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.
