App::Serializer::Perl - Interface for serialization and deserialization
use App; $context = App->context(); $serializer = $context->service("Serializer"); # or ... $serializer = $context->serializer(); $data = { an => 'arbitrary', collection => [ 'of', 'data', ], of => { arbitrary => 'depth', }, }; $perl = $serializer->serialize($data); $data = $serializer->deserialize($perl); print $serializer->dump($data), "\n";
A Serializer allows you to serialize a structure of data of arbitrary depth to a scalar and deserialize it back to the structure.
The Perl serializer uses perl data structure syntax as the serialized form of the data. It uses the Data::Dumper module from CPAN to perform the deserialization and serialization.
