begin
// Build the 1st XML document:
// <x1>
//     <a1>1</a1>
//     <a2>2</a2>
//     <a3>3</a3>
// </x1>

xml := CkXml_Create();
CkXml_putTag(xml,'x1');
CkXml_UpdateChildContent(xml,'a1','1');
CkXml_UpdateChildContent(xml,'a2','2');
CkXml_UpdateChildContent(xml,'a3','3');

// Build a 2nd XML document:

// <x2>
//   <b1>11</b1>
//   <b2>22</b2>
//   <b3>33</b3>
// </x2>

CkXml_UpdateChildContent(xml2,'b3','33');

// We want to insert xml2 into xml to get this:

// <x1>
//     <a1>1</a1>
//     <x2>
//         <b1>11</b1>
//         <b2>22</b2>
//         <b3>33</b3>
//     </x2>
//     <a2>2</a2>
//     <a3>3</a3>
// </x1>

// Insert xml2 after "a1"

index := CkXml_TagIndex(xml,'a1');
if (index < 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add('a1 not found.');
    Exit;
  end;

CkXml_InsertChildTreeAfter(xml,index,xml2);

Memo1.Lines.Add(CkXml__getXml(xml));

// The result is:

// <x1>
//     <a1>1</a1>
//     <x2>
//         <b1>11</b1>
//         <b2>22</b2>
//         <b3>33</b3>
//     </x2>
//     <a2>2</a2>
//     <a3>3</a3>
// </x1>

// Note: xml2 now points to the subtree within xml.
// For example, update "b3" and then see how it's updated within the merged document:
CkXml_UpdateChildContent(xml2,'b3','33333333');

Memo1.Lines.Add(CkXml__getXml(xml));

// The result:

// <x1>
//     <a1>1</a1>
//     <x2>
//         <b1>11</b1>
//         <b2>22</b2>
//         <b3>33333333</b3>
//     </x2>
//     <a2>2</a2>
//     <a3>3</a3>
// </x1>
