Flatten To XML Function

Converts any data type you wire to anything and converts it to an XML string according to the LabVIEW XML schema.

If anything contains the characters <, >, or &, the function converts those characters to &lt;, &gt;, or &amp;, respectively. Use the Escape XML VI to convert other characters, such as ", to XML syntax.
