Howto:Create animation XML files from Nasal

This article is a stub. You can help the wiki by expanding it.

Objective: Use Nasal scripting to dynamically create an XML file by using the setprop() API call to set up your XML file's PropertyList-encoded structure and then writing the result to the file system using the write_properties() wrapper.

Getting started

The following piece of Nasal creates a new XML file:

 var location= "/temp/test/foo";
 var filename="test.xml";
 setprop(location, "hello world");
 write_properties(filename, location);

The created output is:

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
 <PropertyList>
  <temp>
   <test>
    <foo>hello world</foo>
   </test>
  </temp>
