=head1 NAME

Bio::TreeIO::phyloxml - TreeIO implementation for parsing PhyloXML format.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  # do not use this module directly
  use Bio::TreeIO;
  my $treeio = Bio::TreeIO->new(-format => 'phyloxml',
                                -file => 'tree.dnd');
  my $tree = $treeio->next_tree;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module handles parsing and writing of phyloXML format.

=head1 FEEDBACK

=head2 Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the
Bioperl mailing list.  Your participation is much appreciated.

  bioperl-l@bioperl.org                  - General discussion
  http://bioperl.org/wiki/Mailing_lists  - About the mailing lists

=head2 Support 

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and 
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly 
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem 
with code and data examples if at all possible.

=head2 Reporting Bugs

Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted viax the
web:

=head2 node_to_string

 Title   : node_to_string
 Usage   : $annotatablenode->to_string_callback(\&node_to_string)
 Function: set as callback in AnnotatableNode, prints the node information in string 
 Returns : string of node information
 Args    : none

=cut

# but it is not recursive

 Title   : print_annotation
 Usage   : $str = $annotatablenode->print_annotation($str, $annotationcollection)
 Function: prints the annotationCollection in a phyloXML format.
 Returns : string of annotation information
 Args    : string to which the Annotation should be concatenated to,
           annotationCollection that holds the Annotations

# reading and writing of the values and attributes.
# especially since this function is used both by 
# Bio::TreeIO::phyloxml (through write_tree) and 
# Bio::Node::AnnotatableNode (through node_to_string).
# but since tagTree is a temporary stub and I didn't want to make 
# a redundant object I've put it here for now.
