NAME
RandomJungle::File::XML - Low level access to the data in the RandomJungle XML output file
VERSION
Version 0.06
SYNOPSIS
RandomJungle::File::XML provides access to the data contained within RandomJungle's XML output file. See RandomJungle::Jungle and RandomJungle::Tree for higher-level methods.
use RandomJungle::File::XML;
my $xml = RandomJungle::File::XML->new( filename => $xmlfile ) || die $RandomJungle::File::XML::ERROR;
$xml->parse || die $xml->err_str;
my $file = $xml->get_filename; # returns the filename of the XML file
my $href = $xml->get_RJ_input_params; # all the input params that were used for RJ
my $aref = $xml->get_tree_ids; # sorted numerically
my $href = $xml->get_tree_data; # data for all trees (not RJ::Tree objects)
my $href = $xml->get_tree_data( tree_id => $id ) || warn $xml->err_str;
my $href = $xml->get_data; # for debugging only; returns raw data structs
# Error handling
$xml->set_err( 'Something went boom' );
my $msg = $xml->err_str;
my $trace = $xml->err_trace;
METHODS
new()
Creates and returns a new RandomJungle::File::XML object:
my $xml = RandomJungle::File::XML->new( filename => $xmlfile );
The 'filename' parameter is required. Sets $ERROR and returns undef on failure.
parse()
Parses the XML file specified in new():
my $retval = $xml->parse;
Returns a true value on success. Sets err_str and returns undef on failure.
get_filename()
Returns the name of the XML file specified in new():
my $file = $xml->get_filename;
get_RJ_input_params()
Returns a href containing the input parameters that were used when Random Jungle was run:
my $href = $xml->get_RJ_input_params; # $href->{$param_name} = $param_value;
This method calls parse() if it has not already been called.
get_tree_ids()
Returns an aref of tree IDs (sorted numerically):
my $aref = $xml->get_tree_ids;
This method calls parse() if it has not already been called.
get_tree_data()
Returns an href of tree records (not RandomJungle::Tree objects):
my $href = $xml->get_tree_data; # data for all trees
my $href = $xml->get_tree_data( tree_id => $id );
If called without parameters, records for all trees will be returned. The tree_id parameter can be used to get a single record (returns undef if $id is invalid).
This method calls parse() if it has not already been called.
$href has the following structure: $tree_id id => $tree_id, var_id_str => varID string from XML, e.g., '((490,967,1102,...))' values_str => values string from XML, e.g., '(((0)),((0)),((1)),...)' branches_str => branches string from XML, e.g., '((1,370),(2,209),(3,160),...)'
$href is suitable for passing to RandomJungle::Tree->new().
get_data()
Returns the data structures contained in $self:
my $href = $xml->get_data;
This method is for debugging only and should not be used in production code.
set_err()
Sets the error message (provided as a parameter) and creates a stack trace:
$xml->set_err( 'Something went boom' );
err_str()
Returns the last error message that was set:
my $msg = $xml->err_str;
err_trace()
Returns a backtrace for the last error that was encountered:
my $trace = $xml->err_trace;
