As far as I know you can't create an xml file on 'disk' (or other media) with JavaScript, only in memory.

I am sorry, but I haven't used it myself.

Please use Google :)

The 4th reply (by 'jiggy') in the page I linked to earlier gives you some pointers where to search for.

Hi, guys i am working in Jquery mobile

it is possible to store xml file using jquery in both Android and Iphone

 var content = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>';
 content+='<logins>';
 content +='<properties>'
 content +='<username>something</username>'
 content +='<password>something</password>'
 content +='</properties>'
 content +='</logins>';

var  storedFileName = "login.xml";
var storedContent = content;
   StoreLocalXML();


  /* Create Local Xml Files */
    function StoreLocalXML() {
        window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, gotFS, Fail);
    }
 
    function gotFS(fileSystem) {
        // create dir
        fileSystem.root.getDirectory("folderName", {
            create: true,
            exclusive: false
        }, gotDirEntry, Fail);
    }

    function gotDirEntry(dirEntry) {
        // create file
        dirEntry.getFile(storedFileName, {
            create: true,
            exclusive: false
        }, gotFileEntry, Fail);
    }

    function gotFileEntry(fileEntry) {
        fileEntry.createWriter(gotFileWriter, Fail);
       
    }

    function gotFileWriter(writer) {
           
        writer.onwrite = function (evt) {
            console.log("write completed");
        };
        writer.write(storedContent);
        writer.abort();
      
    }

    function Fail(error) {
        console.log(error.code);
    }

Hi tra12,

You should be able to use the Cordova File API to write your data in an xml file and save it in the file system of a device. The code bellow also demonstrates this API so you can definitely use it and you can also take a look at the AppBuilder File Sample to get started.
