Using CDATA in XML

See more XML Examples

Demonstrates how to force the content of a node to be encapsulated in CDATA.

The output of the following program is an XML document that looks like this:

<root>
    <year>2009</year>
    <junk1>abc .. &lt; &amp; &gt; 123</junk1>
    <junk2><![CDATA[abc .. < & > 123]]></junk2>
</root>

Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local xml = chilkat.Xml.new()

xml.tag = "root"

local child1 = xml:new_child("year", "2009")

local child2 = xml:new_child("junk1", "abc .. < & > 123")

local child3 = xml:new_child("junk2", "abc .. < & > 123")
child3.cdata = true

print(xml:get_xml())
