Class Method Details

.for(type, class_name) ⇒ Object

Takes a type (Symbol, String or Class) passed in from a ‘.node` method call and the name of the class it was called in. The latter is needed to correctly assign the namespace if the type is given in String form. Returns a class, either one of the native `AwesomeXML` types or a user-defined class. Raises an exception if `type` is given as a Symbol, but does not represent one of the native types.
