XMLDocument class

XMLDocument class allows to manipulate XML data via DOM.

XMLDocument is a thin wrapper around MSXML in Ax3 and around System.XML .NET framework namespace in Ax4, so use cross refereneces and MSDN to learn about DOM and other stuff.

Example:

<xpp> static void Test_XML(Args _args) {

   str xml = @'
       <tests>
           <test>
               <testnumber>1</testnumber>
               <testname>bla bla</testname>
           </test>
          <test>
               <testnumber>3</testnumber>
               <testname>asdf</testname>
          </test>
       </tests>
   ';
   XMlDocument doc=XMLDocument::newXML(xml);
   XMLNodeList tests = doc.selectNodes('//test');
   XMLNode node;

   node = tests.nextNode();
   while (node)
   {
       info(node.selectSingleNode('testnumber').text());
       info(node.selectSingleNode('testname').text());
       node = tests.nextNode();
   }

} </xpp>

Create a XML Document

You can create you own XML Documents by hand with the XML* Classes. This code creates a XML File with an XML Root element. It has one child element FOO with an attribute BAR. The attributes values is 123. Finally it is stored on C: in file test.xml. <xpp> XMLNode root; XMLElement node; XMLAttribute attr; XMLDocument doc = XMLDOcument::newBlank();

root = doc.createElement("xml"); doc.appendChild(root);

node = doc.createElement("foo"); node.setAttribute("bar","123"); root.appendChild(node);

doc.save("C:/test.xml"); </xpp> The result looks like <xpp> <xml>

  <foo bar="123"/>

</xml> </xpp>
