ABAP

DATA: xml_string TYPE string.

DATA(xml)  = cl_ixml=>create( ).
DATA(doc)  = xml->create_document( ).
DATA(root) = doc->create_simple_element( name   = 'root'
                                         parent = doc ).

                            parent = root
                            value  = 'Some text here' ).

DATA(stream_factory) = xml->create_stream_factory( ).
DATA(stream)         = stream_factory->create_ostream_cstring( string = xml_string ).
DATA(renderer)       = xml->create_renderer( document = doc
                                             ostream  = stream ).
stream->set_pretty_print( abap_true ).

Output:

Ada

Works with: GNAT

Uses XML/Ada from AdaCore.

with Ada.Text_IO.Text_Streams;
with DOM.Core.Documents;
with DOM.Core.Nodes;

procedure Serialization is
   My_Implementation : DOM.Core.DOM_Implementation;
   My_Document       : DOM.Core.Document;
   My_Root_Node      : DOM.Core.Element;
   My_Element_Node   : DOM.Core.Element;
   My_Text_Node      : DOM.Core.Text;
begin
   My_Document := DOM.Core.Create_Document (My_Implementation);
   My_Root_Node := DOM.Core.Documents.Create_Element (My_Document, "root");
   My_Root_Node := DOM.Core.Nodes.Append_Child (My_Document, My_Root_Node);
   My_Element_Node := DOM.Core.Documents.Create_Element (My_Document, "element");
   My_Element_Node := DOM.Core.Nodes.Append_Child (My_Root_Node, My_Element_Node);
   My_Text_Node := DOM.Core.Documents.Create_Text_Node (My_Document, "Some text here");
   My_Text_Node := DOM.Core.Nodes.Append_Child (My_Element_Node, My_Text_Node);
   DOM.Core.Nodes.Write
     (Stream => Ada.Text_IO.Text_Streams.Stream
        (Ada.Text_IO.Standard_Output),
      N => My_Document,
      Pretty_Print => True);
end Serialization;

It can be shortened a lot by adding "use" clauses and writing the creation functions into the declaration part.

Output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
 <element>Some text here</element>
</root>

Bracmat

To produce the XML including all indentations, we can do this:

(     ("?"."xml version=\"1.0\" ")
      \n
      (root.,"\n    " (element.,"
        Some text here
    ") \n)
  : ?xml
& out$(toML$!xml)
);

If we do not care about indentation:

(   ("?"."xml version=\"1.0\"") (root.,(element.,"Some text here"))
  : ?xml
& out$(toML$!xml)
);

Common Lisp

Library: Closure XML

Assuming that matching the whitespace in the problem description isn't necessary and that character encodings are permitted (see the talk page):

(let* ((doc (dom:create-document 'rune-dom:implementation nil nil nil))
       (root (dom:create-element doc "root"))
       (element (dom:create-element doc "element"))
       (text (dom:create-text-node doc "Some text here")))
  (dom:append-child element text)
  (dom:append-child root element)
  (dom:append-child doc root)
  (dom:map-document (cxml:make-rod-sink) doc))

gives the following output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root><element>Some text here</element></root>

Because dom:append-child returns the appended child, the same output can be produced while binding fewer variables:

(let ((doc (dom:create-document 'rune-dom:implementation nil nil nil)))
  (dom:append-child
   (dom:append-child
    (dom:append-child doc (dom:create-element doc "root"))
    (dom:create-element doc "element"))
   (dom:create-text-node doc "Some text here"))
  (write-string (dom:map-document (cxml:make-rod-sink) doc)))

The prefix notation makes this hard to decipher, however, and so a final version uses an auxiliary append-child*:

(defun append-child* (parent &rest children)
  (reduce 'dom:append-child children :initial-value parent))

(let* ((doc (dom:create-document 'rune-dom:implementation nil nil nil)))
  (append-child* doc
                 (dom:create-element doc "root")
                 (dom:create-element doc "element")
                 (dom:create-text-node doc "Some text here"))
  (write-string (dom:map-document (cxml:make-rod-sink) doc)))

def root := document.getDocumentElement()
root.appendChild(
  def element := document.createElement("element"))
element.appendChild(
  document.createTextNode("Some text here"))
println(document.saveXML(root))

(On the use of <unsafe>: The class has not yet been reviewed for E safety, so <import:...makeDocumentBuilderFactory> is not yet allowed. The review would probably be straightforward.)

Factor

USING: xml.syntax xml.writer ;

Factor's XML syntax isn't just for parsing static XML. Since it supports interpolation (denoted by <->) and plays nicely with sequences, it is easy to build up arbitrary trees:

USING: sequences xml.syntax xml.writer ;

3 [XML <element>Some text here</element> XML] <repetition>
[XML <element2><element3>1.0</element3></element2> XML] append
<XML <root><-></root> XML>
pprint-xml
Output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <element>
    Some text here
  </element>
  <element>
    Some text here
  </element>
  <element>
    Some text here
  </element>
  <element2>
    <element3>

Go

A very small, subset of the W3C DOM Core in Go. The work builds off the existing XML parser. A fork of the godom project (http://code.google.com/p/godom/), which appears to be unsupported at the moment.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    dom "gitlab.com/stone.code/xmldom-go.git"
)

func main() {
    d, err := dom.ParseStringXml(`
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<root>
    <element>
        Some text here
    </element>
</root>`)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Println(string(d.ToXml()))
}
Output:
<root>
    <element>
        Some text here
    </element>
</root>

Groovy

import groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder
def writer = new StringWriter() << '<?xml version="1.0" ?>\n'
def xml = new MarkupBuilder(writer)
xml.root() {
    element('Some text here' )

Haskell

Using the XML.Light module from HackageDB

import Data.List
import Text.XML.Light

xmlDOM :: String -> String
xmlDOM txt = showTopElement $ Element
    (unqual "root")
    []
    [ Elem $ Element
      (unqual "element")
      []
      [Text $ CData CDataText txt Nothing]
      Nothing
    ]
    Nothing

Output:

*Main> mapM_ (putStrLn.ppContent) $ parseXML (xmlDOM "  Some text  ")
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<root>
  <element>  Some text  </element>
</root>

J

There are probably better ways of doing this, but, here is a simple serializer for a rudimentary concept of a dom:

serialize=: ('<?xml version="1.0" ?>',LF),;@serialize1&''
serialize1=:4 :0
  if.L.x do.
    start=. y,'<',(0{::x),'>',LF
    middle=. ;;(}.x) serialize1&.> <'    ',y
    end=. y,'</',(0{::x),'>',LF
    <start,middle,end
  else.
    <y,x,LF
  end.
)

And here is a document object that matches this task:

obj=: 'root';<'element';'some text here'

Example use:

   serialize obj
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<root>
    <element>
        some text here
    </element>
</root>

Julia

using LightXML

# Modified from the documentation for LightXML.jl. The underlying library requires an encoding string be printed.

# create an empty XML document
xdoc = XMLDocument()

# create & attach a root node
xroot = create_root(xdoc, "root")

# create the first child
xs1 = new_child(xroot, "element")

# add the inner content
add_text(xs1, "some text here")

println(xdoc)
Output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
  <element>some text here</element>
</root>

Kotlin

This is the closest I could get to the required output.

There appears to be no satisfactory way to prevent the default encoding and standalone attributes from appearing in the XML declaration using the standard JDK DOM implementation. If you set the standalone attribute to true - using doc.setXmlStandalone(true) - then this removes it from the declaration but unfortunately there is then no carriage return before the <root> tag!

So I've decided to leave it as it is.

Lingo

Code based on Flash Xtra (comes with Director, i.e. "built-in") that allows to use AS2/AS3 classes in Lingo (in this case "XML" is an AS2 class).

-- create an XML document
doc = newObject("XML", "<?xml version='1.0' ?>")

root = doc.createElement("root")  
doc.appendChild(root)

element = doc.createElement("element")
root.appendChild(element)

textNode = doc.createTextNode("Some text here")
element.appendChild(textNode)

put doc.toString()
-- "<?xml version='1.0' ?><root><element>Some text here</element></root>"

Lua

Using the widely available 'LuaXML' module

require("LuaXML")
local dom = xml.new("root")
local element = xml.new("element")
table.insert(element, "Some text here")
dom:append(element)
dom:save("dom.xml")

Resulting contents of dom.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- file "dom.xml", generated by LuaXML -->

<root>
  <element>Some text here</element>
</root>

Mathematica/Wolfram Language

DOM = XMLObject["Document"][{XMLObject["Declaration"]["Version" -> "1.0","Encoding" -> "utf-8"]},
XMLElement["root", {}, {XMLElement["element", {}, {"Some text here"}]}], {}];
ExportString[DOM, "XML", "AttributeQuoting" -> "\""]
Output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
 <element>Some text here</element>
</root>

MATLAB

docNode = com.mathworks.xml.XMLUtils.createDocument('root');
docRootNode = docNode.getDocumentElement;
thisElement = docNode.createElement('element'); 
thisElement.appendChild(docNode.createTextNode('Some text here'));
docRootNode.appendChild(thisElement);

Output:

node->add_child(subnode);

dom->render_xml();
Result: "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><root><element>Some text here</element></root>"

from an array, using a conversion function:

} 


indent_xml(make_xml_tree(input))->render_xml();

        "<root>\r\n"
        "    <element>Some text here</element>\r\n"

Wren

Wren has no built-in or (AFAIK) third party support for XML so we code a minimal DOM sufficient for completing this task.

class XmlDocument {
    construct new(root) {
        _root = root
    }

    toString { "<?xml version=\"1.0\" ?>\n%(_root.toString(0))" }
}

class XmlElement {
    construct new(name, text) {
        _name = name
        _text = text
        _children = []
    }

    name     { _name }
    text     { _text }
    children { _children }

    addChild(child) { _children.add(child) }

    toString(level) {
        var indent = "    "
        var s = indent * level + "<%(name)>\n"
        if (_text != "") s = s + indent * (level + 1) + _text + "\n"
        for (c in _children) {
            s = s + c.toString(level+1) + "\n"
        }
        return s + indent * level + "</%(name)>"
    }
}

var root  = XmlElement.new("root", "")
var child = XmlElement.new("element", "Some text here")
root.addChild(child)
var doc = XmlDocument.new(root)
System.print(doc)
Output:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<root>
    <element>
        Some text here
    </element>
</root>


Since the first version was written, the above XML parser has appeared and, consequently, the solution can now be rewritten as follows.

import "./xsequence" for XDocument, XElement

var doc = XDocument.new(
    XElement.new("root",
        XElement.new("element", "Some text here")
    )
)
System.print(doc)
Output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
  <element>Some text here</element>
</root>

          </element>
        </root>
      </p:inline>
    </p:input>
  </p:identity>
</p:pipeline>

XQuery

In XQuery static element construction is like normal XML:

<root>
  <element>
    Some text here
  </element>
</root>

Dynamic element construction looks quite different:

let $rootTagname := 'root'
let $elementTagname := 'element'
let $elementContent := 'Some text here'

return
  element {$rootTagname}
          {
            element{$elementTagname}
                   {$elementContent}
          }
