Thank you all guys. Indeed, it was quite possible to manually build the DOM.<div>I was confused because the package was called &quot;XML<b>Parser</b>&quot;. I could see the nodes and all the DOM but I didn&#39;t expected these classes would understand &quot;writing behavior&quot; like #named: , #add: etc... but yes, they do understand so you can manually build the DOM and when you are done you can just get the resulting string.�</div>

Hi guys. I am using XMLWriter from�<a href="http://www.squeaksource.com/XMLWriter" target="_blank">http://www.squeaksource.com/XMLWriter</a> to write a specific XML that a protocol expects.<div>What I need is to build the XML file from parent to children and dynamically. For example, I want to be able to define a tag, but then, later on, add more tags to a parent element.�</div>

<div>I found this impossible to do with the current XMLWriter. Here, �messages like #tag:with: , #with: �do not help.</div><div>I know I will need to build everything in memory and send a &quot;write contents&quot; at the end to get the final XML string...</div>

<div><br></div><div>For example, say I wanna build this XML:</div><div><br></div><div><div>&lt;root&gt;</div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">	</span>&lt;parent1&gt;</div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">		</span>&lt;child1&gt;grrr&lt;child1&gt;</div>

<div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">		</span>&lt;child2&gt;grrr&lt;child2&gt;</div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">	</span>&lt;/parent1&gt;</div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">	</span>&lt;parent2&gt;</div>

<div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">		</span>&lt;child3&gt;buhhh&lt;child3&gt;</div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">	</span>&lt;/parent2&gt;</div><div>&lt;/root&gt;</div><div>
<br></div><div>i would like an API like this:</div><div><br></div><div><div>| xmlWriter |</div><div>xmlWriter := XMLWriter new.�</div><div>xmlWriter tag: &#39;root&#39;.</div><div>(xmlWriter named: &#39;root&#39;) tag: &#39;parent1&#39;.</div>

<div>(xmlWriter named: &#39;parent1&#39;) tag: &#39;child&#39; with: &#39;grrr&#39;.</div><div>(xmlWriter named: &#39;root&#39;) tag: &#39;parent2&#39;.</div></div><div>....</div><div>xmlWriter write contents.</div><div>
<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>Or even if I don&#39;t have #named: �but I can store them in instVars it would be fine:</div><div><br></div><div><div>| xmlWriter rootTag parent1Tag |</div><div>xmlWriter := XMLWriter new.�</div>

<div>rootTag xmlWriter tag: &#39;root&#39;.</div><div>parent1Tag rootTag tag: &#39;parent1&#39;.</div><div>parent1Tag tag: &#39;child&#39; with: &#39;grrr&#39;.</div><div>rootTag tag: &#39;parent2&#39;</div></div><div>
xmlWriter write contents.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Any ideas how to do this?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,�</div><div><br></div>-- <br>Mariano<br><a href="http://marianopeck.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">http://marianopeck.wordpress.com</a><br>
