NAME

Tree::Persist::File::XML - a handler for Tree persistence

SYNOPSIS

Please see Tree::Persist for how to use this module.

DESCRIPTION

This module is a plugin for Tree::Persist to store a Tree to an XML file.

PARAMETERS

This class requires no additional parameters than are specified by its parent, Tree::Persist::File.

XML SPEC

The XML used is very simple. Each element is called "node". The node contains two attributes - "class", which represents the Tree class to build this node for, and "value", which is the serialized value contained in the node (as retrieved by the value() method.) Parent-child relationships are represented by the parent containing the child.

NOTE: This plugin will currently only handle values that are strings or have a stringification method.

TODO

  • Currently, the value is not XML-encoded.
