<a name="soap_elements_example"></a>
<h3>SOAP elements</h3>

Follows a small example of common XML constructions written in LuaSOAP.

<pre class="example">
local simple = { tag = "symbol", "DEF", } --&gt; &lt;symbol&gt;DEF&lt;/symbol&gt;

local simple_attr = {
	tag = "symbol",
	anAttribute = "aValue",
	"DEF",
} --&gt; &lt;symbol anAttribute="aValue"&gt;DEF&lt;/symbol&gt;

local structured = {
	tag = "PriceAndVolume",
	{ tag = "LastTradePrice", 34.5, },
	{ tag = "DayVolume", 10000, },
} --&gt; &lt;PriceAndVolume&gt;&lt;LastTradePrice&gt;34.5&lt;/LastTradePrice&gt;&lt;DayVolume&gt;10000&lt;/DayVolume&gt;&lt;/PriceAndVolume&gt;

local structured_attr = {
	{ tag = "stooges",
		{
			tag = "curly",
			attr = { "xsi:type", ["xsi:type"] = "xsd:int", },
			-21,
		},
		{
			tag = "larry",
			attr = { "xsi:type", ["xsi:type"] = "xsd:int", },
			59,
		},
		{
			tag = "moe",
			attr = { "xsi:type", ["xsi:type"] = "xsd:int", },
			11,
		},
	},
} --&gt; &lt;stooges&gt;&lt;curly xsi:type="xsd:int"&gt;-21&lt;/curly&gt;&lt;larry xsi:type="xsd:int"&gt;59&lt;/larry&gt;&lt;moe xsi:type="xsd:int"&gt;11&lt;/moe&gt;&lt;/stooges&gt;
</pre>

<a name="escape_example"></a>
<h3>Escaping example</h3>

Below is an example of a simple way of escaping strings that contain special characters.  Careful must be taken to non-ASCII characters since they have to be converted according to the locale/encoding.

<pre class="example">
local escaped_element = {
	tag = "StringEscapingTest",
	{ tag = "string", "&lt;this was automatically escaped", },
	{ tag = "string", 'do not re-escape my &amp;', },
} --&gt; &lt;StringEscapingTest&gt;&lt;string&gt;&amp;lt;this was automatically escaped&amp;gt;&lt;/string&gt;&lt;string&gt;do not re-escape my &amp;amp;&lt;/string&gt;&lt;/StringEscapingTest&gt;
</pre>

<a name="client_example"></a> 
<h3>Client example</h3>

Below is a small sample code displaying the use of the library in a
client application. 
Note that the external tag might not be provided in the <code>entries</code> table, since the <code>method</code> field will be used for that purpose.

<pre class="example">
local client = require "soap.client"
local ns, meth, ent = client.call {
	url = "http://soap.4s4c.com/ssss4c/soap.asp", 
	soapaction = "doubler",
	method = "http://simon.fell.com/calc",
	entries = { -- `tag' will be filled with `method' field
		{
			tag = "nums",
			attr = {
				["xmlns:SOAP-ENC"] = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/",
				["SOAP-ENC:arrayType"] = "xsd:int[5]",
			},
			{ tag = "number", 10 },
			{ tag = "number", 20 },
			{ tag = "number", 30 },
			{ tag = "number", 50 },
			{ tag = "number", 100 },
		},
	}
}
print("namespace = ", ns, "element name = ", meth)
for i, elem in ipairs (ent[1]) do
	print (elem[1])
end
</pre>
