class XML::Mini::Node

Nodes are used as atomic containers for numerical and text data and act as leaves in the XML tree.

They have no name or children.

They always exist as children of XML::MiniElements. For example, <B>this text is bold</B> Would be represented as a XML::MiniElement named 'B' with a single child, a Node object which contains the string 'this text is bold'.
