Usage
An XML document object is represented in ColdFusion as a structure. The following example creates a document object whose root element is MyDoc. The object includes text that displays the value of the ColdFusion variable testVar. The code creates four nested child elements, which are generated by an indexed cfloop tag. The cfdump tag displays the XML document object. |

Example <cfset testVar = True> <cfxml variable="MyDoc"> <MyDoc> <cfif testVar IS True> <cfoutput>The value of testVar is True.</cfoutput> <cfelse> <cfoutput>The value of testVar is False.</cfoutput> </cfif> <cfloop index = "LoopCount" from = "1" to = "4"> <childNode> This is Child node <cfoutput>#LoopCount#.</cfoutput> </childNode> </cfloop> </MyDoc> </cfxml> <cfdump var=#MyDoc#>
