README
1XML::Writer is a simple Perl module for writing XML documents: it
2takes care of constructing markup and escaping data correctly, and by
3default, it also performs a significant amount of well-formedness
4checking on the output, to make certain (for example) that start and
5end tags match, that there is exactly one document element, and that
6there are not duplicate attribute names.
7
8Here is an example:
9
10 my $writer = new XML::Writer();
11
12 $writer->startTag('greeting', 'type' => 'simple');
13 $writer->characters("Hello, world!");
14 $writer->endTag('greeting');
15 $writer->end();
16
17If necessary, error-checking can be turned off for production use.
