NAME

XML::Atom::Syndication::Writer - a class for serializing XML::Atom::Syndication nodes into XML.

DESCRIPTION

This class uses XML::Writer to serialize XML::Atom::Syndication nodes into XML.

The following namespace prefixes are automatically defined when each writer is instaniated:

 dc            http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/
 dcterms       http://purl.org/dc/terms/
 sy            http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/
 trackback     http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/trackback/
 xhtml         http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
 xml           http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace

METHODS

XML::Atom::Syndication::Writer->new

Constructor.

$writer->set_prefix($prefix,$nsuri)

Assigns a namespace prefix to a URI.

$writer->get_prefix($prefix)

Returns the namespace URI assigned to the given prefix.

$writer->get_namespace($nsuri)

Returns the namespace prefix assigned to the given URI.

$writer->as_xml($node,$is_full)

Returns an XML representation of the given node and all its descendants. By default the method returns an XML fragment unless $is_full is a true value. If $is_full is true an XML declaration is prepended to the output.

All output will be in UTF-8 regardless of the original encoding before parsing.

$writer->no_cdata([$boolean])

Defines the use of the CDATA construct for encoding embedded markup. By default this flag is set to false in which case CDATA will be used to escape what looks like markup instead of using entity encoding. The purpose is that CDATA is more concise, readable and requires less processing. This is not always desirable this can be turned off by passing in a true value. If nothing is passed the current state of CDATA use is returned.
