XML-Genx ======== Genx is a software library written in the C programming language. You can use it to generate XML output, suitable for saving into a file or sending in a message to another computer program. Genx does several things at once: * Takes care of escaping XML's special characters for you. * Keeps you from generating text which isn't well-formed. * Generates namespace prefixes so you don't have to. * Produces documents which are Canonical XML, suitable for use with digital-signature technology. * Tries to do all this efficiently. XML::Genx is a wrapper around Genx to let it be used from Perl.

Otherwise you will see mysterious failures when you try to actually use XML::Genx. COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (C) 2004 by Dominic Mitchell. All rights reserved.
