ElementType         type description of a XML element
Term                high level representation of the XML term
XmlTerm             term representing an XML term

Examples

term2xml(
    n1(n2(-atom), a2 = number, a1 = integer, n3(a3 = atom)),
    n1(n2(hello), 1.0, 0, n3(z)),
    XmlTerm).

->

XmlTerm = element(n1, [a1 = '0', a2 = '1.0'], [
       element(n2, [], [chardata('hello')]),
       element(n3, [a3 = 'z'], [])])
