# NAME

XML::Stream::Namespace - Object to make defining Namespaces easier in XML::Stream.

# SYNOPSIS

XML::Stream::Namespace is a helper package to XML::Stream. It provides a clean way of defining Namespaces for XML::Stream to use when connecting.

# DESCRIPTION

      This module allows you to set and read elements from an XML::Stream
      Namespace.

# METHODS

      SetNamespace("mynamespace");
      SetXMLNS("http://www.mynamespace.com/xmlns");
      SetAttributes(attrib1=>"value1",
                    attrib2=>"value2");

      GetNamespace() returns "mynamespace"
      GetXMLNS() returns "http://www.mynamespace.com/xmlns"
      GetAttributes() returns a hash ( attrib1=>"value1",attrib2=>"value2")
      GetStream() returns the following string:
        "xmlns:mynamespace='http://www.nynamespace.com/xmlns'
         mynamespace:attrib1='value1'
         mynamespace:attrib2='value2'"

# EXAMPLES

      $myNamespace = XML::Stream::Namespace->new("mynamspace");
      $myNamespace->SetXMLNS("http://www.mynamespace.org/xmlns");
      $myNamespace->SetAttributes(foo=>"bar",
                                  bob=>"vila");

      $stream = XML::Stream->new;
      $stream->Connect(name=>"foo.bar.org",
                       port=>1234,
                       namespace=>"foo:bar",
                       namespaces=>[ $myNamespace ]);

      #
      # The above Connect will send the following as the opening string
      # of the stream to foo.bar.org:1234...
      #
      #   <stream:stream
      #    xmlns:stream="http://etherx.jabber.org/streams"
      #    to="foo.bar.org"
      #    xmlns="foo:bar"
      #    xmlns:mynamespace="http://www.mynamespace.org/xmlns"
      #    mynamespace:foo="bar"
      #    mynamespace:bob="vila">
