XML export of a lua table

XML export of a lua table

[Peter Rolf]

Hi,

what is the easiest way to export a lua table (mostly key-value pairs)
into a XML file? I found 'lxml.save', but no luck with a converter
function. Any help welcome.

kind of obvious:

local t = { a = { b = 1 } }

inspect(table.toxml(t))

Mhhh, tried that among others (always an empty XML document as result).
I guess I better start with only a small portion of the original table
(~560Kbyte as lua code).

Thanks for the pointer :D
