NAME

AnyData2 - access to data in many formats

SYNOPSIS

    use AnyData2 ();

    my $ad = AnyData2->new( $src_format => { %src_format_flags },
                            $src_storage => { %src_storage_flags } );
    my $ad_out = AnyData2->new( $tgt_format => { %tgt_format_flags },
                                $tgt_storage => { %tgt_storage_flags } );
    while( my $datum = $ad->read ) {
        $ad_out->write( $datum );
    }

DESCRIPTION

The rather wacky idea behind this module is that any data, regardless of source or format should be accessible and maybe modifiable with the same simple set of methods.

AnyData2 is reduced to the maximum, all extended features like tied access, import from a different source, automatic conversion on export etc. should be done in external logic. This will make the core more maintainable.

METHODS

new

  my $af = AnyData->new(
    CSV              => {},
    "File::Linewise" => { filename => File::Spec->catfile( $test_dir, "simple.csv" ) }
  );

Instantiates a combination of AnyData::Storage and AnyData::Parser.

AnyData::Parser:: and AnyData::Storage:: are automatically prepended when necessary.
