Lua

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>

Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local xml = chilkat.Xml.new()

xml.tag = "abc"

-- Create a new child  with no content
-- and return the newly created child node:
local childNode = xml:new_child("xyz", "")

-- Create a child under childNode, but instead call
-- NewChild2 which doesn't return the newly created child node:
childNode:new_child2("mmm", "123")

print(xml:get_xml())
