# Excel::Writer::XLSX::Package::XMLwriter(3pm)

A base class for the Excel::Writer::XLSX writer classes.

## NAME

XMLwriter - A base class for the Excel::Writer::XLSX writer classes.

## DESCRIPTION

This module is used by Excel::Writer::XLSX for writing XML documents. It is a light weight re-implementation of XML::Writer.

XMLwriter is approximately twice as fast as XML::Writer. This speed is achieved at the expense of error and correctness checking. In addition not all of the XML::Writer methods are implemented. As such, XMLwriter is not recommended for use outside of Excel::Writer::XLSX.

## SEE ALSO

XML::Writer.
