# XML::LibXML::Debugging(3pm)

get debugging information from XML::LibXML nodes

## NAME

XML::LibXML::Debugging - get debugging information from XML::LibXML nodes

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use XML::LibXML::Debugging;
  my $parser = XML::LibXML->new;
  my $doc    = $parser->parse_file('input.xml');
  print $doc->toClarkML;
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module adds a couple of additional methods to XML::LibXML::Node objects which are mostly aimed at helping figure out what's going on with the DOM's namespaces and structure. `"toClarkML"` produces a string of XML-like markup with explicit namespaces. The following XML:

```
  <foo xmlns="http://example.com/1"
       xmlns:bar="http://example.com/2"
       bar:baz="quux" />
```

Might be represented as:

```
  <{http://example.com/1}foo
       {http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/}xmlns="http://example.com/1"
       {http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/}bar="http://example.com/2"
       {http://example.com/2}baz="quux" />
```

Another method `"toDebuggingHash"` returns a hashref suitable for dumping using Data::Dumper.
