// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// First build a sample (but incomplete) GovTalkMessage.
// You can replace this code with a call to LoadXml or LoadXmlFile..
// 
// Note: The online tool at https://tools.chilkat.io/xmlCreate.cshtml
// can be used to generate XML code that creates a given XML document.
CkoXml *xml = [[CkoXml alloc] init];
xml.Tag = @"GovTalkMessage";
[xml AddAttribute: @"xmlns" value: @"http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope"];
[xml UpdateAttrAt: @"Body|Message" autoCreate: YES attrName: @"xmlns" attrValue: @"urn:g3.ge:dea:call:SendDocument:v1"];
[xml UpdateChildContent: @"Body|Message" value: @"................"];

// This is the XML created:
// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// <GovTalkMessage xmlns="http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope">
//     <Body>
//         <Message xmlns="urn:g3.ge:dea:call:SendDocument:v1">................</Message>
//     </Body>
// </GovTalkMessage>
