Overview

This class is required to represent Nodes that contain attributes as well as other content, for example: <karin zak=“lebt”>schon</karin> We cannot non-ambigiously represent this node as a hash because Hashes may contain arbitrary keys. Having a separate class for representing such nodes allows for easy testing for the class (which we have to do anyway since hash values may be Strings, Arrays or other Hashes already) Update: No need for testing when using the iterable method. Usage: LibXmlNode.new(“karin”, “zak”)
