// Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or later.
loXml = createobject("CkXml")

loXml.Tag = "animals"

llAutoCreate = .T.

// When the autoCreate argument equals .T., the UpdateAttrAt
// method auto-creates the children as needed:
loXml.UpdateAttrAt("penguin",llAutoCreate,"feature","flightless bird")
loXml.UpdateAttrAt("mammal|rodent|squirrel",llAutoCreate,"feature","bushy tail")
loXml.UpdateAttrAt("mammal|rodent|rat",llAutoCreate,"feature","long hairless tail")

// Show the XML
? loXml.GetXml()

// 	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// 	<animals>
// 	    <penguin feature="flightless bird" />
// 	    <mammal>
// 	        <rodent>
// 	            <squirrel feature="bushy tail" />
// 	            <rat feature="long hairless tail" />
// 	        </rodent>
// 	    </mammal>
// 	</animals>
// 

// Now update each node's "feature" attribute..
loXml.UpdateAttrAt("penguin",llAutoCreate,"feature","black and white")
loXml.UpdateAttrAt("mammal|rodent|squirrel",llAutoCreate,"feature","grey, red, or black")
loXml.UpdateAttrAt("mammal|rodent|rat",llAutoCreate,"feature","brown, grey, white, or black")
