NAME

       Test::XML - Compare XML in perl tests

SYNOPSIS

	 use Test::XML tests => 3;
	 is_xml( '<foo />', '<foo></foo>' );   # PASS
	 is_xml( '<foo />', '<bar />' );       # FAIL
	 isnt_xml( '<foo />', '<bar />' );     # PASS
	 is_well_formed_xml('<foo/>');		     # PASS
	 is_well_formed_xml('<foo>');		     # FAIL

DESCRIPTION

       This module contains generic XML testing tools.	See below for a list of other modules with functions relating to specific XML modules.

FUNCTIONS

       is_xml ( GOT, EXPECTED [, TESTNAME ] )
	   This function compares GOT and EXPECTED, both of which are strings of XML.  The comparison works semantically and will ignore
	   differences in syntax which are meaningless in xml, such as different quote characters for attributes, order of attributes or empty tag
	   styles.

	   Returns true or false, depending upon test success.

       isnt_xml( GOT, MUST_NOT_BE [, TESTNAME ] )
	   This function is similiar to is_xml(), except that it will fail if GOT and MUST_NOT_BE are identical.

       is_well_formed_xml( XML [, TESTNAME ] )
	   This function determines whether or not a given XML string is parseable as XML.

       is_good_xml ( XML [, TESTNAME ] )
	   This is an alias for is_well_formed_xml().

NOTES

       There are several features of XML::SemanticDiff that may suprise you if you are not aware of them.  In particular:

       o   Leading and trailing whitespace is always stripped, even in elements with character content.

       o   Whitespace inside character content is always stripped down to a single space.

       o   In mixed content elements (ie: an element with both text and elements beneath it), all text is treated as a single value.

       o   The order of elements is ignored.

SEE ALSO

       Test::XML::SAX, Test::XML::Twig.

       Test::More, XML::SemanticDiff.

NAME

       XML::RSS::LibXML::MagicElement - Represent A Non-Trivial RSS Element

SYNOPSIS

	 us XML::RS::LibXML::MagicElement;
	 my $xml = XML::RSS::LibXML::MagicElement->new(
	   content => $textContent,
	   attributes => @attributes
	 );

DESCRIPTION

       This module is a handy object that allows users to access non-trivial RSS elements in XML::RSS style. For example, suppose you have an RSS
       feed with an element like the following:

	 <channel>
	   <title>Example</title>
	   <tag attr1="foo" attr2="bar">baz</tag>
	   ...
	 </channel>

       While it is simple to access the title element like this:

	 $rss->{channel}->{title};

       It was slightly non-trivial for the second tag. With this module, <tag> is parsed as a XML::RSS::LibXML::MagicElement object and then you
       can access all the elements like so:

	 $rss->{channel}->{tag};  # "baz"
	 $rss->{channel}->{tag}->{attr1}; # "foo"
	 $rss->{channel}->{tag}->{attr2}; # "bar"

METHODS

   new
       Create a new MagicElement object.

   attributes
       Returns the list of attributes associated with this element

   toString
       Returns the string representation of this object.  By default we use the "text content" of the found tag, but for XML::RSS compatibility,
       we use the concatenation of the attributes if no content is found.
