The API is very flexible, and allows you to write XML with varying degrees of well-formed-
ness and validity. You can quickly and cleanly produce XML snippets suitable for transfer into
the payload of a SOAP body or anywhere else you'd like to stick some markup.
Executing this program gives you the following result:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
