Modifying a ColdFusion XML object
683
Note:
Array and structure functions not in the preceding or table or the table in the next section,
do
not
work with XML document objects, XML elements, or XML node structures.
Treating elements with the same name as an array
In many cases an XML element has multiple children with the same name. For example, the
example document used in this chapter has multiple name elements in the employee elements. In
many cases, you can treat the child elements with identical names as an array. For example, to
reference the second name element in mydoc.employee, you can specify
mydoc.employee.name[2]. However, you can only use a limited set of Array functions when you
use this notation. The following table lists the array functions that are valid for such references.
XML document object management reference
The following tables provide a quick reference to the ways you can modify the contents of an
XML document object. The sections that follow describe in detail how to modify XML contents.
