Setting Attributes on Parent with Children as Array

[jansule]

When building from objects, it is currently either possible to set a specific order for child elements, or to set attributes on the parent. However, it is not possible to do both, i.e. having an ordered set of children, while also providing attributes for the parent node.

Example: Set specific order for child elements, but no attribute on parent

builder.buildObject({Parent: [[{Literal: 'foo'}, {PropertyName: 'bar'}, {Literal: 'baz'}]]});

<Parent>
  <Literal>foo<Literal>
  <PropertyName>bar</PropertyName>
  <Literal>baz<Literal>
</Parent>

Example: Set attributes on parent element, but lose order for child elements

builder.buildObject({Parent: {$: {name: 'faz'}, Literal: ['foo', 'baz'], PropertyName: ['bar']}});

<Parent name="faz">
  <Literal>foo<Literal>
  <Literal>baz<Literal>
  <PropertyName>bar</PropertyName>
</Parent>

It would be nice, though, to be able to setting attributes on the parent element as well as preserving the explicit order of the child elements. So that we can create the following:

<Parent name="faz">
  <Literal>foo<Literal>
  <PropertyName>bar</PropertyName>
  <Literal>baz<Literal>
</Parent>
