

<abc>
    <xyz>
        <mmm>123</mmm>
    </xyz>
</abc>

Chilkat2 Perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Chilkat2;

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

$xml->Tag('abc');

# Create a new child  with no content
# and return the newly created child node:
my $childNode = $xml->NewChild('xyz', '');

# Create a child under childNode, but instead call
# NewChild2 which doesn't return the newly created child node:
$childNode->NewChild2('mmm', '123');

print $xml->GetXml(), "\n";
