#include <C_CkXml.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    BOOL success;
    HCkXml xml;

    success = FALSE;

    xml = CkXml_Create();

    success = CkXml_LoadXml(xml,"<abc a=\"123\" b=\"apple\">Test</abc>");

    // The UpdateAttribute and AddOrUpdateAttribute methods
    // are identical.  Both will replace the attribute's value if it
    // already exists, or insert a new attribute if it does not yet exist.

    // Change the value of attribute "b" to "pear".
    success = CkXml_UpdateAttribute(xml,"b","pear");

    // Because no attribute named "c" exists, UpdateAttribute
    // will create it:
    success = CkXml_UpdateAttribute(xml,"c","orange");

    // If an attribute's value is an integer, the AddToAttribute
    // method may be called to update it by adding an integer value.
    // For example, update the value of "a" to "130" by adding 7.
    CkXml_AddToAttribute(xml,"a",7);

    // Examine the result:
    printf("%s\n",CkXml_getXml(xml));


    CkXml_Dispose(xml);
