        my $lido = Lido::XML->new;

DESCRIPTION

    LIDO is an XML Schema for Contributing Content to Cultural Heritage
    Repositories. The Lido::XML parser is a software tool that understands
    the Lido Schema and can parse the content of Lido XML files into a Perl
    hash and back.

DISCLAIMER

     * I'm not a LIDO expert.
     * This project was created as part of the L<Catmandu> project as an example how to create a XML parser based on a known XSD Schema.
     * All the heavy work is done by the excellent L<XML::Compile> package.
     * I invite other developers to contribute to this code.
