FM.buildXmlFromObj(object, toString)

object

Pass in any object which has to be converted to xml/string. Object's property which is defined with @, is treated as an "attribute".

toString (Boolean) [optional]

If value is set to true, it returns an xml in "string format". If value is set to false, it returns an "XML". Defaults to false.

Usage

var obj = {
    ROOT: {
        R: {
            '@id': 1
        }
    }
}
FM.buildXmlFromObj(obj);
/* Returns an XML, since toString is undefined.
<ROOT> <R id="1"/> </ROOT> */

FM.buildXmlFromObj(obj, true);
/* Returns XML string, since toString is set to true.
'<ROOT> <R id="1"/> </ROOT>' */

To get a list of items, pass an array as value to the object's property.

var obj = {
    STUDENTS: {
        S: [{
            '@id': 1,
            '@name': 'Nandeesh'
        }, {
            '@id': 2,
            '@name': 'Stanley'
        }]
    }
}
FM.buildXmlFromObj(obj);
/* returns an XML,

<STUDENTS>
	<S id="1" name="Nandeesh"/>
