public interface XmlElement extends NamedElement, XmlLangElement
Interface to represent XML elements. Every XML element in XMPP has a qualified XML name (QName). This name can be obtained via getQName().

XMPP uses "extension elements", i.e. XML elements, to provide extended functionality beyond what is in the base XMPP specification. Examples of extensions elements include message events, message properties, and extra presence data. IQ stanzas have limited support for extension elements. See ExtensionElement for more information about XMPP extension elements.

It is recommend to use ExtensionElement over this class when creating new extension elements.
