LOCAL oXml
LOCAL nAutoCreate

//  Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or later.
oXml := CreateObject("Chilkat.Xml")

oXml:Tag := "animals"

nAutoCreate := 1

//  When the autoCreate argument equals 1, the UpdateAttrAt
//  method auto-creates the children as needed:
oXml:UpdateAttrAt("penguin", nAutoCreate, "feature", "flightless bird")
oXml:UpdateAttrAt("mammal|rodent|squirrel", nAutoCreate, "feature", "bushy tail")
oXml:UpdateAttrAt("mammal|rodent|rat", nAutoCreate, "feature", "long hairless tail")

//  Show the XML
? oXml:GetXml()

//  	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
//  	<animals>
//  	    <penguin feature="flightless bird" />

//  Now update each node's "feature" attribute..
