NAME

       XML::NamespaceFactory - Simple factory objects for SAX namespaced names

SYNOPSIS

         use XML::NamespaceFactory;
         my $FOO = XML::NamespaceFactory->new('http://foo.org/ns/');

         print $FOO->title;            # {http://foo.org/ns/}title
         print $FOO->{'bar.baz-toto'}; # {http://foo.org/ns/}bar.baz-toto

ABSTRACT

       A number of accessors for namespaces in SAX use the JClark notation,
       {namespace}local-name. Those are a bit painful to type repeatedly, and somewhat error-
       prone as hash keys. This module makes life easier.

DESCRIPTION

       Simply create a new XML::NamespaceFactory object with the namespace you wish to use as its
       single parameter. If you wish to use the empty namespace, simply pass in an empty string
       (but undef will not do).

       Then, when you want to get a JClark name, call a method on that object the name of which
       is the local name you wish to have. It'll return the JClark notation for that local name
       in your namespace.

       Unfortunately, some local names legal in XML are not legal in Perl. To circumvent this,
       you can use the hash notation in which you access a key on the object the name of which is
       the local name you wish to have. This will work just as the method call name but will
       accept more characters.  Note that it does not check that the name you ask for is a valid
       XML name. This form is more general but slower.

       If this is not clear, hopefully the SYNOPSIS should help :)
