XML Write API

[forki23]

Hi guys,

I'm experimenting with an write API for the XML type provider.

At the moment I have a mutable version.

You can see a sample her: https://github.com/fsharp/fsharpx/blob/master/tests/FSharpx.TypeProviders.Tests/Xml.Writer.Tests.fs

What do you think?

I was wondering if this were possible. Nice demonstration. I think it would be even nicer to stick to immutability if possible. Would you be able to return the value as a record and use { author with Name = "Steffen" } instead?

Also, what about the ability to point to a Stream rather than a file name? Can the StructuredXml<> take a F# quotation? I have yet to dig into creating type providers, so I still don't know the limitations.

Returning a record would be interesting. I'm planning to support two interfaces - one mutable (for C# compatibility) and one immtuable.

On the other hand: Using deep nested records is really tricky without lenses. Maybe we need to go in this direction.

I was going to throw lenses out there earlier, but I thought I would "keep it simple." :)

I released this API with version 1.5.3
