-XML::DOM::DocumentFragment - Facilitates cut & paste in XML::DOM documents
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-XML::DOM::DocumentFragment extends L<XML::DOM::Node>
-
-DocumentFragment is a "lightweight" or "minimal" Document object. It is
-very common to want to be able to extract a portion of a document's
-tree or to create a new fragment of a document. Imagine implementing a
-user command like cut or rearranging a document by moving fragments
-around. It is desirable to have an object which can hold such fragments
-and it is quite natural to use a Node for this purpose. While it is
-true that a Document object could fulfil this role, a Document object
-can potentially be a heavyweight object, depending on the underlying
-implementation. What is really needed for this is a very lightweight
-object. DocumentFragment is such an object.
-
-Furthermore, various operations -- such as inserting nodes as children
-of another Node -- may take DocumentFragment objects as arguments; this
-results in all the child nodes of the DocumentFragment being moved to
-the child list of this node.
-
-The children of a DocumentFragment node are zero or more nodes
-representing the tops of any sub-trees defining the structure of the
-document. DocumentFragment nodes do not need to be well-formed XML
-documents (although they do need to follow the rules imposed upon
-well-formed XML parsed entities, which can have multiple top nodes).
-For example, a DocumentFragment might have only one child and that
-child node could be a Text node. Such a structure model represents
-neither an HTML document nor a well-formed XML document.
-
-When a DocumentFragment is inserted into a Document (or indeed any
-other Node that may take children) the children of the DocumentFragment
-and not the DocumentFragment itself are inserted into the Node. This
-makes the DocumentFragment very useful when the user wishes to create
-nodes that are siblings; the DocumentFragment acts as the parent of
-these nodes so that the user can use the standard methods from the Node
-interface, such as insertBefore() and appendChild().
