Create & Save an XML file using ASP

Create and Save an XML FileStoring data in XML files is useful if the data is to be sent to applications on non-Windows platforms. Remember that XML is portable across all platforms and the data will not need to be converted!
First we will learn how to create and save an XML file. The XML file below will be named "test.xml" and will be stored in the c directory on the server. We will use ASP and Microsoft's XMLDOM object to create and save the XML file:

'ASP CODE STARTS NOW
Dim xmlDoc, rootEl, child1, child2, p'Create an XML document
Set xmlDoc = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")'Create a root element and append it to the document
Set rootEl = xmlDoc.createElement("root")
xmlDoc.appendChild rootEl'Create and append child elements
Set child1 = xmlDoc.createElement("child1")
Set child2 = xmlDoc.createElement("child2")
rootEl.appendChild child1
rootEl.appendChild child2'Add an XML processing instruction
'and insert it before the root element
Set p=xmlDoc.createProcessingInstruction("xml","version='1.0'")
xmlDoc.insertBefore p,xmlDoc.childNodes(0)'Save the XML file to the c directory
xmlDoc.Save "c:\test.xml"
'ASP CODE ENDS HERE
