Detailed Description

Represents an XML document, which holds a collection of XMLNode as the document tree.

Each XMLNode may only belong to a single document, and each document can have only one root. XMLDocument is responsible for managing the lifetime of all elements in the document, by storing a shared pointer to the internal Registry data-store.

Data is stored using the Entity Component System (Entity Component System (ECS)) pattern, which is a data-oriented design optimized for fast data access and cache locality, particularly during rendering.

XMLDocument and XMLNode provide a facade over the ECS, and surface a familiar Document Object Model (DOM) API to traverse and manipulate the document tree, which is internally stored within Components in the ECS. This makes XMLNode a thin wrapper around an Entity, making the object lightweight and usable on the stack.
