There are lots of XML classes in the Gobo library.

Ok,I am looking into it

I want to know if I can do something like this.

For Example suppose that I have a class Person

class PERSON
create
   make
feature
   -- other code
   name:STRING
   lastname:STRING
   -- other code
 
end
//

p1:PERSON
create p1.make("Joe", "Walnes");

// the from some API do this


stream:XML_STREAM
xml : STRING
create stream.make

xml := stream.toXML(p1);

the I want to get something like this

<person>
  <name>Joe</name>
  <lastname>Walnes</lastname>
</person>


Thanks
Javier

Currently we only provide binary serializer. One could extend our SED
library to provide an XML backend but since one has to identify objects the
format would not be that readable. If you only need to serialize simple
objects like that you could simply write the XML yourself and on the reading
side use an XML parser to reconstruct the object.
