Hi guys. I am using XMLWriter from�<a href="http://www.squeaksource.com/XMLWriter">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 class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">	</span>&lt;parent1&gt;</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">		</span>&lt;child1&gt;grrr&lt;child1&gt;</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">		</span>&lt;child2&gt;grrr&lt;child2&gt;</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">	</span>&lt;/parent1&gt;</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">	</span>&lt;parent2&gt;</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">		</span>&lt;child3&gt;buhhh&lt;child3&gt;</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">	</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><div>
xmlWriter write contents.</div></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>
