NAME

       RDF::Trine::Node::Literal::XML - RDF Node class for XMLLiterals

METHODS

       "new ( $node )"
       "new ( $string [ , $lang, $datatype ] )"
	   Returns a new XML Literal object. This method can be used in two different ways: It can either be passed a string or an XML::LibXML
	   node.

	   In the case of passing a string, this method follows the same API as the RDF::Trine::Node::Literal constructor, but:

	   o   $string must be a well-balanced XML fragment =item * $lang is optional, but if a language code is present it will be used as the
	       value of "xml:lang" attribute(s) on the root XML element(s) of the literal. If the element already has an "xml:lang" attribute it
	       will be overwritten. For the node types that doesn't support adding a language, text and CData, a warning will be issued.  =item *
	       $datatype will be ignored and set to 'http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#XMLLiteral'

	   In the case of using a XML::LibXML node $node, the Node may be one of these types or a subclass thereof:

	   o   XML::LibXML::Document =item * XML::LibXML::DocumentFragment =item * XML::LibXML::Element =item * XML::LibXML::CDATASection =item *
	       XML::LibXML::NodeList =item * XML::LibXML::Text

	   If the string is not a valid XML fragment, and the $node is not of one of the above types, this method throws a RDF::Trine::Error
	   exception.

       "xml_element"
	   Returns the XML::LibXML node for the XML Literal.
