WriteXML procedure

Declaration

procedure WriteXML(Element: TDOMNode; const AFileName: string)
 ; overload

Description

WriteXML is an overloaded procedure used to write a DOM Node to a file, text file, or stream. WriteXML calls one of the overloaded WriteXMLFile routines for a specific destination.

Element is a TDOMNode parameter that represents the DOM Document Node with the XML content written in the method. WriteXML ensures that Element is cast to a TXMLDocument type when calling the WriteXMLFile routine.

AFileName indicates the file name on the local file system where the XML content is stored. AFileName can contain UTF-8 encoded values, and must represent a valid file name. If the file in AFileName already exists, an exception will be raised.

Flags contains values from the TXMLWriterFlag enumeration. Use Flags to enable XML writing options in the routine. The default value for the argument is an empty set ([]), and indicates that no options are enabled in the routine. Please note that use of TXMLWriterFlag options like xwfAllowNullCharsInAttributeValue and xwfSpecialCharsInAttributeValue can result in an XML document that cannot be handled by a validating XML processor. The ReadXMLFile routine in LazUtils will accept and handle the values.
