import chilkat2

# Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or later.
xml = chilkat2.Xml()

xml.Tag = "aaa"

# A single tag can be passed to NewChild2, and this behaves as it always has:
xml.NewChild2("penguin","flightless bird")
xml.NewChild2("mammal","")
print(xml.GetXml())

# The output:

# 	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
# 	<aaa>
# 	    <penguin>flightless bird</penguin>
# 	    <mammal />
# 	</aaa>
# 
# Starting in v9.5.0.64, a tag path can be used.
# It will cause nodes to be automatically created as needed.
xml.NewChild2("red|green|blue","sky")
xml.NewChild2("mammal|rodent|squirrel","bushy tail")
print(xml.GetXml())

# The output:

# 	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
# 	<aaa>
# 	    <penguin>flightless bird</penguin>
# 	    <mammal>
# 	        <rodent>
# 	            <squirrel>bushy tail</squirrel>
# 	        </rodent>
# 	    </mammal>
