<p>Main XML Element class.</p>
<p>Element children are accessed as object attributes. Multiple children
with the same name are available through a list index. Example:</p>
<pre class="rst-literal-block">
>>> root = XML("<root><c1><c2>0</c2><c2>1</c2></c1></root>")
>>> second_c2 = root.c1.c2[1]
>>> print(second_c2.text)
1
</pre>
<p>Note that you cannot (and must not) instantiate this class or its
subclasses.</p>
