NAME

WebService::Hexonet::Connector::ResponseParser - Library that provides functionality to parse plain-text API response data into Hash format and to serialize it back to plain-text format if necessary.

SYNOPSIS

This module is internally used by the WebService::Hexonet::Connector::Response module. To be used in the way:

# specify the API plain-text response (this is just an example that won't fit to the command above)
$plain = "[RESPONSE]\r\nCODE=200\r\nDESCRIPTION=Command completed successfully\r\nEOF\r\n";

# parse a plain-text response into hash
$hash = WebService::Hexonet::Connector::ResponseParser::parse($plain);

# serialize that hash format back to plain-text
$plain = WebService::Hexonet::Connector::ResponseParser::serialize($hash);

DESCRIPTION

HEXONET Backend API always responds in plain-text format that needs to get parsed into a useful data structure. Within automated tests we also need the reverse way to serialize a parsed response back to plain-text. This module cares about exactly all that.

Methods

parse( $plain )

Returns the parsed API response as Hash. Specifiy the plain-text API response as $plain.

serialize( $hash )

Returns the serialized API response as string. Specifiy the hash notation of the API response as $hash.
