# Class XmlNamer

source code

Initialize me with a DOM node or a DOM document node (the toplevel node you get when parsing an XML file). Then use me to generate fully qualified XML names.

    >>> xml = '<office:document-styles xmlns:office="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:office:1.0"></office>'
    >>> from lxml import etree
    >>> namer = XmlNamer(etree.fromstring(xml))
    >>> namer.name('office', 'blah')
    {urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:office:1.0}blah
    >>> namer.name('office:blah')
    {urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:office:1.0}blah

I can also give you XmlNamespace objects if you give me the abbreviated namespace name. These are useful if you need to reference a namespace continuously.

    >>> office_ns = name.namespace('office')
    >>> office_ns.name('foo')
    {urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:office:1.0}foo
