NAME

       XML::Easy::Tranform - XML processing with a clean interface

DESCRIPTION

       The "XML::Easy::Transform::" namespace exists to contain modules that perform transformations on XML documents, or parts thereof, in the
       form of XML::Easy::Element and XML::Easy::Content nodes.

       XML::Easy is a collection of modules relating to the processing of XML data.  It includes functions to parse and serialise the standard
       textual form of XML.  When XML data is not in text form, XML::Easy processes it in an abstract syntax-neutral form, as a collection of
       linked Perl objects.  This in-program data format shields XML users from the infelicities of XML syntax.  Modules under the
       "XML::Easy::Transform::" namespace operate on XML data in this abstract structured form, not on textual XML.

       A transformation on XML data should normally be presented in the form of a function, which takes an XML::Easy::Element node as its main
       parameter, and returns an XML::Easy::Element node (or "die"s on error).	The input node and output node each represent the root element of
       the XML document (or fragment thereof) being transformed.  These nodes, of course, contain subordinate nodes, according to the structure of
       the XML data.  A reference to the top node is all that is required to effectively pass the whole document.
