Description
Graph::Reader::XML is a perl class used to read a directed graph stored as XML, and return an instance of
the Graph class.
The XML format is designed to support the Graph classes: it can be used to represent a single graph with
a collection of nodes, and edges between those nodes. The graph, nodes, and edges can all have
attributes specified,
Graph::Reader::XML is a subclass of Graph::Reader, which defines the generic interface for Graph reader
classes.
Known Bugs
Attribute values must be scalar. If they're not, well, you're on your own.
