Overview
The Rosella Xml library is used to read and write data in XML markup format.
Concepts
Namespaces
Rosella.Xml
The Rosella.Xml namespace contains some important driver routines for parsing existing XML documents.
read_string: Read a string of XML and return an Xml.Documentread_file: Read XML from a file. Return an Xml.Documentread_dtd_string: Read a DTD document from a stringread_dtd_file: Read a DTD document from a file

Classes
Rosella.Xml.Document
Rosella.Xml.Document is an object representing an entire XML document. It contains the entity information along with headers and other metadata. Documents can be created from parsing a string of existing XML markup or by creating it directly.
Rosella.Xml.DtdDocument
Rosella.Xml.DtdDocument represents a DTD document. It can be created from parsing a DTD definition, by parsing an XML document with DTD information included inline, or by creating it directly.
Rosella.Xml.Tag
Rosella.Xml.Tag represents a complete XML tag, including attributes and child contents.
Rosella.Xml.Tag.EndTag
An end tag </foo>
Rosella.Xml.Tag.XmlHeader
Rosella.Xml.Tag.XmlHeader represents an <?xml ... ?> tag at the beginning of the document, typically with version or encoding information.
Rosella.Xml.Tag.DtdHeader
Rosella.Xml.Tag.DtdHeader represents a <!DOCTYPE ...?> tag at the beginning of the document with schema information.
Rosella.Xml.Tag.DtdElement
Rosella.Xml.Tag.DtdElement represents an <!ELEMENT> declaration in a DTD.
Rosella.Xml.Tag.DtdAttlist
Rosella.Xml.Tag.DtdAttlist represents an <!ATTLIST> declaration in a DTD.
Rosella.Xml.Tag.Comment
Rosella.Xml.Tag.Comment represents a <!-- --> Comment in XML
Rosella.Xml.Tag.DocumentRoot
A helper class for the parser. Not for user applications.
Rosella.Xml.Tag.Collection
Rosella.Xml.Tag.Collection represents a collection of Tag objects. It is an Iterable type.
Rosella.Xml.Text
Rosella.Xml.Text' represents literal strings of text in the xml document.
Rosella.Xml.Visitor
Rosella.Xml.Visitor implements a visitor pattern for algorithms that need to visit and operate on all nodes in the document recursively.
Rosella.Xml.Visitor.Lister
Rosella.Xml.Visitor.Lister is an example visitor type which creates a list of all nodes in the document.
Rosella.Xml.Visitor.DtdValidator
Rosella.Xml.Visitor.DtdValidator performs validation of an XML document according to a given DTD document. It returns a flag for whether the document passes validation, and a list of error messages if it does not.
