    There are three key classes:

    xml_node : a single node in a document.

    xml_doc : the complete document. Acting on a document


    is usually the same as acting on the root node of the
    document.

    xml_nodeset : a set of nodes within the document.


    Operations on xml_nodeset s are vectorised, apply the
    operation over each node in the set.

    Compared to the XML package


    xml2 has similar goals to the XML package. The main
    differences are:

    xml2 takes care of memory management for you. It will


    automatically free the memory used by an XML document
    as soon as the last reference to it goes away.

    xml2 has a very simple class hierarchy so you don’t need


    to think about exactly what type of object you have, xml2
    will just do the right thing.
