            MetaXMLObject

The place where all magic happens:

remember the name of the new type (class)
store attribute instances (used in XMLObject.{to,from}Xml methods)
create MetaAttributes
handle inheritance

Special variables are:

XMLObject.__name__ : the class name
XMLObject.__nodes__ : the hash of class members keyed by name. Each node has to be an instance of the Node class.

Class Method Details

instanceFromXml(cls, xmlData, registryID=None)

Builds a new XMLObject instance given its XML representation. This method differs from XMLObject.fromXml in the fact that you don't need to care about the XMLObject type to use because it's taken from the class registry.

Though, XMLObjects you defined need to be in the namespace where you use this method.

isXONode(cls, name, instance)

Checks if an instance variable is an XMLObject Node
