(Node.js) Update an XML Attribute

Demonstrates how to update XML attributes.

The output XML is this:

<abc b="pear" c="orange" a="130">Test</abc>

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOS

var os = require('os');
if (os.platform() == 'win32') {  
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-win64'); 
} else if (os.platform() == 'linux') {
    if (os.arch() == 'arm') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-arm');
    } else if (os.arch() == 'arm64') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-arm64');
    } else {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-x64');
    }
} else if (os.platform() == 'darwin') {
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-mac-universal');
}

function chilkatExample() {

    var xml = new chilkat.Xml();

    var success = xml.LoadXml("<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 = xml.UpdateAttribute("b","pear");

    // Because no attribute named "c" exists, UpdateAttribute
    // will create it:
    success = xml.UpdateAttribute("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.
    xml.AddToAttribute("a",7);

    // Examine the result:
    console.log(xml.GetXml());
