Jaayer, Thanks, I checked out MCHttpRepository location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/XMLSupport' user: '' password: '' and looked at XML-Parser-tg.101 Right version? the class comment of XMLWriter This class allows you to generate well-formed XML documents using an API similar to Seaside's canvas and tag brush API. Markup can be created by sending an instance any of the messages under "writing markup." The messages that take no arguments return an instance of an XMLMarkupWriter subclass. These objects can be configured with messages like #name: and #attributeAt:put:. Sending them #write or a specific writing message that accepts markup to embed within (#content: or #internalSubset: for example) causes the markup writer's configuration to be committed and its markup written to the output stream. For markup writers that can have embedded markup, the argument to the writing message can be a string, collection (of strings and blocks), a block, or nil. The block passed in can optionally take an argument, which will be the XMLWriter object that created the markup writer object. Within the block you can generate additional, child markup that will be contained by the parent. Creating additional non-embedded markup will cause any unwritten markup from a previous markup writer to be written, as will sending an XMLWriter or XMLMarkupWriter #contents, #asString, #printOn:, or #write. Here is an example, which you can highlight and evaluate with cmd-p to see the result: | writer | (writer := XMLWriter new) enablePrettyPrinting. writer xml. writer tag name: 'foo:bar'; xmlnsAt: 'foo' put: 'http://foo'; attributeAt: 'a' put: 'one'; attributeAt: 'b' put: 'two'; content: [ writer tag: 'bar' content: [ writer string: 'test'; tag: 'baz'; tag: 'foobar' content: 'test']] Nice, as I know the Seaside html builder pattern. It is the same. Remark: I think it should be in its own package Instead of XML-Parser-Writers I'd like to have XML-Writer because writing has nothing to do with parsing. However at this point it is minor cosmetics. Another remark: An example using tags like name, author, title would be helpful as well in the class comment because one sees more easily what is going on. For the current problem at hand I have started using WAX and I think I will continue to do so. One reason it that I might want to port my App to Java when finished prototyping in Smalltalk. MCHttpRepository location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/WAX' user: '' password: '' I have not found XMLWriter tests whereas WAX has a considerable number of them. As for XMLWriter, I surely will look at it again in a few months time. Regards Hannes On 11/5/10, jaayer <jaayer@zoho.com> wrote:

Is XMLWriter in the upcoming 1.2 image? It is not in the 1.1 image.

The new XML writer is in the more recent versions, from version 96 on, but at the moment you have to download it manually through Monticello or from the XMLSupport page on squeaksource.com, as the most recent Metacello configuration still points to v. 93. I'll try to update it shortly.
