NAME

XML::Stream::Namespace - Object to make defining Namespaces easier in
XML::Stream.

SYNOPSIS

XML::Stream::Namespace is a helper package to XML::Stream. It provides a clean way of defining Namespaces for XML::Stream to use when connecting.

DESCRIPTION

This module allows you to set and read elements from an XML::Stream
Namespace.

METHODS

SetNamespace("mynamespace");
SetXMLNS("http://www.mynamespace.com/xmlns");
SetAttributes(attrib1=>"value1",
              attrib2=>"value2");
GetNamespace() returns "mynamespace"
GetXMLNS() returns "http://www.mynamespace.com/xmlns"
GetAttributes() returns a hash ( attrib1=>"value1",attrib2=>"value2")
GetStream() returns the following string:
  "xmlns:mynamespace='http://www.nynamespace.com/xmlns' 
   mynamespace:attrib1='value1' 
   mynamespace:attrib2='value2'"

EXAMPLES

$myNamespace = XML::Stream::Namespace->new("mynamspace");
$myNamespace->SetXMLNS("http://www.mynamespace.org/xmlns");
$myNamespace->SetAttributes(foo=>"bar",
                            bob=>"vila");
$stream = XML::Stream->new;
$stream->Connect(name=>"foo.bar.org",
                 port=>1234,
                 namespace=>"foo:bar",
                 namespaces=>[ $myNamespace ]);
#
# The above Connect will send the following as the opening string
# of the stream to foo.bar.org:1234...
#
#   <stream:stream 
#    xmlns:stream="http://etherx.jabber.org/streams"
#    to="foo.bar.org"
#    xmlns="foo:bar" 
#    xmlns:mynamespace="http://www.mynamespace.org/xmlns"
#    mynamespace:foo="bar"
#    mynamespace:bob="vila">
