NAME

XML::Namespace - Simple support for XML Namespaces

SYNOPSIS

Example 1: using XML::Namespace objects

use XML::Namespace;

my $xsd = XML::Namespace->new('http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#'); 

        # explicit access via the uri() method
        print $xsd->uri();           # http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#
        print $xsd->uri('integer');   http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer

        # implicit access through AUTOLOAD method
        print $xsd->integer;          http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer

     Example 2: importing XML::Namespace objects

        use XML::Namespace
            xsd => 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#',
            rdf => 'http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#';

        # xsd and rdf are imported subroutines that return
        # XML::Namespace objects which can be used as above

        print xsd->uri('integer');    http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer
        print xsd->integer;           http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer

DESCRIPTION

This module implements a simple object for representing XML Namespaces in Perl. It provides little more than some syntactic sugar for your Perl programs, saving you the bother of typing lots of long-winded URIs. It was inspired by the Class::RDF::NS module distributed as part of Class::RDF.

For further details, please see the documentation accompanying the module.
