As you can see in the table above, several functions come in two flavours: “add” and “set”. The difference is fairly straightforward:
- .add functions create a new XML element under the root element identified by the function’s ‘target’ argument
- .set functions simply update an existing element that you’ve identified with the function’s ‘target’ argument
