perl-XML-Simple

An API for simple XML files

The XML::Simple module provides a simple API layer on top of an underlying XML parsing module (either XML::Parser or one of the SAX2 parser modules). Two functions are exported: 'XMLin()' and 'XMLout()'. Note: you can explicitly request the lower case versions of the function names: 'xml_in()' and 'xml_out()'. The simplest approach is to call these two functions directly, but an optional object oriented interface (see "OPTIONAL OO INTERFACE" below) allows them to be called as methods of an *XML::Simple* object. The object interface can also be used at either end of a SAX pipeline.
