NAME
Bio::Variation::IO::xml - XML sequence variation input/output stream
SYNOPSIS
Do not use this module directly. Use it via the Bio::Variation::IO class.
DESCRIPTION
This object can transform Bio::Variation::SeqDiff objects to and from XML file databases.
The XML format, although consistent, is still evolving. The current DTD for it is at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/mutations/DTDE/seqDiff.dtd.
REQUIREMENTS
To use this code you need the module XML::Twig which creates an interface to XML::Parser to read XML and modules XML::Writer and IO::String to write XML out.
