.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module implements a transformation from structured \s-1XML \s0(MicroXML) to
simple key-value format as known from XML::Simple: Attributes and child
elements are treated as hash keys with their content as value. Text elements
without attributes are converted to text and empty elements without attributes
are converted to empty hashes.
.PP
XML::Struct can export the function \f(CW\*(C`simpleXML\*(C'\fR for easy use.
.SH "CONFIGURATION"
.IX Header "CONFIGURATION"
.IP "root" 4
.IX Item "root"
Keep the root element instead of removing. This corresponds to option
\&\f(CW\*(C`KeepRoot\*(C'\fR in XML::Simple. In addition one can set the name of the root
element if a non-numeric value is passed.
.IP "content" 4
.IX Item "content"
With option \f(CW\*(C`simple\*(C'\fR enable, text content at elements with attributes is
parsed into a hash value with this key.  Set to "\f(CW\*(C`content\*(C'\fR by default.
Corresponds to option \f(CW\*(C`ContentKey\*(C'\fR in XML::Simple.
.IP "attributes" 4
.IX Item "attributes"
Assume input without attributes if set to a true value. The special value
\&\f(CW\*(C`remove\*(C'\fR will first remove attributes, so the following three are equivalent:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    my @children = ([\*(Aqa\*(Aq],[\*(Aqb\*(Aq]);
\&
\&    simpleXML( [ $name => \e@children ], attributes => 0 );
\&    simpleXML( removeXMLAttr( [ $name => \e%attributes, \e@children ] ), attributes => 0 );
\&    simpleXML( [ $name => \e%attributes, \e@children ], attributes => \*(Aqremove\*(Aq );
.Ve
.PP
Option \f(CW\*(C`KeyAttr\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`ForceArray\*(C'\fR, and other fetures of XML::Simple not
supported (yet).
