XML::Li...Fragment(3)

💖 XML::LibXML::DocumentFragment 💖

okay so bestie, this is the XML::LibXML::DocumentFragment page — it's XML::LibXML's take on the DOM L2 Document Fragment Implementation, and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual (section 3, perl land, iykyk) 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use XML::LibXML;

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no cap. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this class is a helper class, exactly as described in the DOM Level 2 Specification — it's giving very official, very spec-compliant, very demure 🎀

here's the tea: it's implemented as a node without a name. like, a node that simply chose not to have a name. main character energy fr fr 👑

and the way that all the adding, inserting, or replacing functions are now aware of document fragments? obsessed. genuinely iconic. they know. they always know. ✨

also — and this part is lowkey important — all unbound nodes (which is just a fancy way of saying all nodes that do not belong to any document sub-tree) are implicit members of document fragments. so if a node isn't attached to anything, it's not just floating there being sad, it's part of a document fragment. found family trope but for DOM nodes 🫶
