Remarks

A DOCX or DOC document can contain one or more Custom XML Data Storage parts. Aspose.Words preserves and allows to create and extract Custom XML Data via the CustomXmlParts collection.

Examples
Shows how to create structured document tag with a custom XML data.
Document doc = new Document();

// Construct an XML part that contains data and add it to the document's collection
// Once the "Developer" tab in Mircosoft Word is enabled,
// we can find elements from this collection as well as a couple defaults in the "XML Mapping Pane" 
string xmlPartId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString("B");
string xmlPartContent = "<root><text>Hello, World!</text></root>";
CustomXmlPart xmlPart = doc.CustomXmlParts.Add(xmlPartId, xmlPartContent);

// The data we entered resides in these variables
Assert.AreEqual(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(xmlPartContent), xmlPart.Data);
Assert.AreEqual(xmlPartId, xmlPart.Id);

// XML parts can be referenced by collection index or GUID
Assert.AreEqual(xmlPart, doc.CustomXmlParts[0]);
Assert.AreEqual(xmlPart, doc.CustomXmlParts.GetById(xmlPartId));

// Once the part is created, we can add XML schema associations like this
xmlPart.Schemas.Add("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");

// We can also clone parts and insert them into the collection directly
CustomXmlPart xmlPartClone = xmlPart.Clone();
xmlPartClone.Id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString("B");
doc.CustomXmlParts.Add(xmlPartClone);

Assert.AreEqual(2, doc.CustomXmlParts.Count);

// Iterate through collection with an enumerator and print the contents of each part
using (IEnumerator<CustomXmlPart> enumerator = doc.CustomXmlParts.GetEnumerator())
{
    int index = 0;
    while (enumerator.MoveNext())
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"XML part index {index}, ID: {enumerator.Current.Id}");
        Console.WriteLine($"\tContent: {Encoding.UTF8.GetString(enumerator.Current.Data)}");
        index++;
    }
}

// XML parts can be removed by index
doc.CustomXmlParts.RemoveAt(1);

Assert.AreEqual(1, doc.CustomXmlParts.Count);

// The XML part collection itself can be cloned also
CustomXmlPartCollection customXmlParts = doc.CustomXmlParts.Clone();

// And all elements can be cleared like this
customXmlParts.Clear();

// Create a StructuredDocumentTag that will display the contents of our part,
// insert it into the document and save the document
StructuredDocumentTag sdt = new StructuredDocumentTag(doc, SdtType.PlainText, MarkupLevel.Block);
sdt.XmlMapping.SetMapping(xmlPart, "/root[1]/text[1]", "");

doc.FirstSection.Body.AppendChild(sdt);

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "StructuredDocumentTag.CustomXml.docx");
