NAME

       XML::LibXML::LazyBuilder - easy and lazy way to create XML document for XML::LibXML

SYNOPSIS

	 use XML::LibXML::LazyBuilder;

	 {
	     package XML::LibXML::LazyBuilder;
	     $d = DOM (E A => {at1 => "val1", at2 => "val2"},
		       ((E B => {}, ((E "C"),
				     (E D => {}, "Content of D"))),
			(E E => {}, ((E F => {}, "Content of F"),
				     (E "G")))));
	 }

DESCRIPTION

       You can describe XML documents like simple function call instead of using createElement, appendChild, etc...

   FUNCTIONS
       E
	       E "tagname", \%attr, @children

	   Creats CODEREF that generates "XML::LibXML::Element" which tag name is given by first argument.  Rest arguments are list of text
	   content or child element created by "E" (so you can nest "E").

	   Since the output of this function is CODEREF, the creation of actual "XML::LibXML::Element" object will be delayed until "DOM" function
	   is called.

       DOM
	       DOM &docroot, $var, $enc

	   Generates "XML::LibXML::Document" object actually.  First argument is a CODEREF created by "E" function.  $var is version number of XML
	   docuemnt, "1.0" by default.	$enc is encoding, "utf-8" by default.

   EXPORT
       None by default.

       :all
	   Exports "E" and "DOM".

   EXAMPLES
       I recommend to use "package" statement in a small scope so that you can use short function name and avoid to pollute global name space.

	 my $d;
	 {
	     package XML::LibXML::LazyBuilder;
	     $d = DOM (E A => {at1 => "val1", at2 => "val2"},
		       ((E B => {}, ((E "C"),
				     (E D => {}, "Content of D"))),
			(E E => {}, ((E F => {}, "Content of F"),
				     (E "G")))));
	 }

       Then, "$d->toString" will generate XML like this:

	 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
	 <A at1="val1" at2="val2"><B><C/><D>Content of D</D></B><E><F>Content of F</F><G/></E></A>
