+*******************
+Get XML FROM Result
+*******************
+
+**getXMLFromResult()**
+
+This method returns the xml result from database result. You can do like this::
+
+    $model = new class extends \CodeIgniter\Model {
+        protected $table      = 'foo';
+        protected $primaryKey = 'id';
+    };
+    $db = \Closure::bind(function ($model) {
+        return $model->db;
+    }, null, $model)($model);
+
+    $util = (new \CodeIgniter\Database\Database())->loadUtils($db);
+    echo $util->getXMLFromResult($model->get());
+
+and it will get the following xml result::
+
+    <root>
+        <element>
+            <id>1</id>
+            <name>bar</name>
+        </element>
+    </root>
