RE: [xml-dev] Xerces, XML Parsers and support for creating Documents.

["Dare Obasanjo" <dareo@microsoft.com>]

If you were using the .NET Framework classes(also available on FreeBSD)
you would be able to utilize this functionality with ease. 

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;

public class Sample
{
  public static void Main()
  {
    //Create the XmlDocument.
    XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
    doc.LoadXml("<book genre='novel' ISBN='1-861001-57-5'>" +
                "<title>Pride And Prejudice</title>" +
                "</book>");

    //Save the document to a file.
    doc.Save("data.xml");
  }
}

which seems a lot less cumbersome than the code you just showed. You can
obtain the .NET Framework 
SDK at

or the shared source CLI implementation at
