See more XML Examples

Demonstrates the XML UpdateAttrAt method to update attribute name/value pairs in XML.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or later.

Perl

use chilkat();

# Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or later.
$xml = chilkat::CkXml->new();

$xml->put_Tag("animals");

$autoCreate = 1;

# When the autoCreate argument equals 1, the UpdateAttrAt
# method auto-creates the children as needed:
$xml->UpdateAttrAt("penguin",$autoCreate,"feature","flightless bird");
$xml->UpdateAttrAt("mammal|rodent|squirrel",$autoCreate,"feature","bushy tail");
$xml->UpdateAttrAt("mammal|rodent|rat",$autoCreate,"feature","long hairless tail");

# Show the XML
print $xml->getXml() . "\r\n";

# 	<?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..
$xml->UpdateAttrAt("penguin",$autoCreate,"feature","black and white");
$xml->UpdateAttrAt("mammal|rodent|squirrel",$autoCreate,"feature","grey, red, or black");
$xml->UpdateAttrAt("mammal|rodent|rat",$autoCreate,"feature","brown, grey, white, or black");

print $xml->getXml() . "\r\n";
