"""Contains classes representing Atom elements.

  Module objective: provide data classes for Atom constructs. These classes hide
  the XML-ness of Atom and provide a set of native Python classes to interact
  with.

  Conversions to and from XML should only be necessary when the Atom classes
  "touch the wire" and are sent over HTTP. For this reason this module
  provides  methods and functions to convert Atom classes to and from strings.

  For more information on the Atom data model, see RFC 4287
  (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4287.txt)

  AtomBase: A foundation class on which Atom classes are built. It
      handles the parsing of attributes and children which are common to all
      Atom classes. By default, the AtomBase class translates all XML child
      nodes into ExtensionElements.

  ExtensionElement: Atom allows Atom objects to contain XML which is not part
      of the Atom specification, these are called extension elements. If a
      classes parser encounters an unexpected XML construct, it is translated
      into an ExtensionElement instance. ExtensionElement is designed to fully
      capture the information in the XML. Child nodes in an XML extension are
      turned into ExtensionElements as well.
