Every such element is represented by an Erlang record. Most of the library's code is auto generated and thus considered to be bug free and efficient. . The approach is very similar to ASN.1, Google Protocol Buffers or Apache Thrift: an XML element is transformed into internal language structure (an Erlang record in this case) - the process known as "decoding". During decoding, validation is also performed, thus well-typed structures are generated, potentially decreasing bugs related to handcrafted parsing. A reverse process known as "encoding" is applied for transforming an Erlang record into an XML element. . This package should be used along with erlang-p1-xml, because it is only able to decode from and encode to structures generated by that library (that is, xmlel() elements). . This library was written for ejabberd which still uses it. It was split off into its own project to follow Erlang/OTP guidelines.
