copied!<p>The easy method to save application settings with OmniXML is to use the <strong>OmniXMLPersistent</strong> unit.</p> <p>As explained in <a href="http://www.omnixml.com/samples.html" rel="noreferrer">OmniXML Sample Page</a> you simply define an object with published properties and with the <strong>TOmniXMLWriter</strong> class you serialize the object to a file or a string (loading with the <strong>TOmniXMLReader</strong> class)</p> <p>The serialization supports objects nested, so you could have complex structures, for example your xml could be represented by this objects:</p> <pre><code>type TAppProfiles = class(TCollection) ... end; TAppProfile = class(TCollectionItem) ... end; TAppSettings = class(TPersistent) private FCheckForUpdates: Integer; FCheckForUpdatesInterval: Integer; FShowSplashScreen: Boolean; published property CheckForUpdates: Integer read FCheckForUpdates write FCheckForUpdates; property CheckForUpdatesInterval: Integer read FCheckForUpdatesInterval write FCheckForUpdatesInterval; property ShowSplashScreen: Boolean read FShowSplashScreen write FShowSplashScreen; end; TAppConfiguration = class(TPersistent) private FProfiles: TAppProfiles; FSettings: TAppSettings; published property Profiles: TAppProfiles read FProfiles write FProfiles; property Settings: TAppSettings read FSettings write FSettings; end; //Declare an instance of your configuration object var AppConf: TAppConfiguration; //Create it AppConf := TAppConfiguration.Create; //Serialize the object! TOmniXMLWriter.SaveToFile(AppConf, 'appname.xml', pfNodes, ofIndent); //And, of course, at the program start read the file into the object TOmniXMLReader.LoadFromFile(AppConf, 'appname.xml'); </code></pre> <p>That's all.. without writing a single line of xml yourself...</p> <p>If you still prefer the "manual" way, take a look at the OmniXMLUtils units or the <a href="http://17slon.com/blogs/gabr/labels/XML.html" rel="noreferrer">Fluent interface to OmniXML</a> (written by Primoz Gabrijelcic, the OmniXML author)</p> <p>Ah.. public thanks to Primoz for this excellent delphi library!</p>
