DESCRIPTION

A package item is a collection of news items, that are published together. The structure of packages is flexible to support nested groups of items - please see the NewsML-G2 specification for details.

Each package item is built up by one root group, which is an instance of XML::NewsML_G2::Group.

ATTRIBUTES

title Optional title of the package.

root_group

Upon creation of the package item, a new, empty XML::NewsML_G2::Group is created and stored in the root_group attribute.

root_role

The root group needs a role that specifies the type of content the package contains. Defaults to 'main'.

root_id

All groups are identified by IDs. This attribute is used to name the root group - all other groups are named automatically. Defaults to 'root_group'.

METHODS
