abap-xml-renderer

ABAP variables to XML format

Use

• Create an instance of the simple renderer (optionally passing static mappings for the names of the tags), which implements ZIF_XML_RENDERER and handles internal tables, structures, and elemental variables¹:

  final(xml_renderer) = new zcl_simple_xml_renderer( ).

• Call the process method with an XML Writer and a variable as arguments:

  final(writer) = cl_sxml_string_writer=>create( ).
  
  xml_renderer->process( i_writer = cast #( writer )
                         i_data = VAR ).

• Use the writer as usual:

  final(encoded_xml) = writer->get_output( ).

Example

You can run class ZCL_XML_SIMPLE_RENDERER_EG_APP to see how a short XML file can be generated.

1. You can also implement interface ZIF_XML_RENDERER yourself to create the XML file however you prefer ↩
