XML Factory

About

XMl Factory is a simple XMl writer that uses dict syntax to write files.

Example

# Create a root tag
factory = XmlFactory('root')
'''
<root>
</root>
'''

# Add elements using dict syntax
factory['elements/alpha'] = 'Alpha'
'''
<root>
  <elements>
    <alpha>Alpha</alpha>
  </elements>
</root>
'''

# Set tag fields using @
factory['elements@coding'] = 'utf8'
'''
<root>
  <elements coding="utf8">
    <alpha>Alpha</alpha>
  </elements>
</root>
'''

# Values can be overridden by using the same path twice
factory['elements/alpha'] = 'Overridden Alpha'
'''
<root>
  <elements coding="utf8">
    <alpha>Overridden Alpha</alpha>
  </elements>
</root>
'''

# New values can be added to a same path by ending a string with '+'
factory['elements/alpha+'] = 'New Alpha'
'''
<root>
  <elements coding="utf8">
    <alpha>Overridden Alpha</alpha>
    <alpha>New Alpha</alpha>
  </elements>
</root>
'''
