XMLON encoder

Serialize variables to simple XML format used by old 37signals APIs, _(*1)

• element names are translated from camelCase to dash-case (optional)
• objects and strings have no type attribute
• datetime with zero time is exported as 'date' type
• if no name of root element is given "data" is used
• supports only UTF-8 encoding
• does not support namespaces or any other fancy XML features

PHP:, _(*2)

(object) [
  'intVal' => 123,
  'floatVal' => 456.789,
  'boolVal' => TRUE,
  'dateVal' => new DateTime('2013-10-10'),
  'timeVal' => new DateTime(),
  'arrayVals' => ['Hello', 'World']
]
