             Summary: Forge XML parser - Add api so you can insert a child node at a given index
                 Key: FORGE-2293
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-2293
             Project: Forge
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Parsers / File Manipulation
    Affects Versions: 2.15.2.Final
            Reporter: Claus Ibsen


I am using the nice XMLParser API from
https://github.com/forge/xml-parser

But having a Node, I need to add a new child node at a specific order. Today the child node is added at the end. But my XSD has a structure so I must add the child node at a given position.

I cannot find an api to do that. I may have to remove all child nodes, and rebuild the structure in the order I need. But I think that is a bit drastic - would be nice if there was an api to do that.

For example a addSibling method that creates a sibling node, and inserts it just after current node, eg

If the children is

A,B,C,D,E,F

And then I want to add a C2, I can do

  Node c = ...
   c.addSibling("C2);

And then we have
A,B,C,C2,D,E

{code}
Node camel = ...
for (Node child : camel.getChildren()) {
    ...
    logic here
    if (yeah) {
      Node newEndpoint = child.addSibiling("endpoint);
      newEndpoint.attribute("id", "foo");
      newEndpoint.attribute("url", "bla bla");
    }
}
{code}
