Xml Factory

The Xml factory provides a node object used to build structures using the Extensible Markup Language.

To use the Xml factory in a View include it in the $factories property of the CTK class, for example:

public $factories = array('Ctk.Xml');

Once the factory is available you can access the Node object it provides, for example:

$this->Xml->Node(array(
	'name' => 'example',
	'value' => __('Hello World')
));

As shown in the example, an array can be passed to the object with parameters to configure the object's template.

The Xml factory provides a layout specific for XML documents, which can be set from the $layout property of the CTK class, for example:

public $layout = 'Ctk.Xml/default';

If using the Xml factory to build XML documents it's advised to set the $contentType property of the CTK class to "text/xml", for example:

public $contentType = 'text/xml';

This will also cause the XML document to display correctly in Web browsers.
