This namespace contains XML-related functions to make the BCD-UI library work on different browsers' XML implementation. These functions deal with the following issues:
- XML Document creation
Factory functions for creating XML documents, parsing and serialization and creating XSLT processors.
- XML Manipulation + IE API Compatibility
The Mozilla / Webkit XML classes are augmented so that they implement the IE-compatible interface. Then the users can focus on this API only.
- Namespace handling
Align the handling of XML namespaces and prefixes so that the well-known BCD-UI prefixes as well as user prefixes can be used in the JavaScript API.
