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.
