writing CDATA block to NSXMLDocument file

Question

How can one write CDATA block in XML file and save it to a file in cocoa.

Answer 1

To create a node containing CDATA encoded text, use method initWithKind:options: on NSXMLNode.

NSXMLNode *cdataNode = [[NSXMLNode alloc] initWithKind:NSXMLTextKind  options:NSXMLNodeIsCDATA];
[cdataNode setStringValue:@"<some text>"];

And to write xml data to a file:

NSData *xmlData = [xmlDoc XMLDataWithOptions:NSXMLNodePrettyPrint];
[xmlData writeToFile:fileName atomically:YES];
