can you write xml file in html file

Question

This may sound too stupid but I have been going crazy for finding that out. I just need to know how to write XML in HTML file so I can send it using Ajax .

I know how to send XML using XMLHttpRequest after I have included external file but that is not what I am trying to do here. My XML file is really small like 3 tags. So I don't want to write external file for no reason. Please explain despite being good with Javascript,CSS, and HTML. I have very limited experince with XML. Mostly because I love JSON over all other methods...

Answer 1

function element(name,content){

    var xml
    if (!content){
        xml='<' + name + '/>'
    }
    else {
        xml='<'+ name + '>' + content + '</' + name + '>'
    }
    return xml
}  

Call this function from a HTML page
