Saving an XML DOM object is also known as serializing the DOM. It involves a call to the save method on the DOM object. To demonstrate this, we will create a DOM object, load a string into it, and save it to a file, myData.xml.
This project uses or creates the following files.
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Source: saveDOM.cpp | Saves an XML DOM object, pXMLDom, to a new file. |
| Output | When you build and run the saveDOM project, you should get this output in a console window. |
To create the loadDOM Visual C++ project
- Create a Win32 console application in Visual C++. For detailed instructions on how to do this, see Set Up My Visual C++ Project. Name the project saveDOMProj.
Next, we'll add the source code for the saveDOM project.
