PowerBuilder

integer li_rc
oleobject loo_Xml

// Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or later.
loo_Xml = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Xml.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Xml")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Xml
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

loo_Xml.Tag = "aaa"

// A single tag can be passed to NewChild2, and this behaves as it always has:
loo_Xml.NewChild2("penguin","flightless bird")
loo_Xml.NewChild2("mammal","")
Write-Debug loo_Xml.GetXml()

// The output:

// 	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// 	<aaa>
// 	    <penguin>flightless bird</penguin>
// 	    <mammal />
// 	</aaa>
// 
// Starting in v9.5.0.64, a tag path can be used.
// It will cause nodes to be automatically created as needed.
loo_Xml.NewChild2("red|green|blue","sky")
loo_Xml.NewChild2("mammal|rodent|squirrel","bushy tail")
Write-Debug loo_Xml.GetXml()

// The output:

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