Detailed Description

XML format exporter class.

Provides logic for writing XML tags and data inside appropriate callbacks. Subclasses should define XML data sinks.

begin_database_export()

xml_database_exporter::begin_database_export	(		$version,
			$release,
			$timestamp,
			$description
	)

Callback function.

Outputs open XML PI and moodle_database opening tag.
