uri =

Element's namespace URI

name =

Element's local name

defaultUri =

Default namespace URI of child elements

attributes =

Dictionary of element attributes

children =

List of child nodes

parent =

Reference to element's parent element

localPrefixes =

Dictionary of local prefixes

def toXml(prefixes=None, closeElement=1, defaultUri='', prefixesInScope=None):

Serializes object to a (partial) XML document

Parameters	prefixes	dictionary that maps namespace URIs to suggested prefix names. (type: `dict`)
	closeElement	flag that determines whether to include the closing tag of the element in the serialized string. A value of `0` only generates the element's start tag. A value of `1` yields a complete serialization. (type: `int`)
	defaultUri	Initial default namespace URI. This is most useful for partial rendering, where the logical parent element (of which the starttag was already serialized) declares a default namespace that should be inherited. (type: `unicode`)
	prefixesInScope	list of prefixes that are assumed to be declared by ancestors. (type: `list`)
Returns	(partial) serialized XML (type: `unicode`)

def addElement(name, defaultUri=None, content=None):

Create an element and add as child.

The new element is added to this element as a child, and will have this element as its parent.

Parameters	name	element name. This can be either a `unicode` object that contains the local name, or a tuple of (uri, local_name) for a fully qualified name. In the former case, the namespace URI is inherited from this element. (type: `unicode` or `tuple` of (`unicode`, `unicode`))
	defaultUri	default namespace URI for child elements. If `None`, this is inherited from this element. (type: `unicode`)
	content	text contained by the new element. (type: `unicode`)
Returns	the created element (type: object providing `IElement`)

def addChild(node):

Adds a node as child of this element.

The node will be added to the list of childs of this element, and will have this element set as its parent when node provides IElement. If node is a unicode and the current last child is character data (unicode), the text from node is appended to the existing last child.

Parameters node the child node. (type: unicode or object implementing IElement)

def addContent(text):

Adds character data to this element.

If the current last child of this element is a string, the text will be appended to that string. Otherwise, the text will be added as a new child.

Parameters text The character data to be added to this element. (type: unicode)
