As we all know that XML is one of the best methods to send or receive files over the internet. And to provide us support for parsing and creating XML files. In one of my previous blogs I have taught you how to parse XML files in apex. However in this example I\u2019ll show you how we can generate XML file in apex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
APEX Code<\/h3><\/div>
\n
The Apex code to create an XML file is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have used a class DOM.Document which is used to create XML files. Next we create a new root node which will be held by a variable called \u2018products\u2019. This will be used to create child nodes and attributes of the root node. Next we will create child nodes, the value returned for these nodes could be held by the individual nodes if we want to create more sub nodes, like I have kept the value saved, so that text nodes could be added to these nodes. For every addChildElement() function there are three values, the name of the node, the namespace add the prefix for the node. I have kept the last two values as null, you can add it according to your need. Once it is done, the toXMLString() function returns the corresponding string of the XML file. Save it, and show it in a VF page, like I have done.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
