/**
\class TBufferXML
\ingroup IO

Class for serializing/deserializing object to/from xml.

The simple way to create XML representation is:
~~~{.cpp}
   TNamed *obj = new TNamed("name", "title");
   TString xml = TBufferXML::ToXML(obj);
~~~
Produced xml can be decoded into new object:
~~~{.cpp}
   TNamed *obj2 = nullptr;
   TBufferXML::FromXML(obj2, xml);
~~~

TBufferXML class uses streaming mechanism, provided by ROOT system,
therefore most of ROOT and user classes can be stored to xml.
There are limitations for complex objects like TTree, which can not be converted to xml.
