Visual FoxPro

LOCAL loXml

* Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or later.
loXml = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xml')

loXml.Tag = "aaa"

* A single tag can be passed to NewChild2, and this behaves as it always has:
loXml.NewChild2("penguin","flightless bird")
loXml.NewChild2("mammal","")
? loXml.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.
loXml.NewChild2("red|green|blue","sky")
loXml.NewChild2("mammal|rodent|squirrel","bushy tail")
? loXml.GetXml()

* The output:

* 	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
* 	<aaa>
* 	    <penguin>flightless bird</penguin>
* 	    <mammal>
* 	        <rodent>
* 	            <squirrel>bushy tail</squirrel>
* 	        </rodent>
* 	    </mammal>
* 	    <red>
* 	        <green>
* 	            <blue>sky</blue>
* 	        </green>
* 	    </red>
* 	</aaa>
