Example

The following PeopleCode program uses a position:

Local XmlDoc &inXMLDoc;
Local XmlNode &elementNode, &removedNode;

&inXMLDoc = CreateXmlDoc("<?xml version='1.0'?><root/>");
&elementNode = &inXMLDoc.DocumentElement.AddElement("first");
&elementNode = &inXMLDoc.DocumentElement.AddElement("second");
&elementNode = &inXMLDoc.DocumentElement.AddElement("third");

&removedNode = &inXMLDoc.DocumentElement.RemoveChildNode(2);

The following PeopleCode program uses a reference node:

Local XmlDoc &inXMLDoc;
Local XmlNode &elementNode, &removedNode;

&inXMLDoc = CreateXmlDoc("<?xml version='1.0'?><root/>");
&elementNode = &inXMLDoc.DocumentElement.AddElement("first");
&elementNode = &inXMLDoc.DocumentElement.AddElement("second");
&elementNode = &inXMLDoc.DocumentElement.AddElement("third");

&elementNode = &inXMLDoc.DocumentElement.FindNode("/second");
&removedNode = &inXMLDoc.DocumentElement.RemoveChildNode(&elementNode);

This is the XML document before the removal:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
  <first/>
  <second/>
  <third/>
</root>

This is XML document after the removal:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
  <first/>
  <third/>
</root>
