METHODS

freeze

Serializes the object into the XML string. Uses NoAttr set to 1 while producing XML output.

thaw($xml)

Deserializes the object from the XML string. Uses SuppressEmpty set to undef while producing XML output.

CAVEATS

Some attribute names/hashkeys (eg. starting with digit) will invalidate generated XML output.
