XML::Elemental::Document is a subclass of XML::Elemental::Node that can be used with the Elemental parser to represent the document (root) node.

METHODS

XML::Elemental::Document->new
    Parameterless constructor. Returns an instance of the object.

$doc->contents([\@children])
    Returns an ordered array reference of direct sibling objects. In the case of the document object it will return 0 to 1 elements. Returns a reference to an empty array if the element does not have any siblings. If a parameter is passed all the direct siblings are (re)set.

$doc->root_element;
