====== XML::Application::Config ======

''XML::Application::Config'' is a perl module for handling ''XML'' based
configuration files.

Examples:
<file txt .myApplication.xml>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<applicationconfig version="0.2">
           <application name="myApplication">
                        <hostname value="myHost.example.org" />
                        <auth>
                                <login    value="johndoe"/>
                                <password value="secret"/>
                        </auth>
                        <optionlist>
                                <option name="o1" value="I" />
                                <option name="o2" value="II" />
                                <option name="o3" value="III" />
                        </optionlist>
           </application>
</applicationconfig>
</file>

===== bugs & wish list =====

* the .deb-package lacks the dependency of libxml-xpath-perl (2015-02-23)
  * replace XML::XPath by XML::LibXML2 (2015-02-23)
  * the <include/> statement allows only for including stuff from the same <application> namespace. Sometimes access to arbitarary config trees of another application would be nice. Thinking about <import/> or similar. (2015-02-23)
