Please note that this function can take an optionnal argument (0 or 1) and if it's set to 1 this method return a XML string instead of the XML::LibXML::Document object.

toXML

Serialize

This method simply call the good to(JSON|XML|KML) depending of the output format you selected.

You can eventually pass extra arguments, they will be relayed.

$location->Serialize(1); # if the output is set to XML or KML you will have a stringified XML as output

Serialyze (OBSOLETE)

This method is just an alias to Serialize(), it is kept for backward compatibility only.

Please use the Serialize() method, this one is meant to be removed.
