NAME
     XML::Parser::Wrapper - A simple object wrapper around XML::Parser

SYNOPSIS
     use XML::Parser::Wrapper;

     my $xml = qq{<foo><head id="a">Hello World!</head></foo>};
     my $root = XML::Parser::Wrapper->new($xml);

     my $root2 = XML::Parser::Wrapper->new({ file => '/tmp/test.xml' });

     my $root_tag_name = $root->name;
     my $roots_children = $root->elements;

     foreach my $element (@$roots_children) {
         if ($element->name eq 'head') {
             my $id = $element->attr('id');
             my $hello_world_text = $element->text; # eq "Hello World!"
         }
     }

DESCRIPTION
     XML::Parser::Wrapper provides a simple object around XML::Parser
     to make it more convenient to deal with the parse tree returned
     by XML::Parser.

METHODS
  new($xml), new({ file => $filename })
     Calls XML::Parser to parse the given XML and returns a new
     XML::Parser::Wrapper object using the parse tree output from
     XML::Parser.

  name()
     Returns the name of the element represented by this object.

     Aliases: tag(), getName(), getTag()

  is_text()
     Returns a true value if this element is a text element, false
     otherwise.

     Aliases: isText()

  text()
     If this element is a text element, the text is returned.
     Otherwise, return the text from the first child text element, or
     undef if there is not one.

     Aliases: content(), getText(), getContent()

  attributes(), attributes($name1, $name2, ...)
     If no arguments are given, returns a hash of attributes for this
     element.  If arguments are present, an array of corresponding
     attribute values is returned.  Returns an array in array context
     and an array reference if called in scalar context.

     E.g.,

         <field name="foo" id="42">bar</field>

         my ($name, $id) = $element->attributes('name', 'id');

     Aliases: attrs(), getAttributes(), getAttrs()

  attribute($name)
     Similar to attributes(), but only returns one value.

     Aliases: attr(), getAttribute(), getAttr()

  elements()
     Returns an array of child elements.

     Aliases: getElements(), kids(), getKids(), children(), getChildren()

  first_element()
     Returns the first child element of this element.

     Aliases: getFirstElement(), kid(), first_kid()
