XML from tables...

Solar2D Lua Language

Hi Guys,

I have to deal with WRITING some XML files.  Reading from JSON/CSV is fine and sorted and File IO isn’t the issue.  Trying to find a suitable library function that works with Corona to create XML, ideally from a Corona Table…

Any ideas?

You want to Create XML from table, or parse it from an XML source?

I gather you want to convert a table like json.encode?

This looks interesting as a “pure” Lua possibility. Even includes a handy PDF.

Thanks so much for your googlefu.   I had done a lot of looking and found several versions of the LuaXML libraries and many other options  but the others were not pure LUA.

Yes, unfortunately I need to create XML from data in a table.  Will give this a ago today.

Appreciate the help.

I found quite a few parsers, but yeah this was the only “pure” Lua one that would encode. But man, XML, I’m so sorry. ;p
