 * @short_description: XML save/restore operations of pipelines
 *
 * GStreamer pipelines can be saved to xml files using gst_xml_write_file().
 * They can be loaded back using gst_xml_parse_doc() / gst_xml_parse_file() / 
 * gst_xml_parse_memory().
 * Additionally one can load saved pipelines into the gst-editor to inspect the
 * graph.
 *
 * #GstElement implementations need to override gst_object_save_thyself() and
 * gst_object_restore_thyself().
