Writing XML using the xml library

Problem

You have some s-expression that you'd like to write to XML.

Solution

Use the write-xml/content function in the xml library.

#lang scheme/base
(require xml)
(write-xml/content
 (xexpr->xml '(p "this is a "(b "test"))))

To write this to a file rather than to standard output, you can provide an explicit output port to write-xml/content.

#lang scheme/base
(require xml)
(define op (open-output-string))

(write-xml/content (xexpr->xml '(p "this is a "(b "test")))
                   op)
(printf "I see: ~s~n" (get-output-string op))
