Bug#300239: RFA: libxml-smart-perl -- Convenience features for access to parsed XML trees

[Jeroen van Wolffelaar]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

The current maintainer of libxml-smart-perl, Michael K. Edwards,
has this package up for adoption.  If you want to be the new maintainer,
please get in contact with the maintainer first. Note: the correct current
Email address is m.k.edwards@gmail.com, the @sane.net one doesn't work
anymore.

It might be a good idea if the PERL group would be interested in adopting this
package.

Description: Convenience features for access to parsed XML trees
 With this module, nodes in an XML tree made with XML::LibXML can be
 accessed equally conveniently with the Perl syntax for hashes and arrays.
 It also provides convenience features such as searching for nodes by
 attribute, selection of an attribute value in each of multiple nodes,
 change the format of returned data, and so forth.
 .
 The module also professes to automatically handle binary data
 (encoding/decoding to/from base64), CDATA sections (used for text
 content with unbalanced <tags> and so forth), and Unicode.  It can be
 used to create XML files and load XML from the Web (just pasting an URL
 as a file path).  It also provides an easy way to send XML data through
 sockets, adding the length of the data in the <?xml?> header.
