Class `Syntax`
==============

[](#class-syntax)

Constants for (fragments of) regular expressions corresponding to syntax productions in the XML specifications.

Class `XName`
=============

[](#class-xname)

Implementation of the concept of an [expanded name](https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names/#dt-expname) in XML with namespaces.

The constructor simply takes a namespace name and a local name as input. For the sake of performance, the syntactic correctness of the parameters is not checked.

Static factory methods are provided to create expanded names, among others from a [qualified names](https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names/#dt-qualname).

A `__toString()` method is provided to create strings from `XName`s, which are useful, among others, to use `XName`s as array indices.

Interface `HavingXNameInterface`
================================

[](#interface-havingxnameinterface)

Simple interface for objects (such as XML Schema items) that have an expanded name.
