XML::Hash::XS - Simple and fast hash to XML conversion
use XML::Hash::XS; my $xmlstr = hash2xml \%hash; hash2xml \%hash, output => $FH;
This module implements simple hash to XML converter written in C using libxml2 library.
$hash is reference to hash
hash2xml { node1 => 'value1', node2 => [ 'value21', { node22 => 'value22' } ], node3 => \'value3', node4 => sub { return 'value4' }, node5 => sub { return { node51 => 'value51' } }, }, canonical => 1, indent => 2, ;
will convert to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <root> <node1>value1</node1> <node2>value21</node2> <node2> <node22>value22</node22> </node2> <node3>value3</node3> <node4>value4</node4> <node5> <node51>value51</node51> </node5> </root>
and (use_attr=1):
hash2xml { node1 => 'value1', node2 => [ 'value21', { node22 => 'value22' } ], node3 => \'value3', node4 => sub { return 'value4' }, node5 => sub { return { node51 => 'value51' } }, }, use_attr => 1, canonical => 1, indent => 2, ;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <root node1="value1" node3="value3" node4="value4"> <node2>value21</node2> <node2 node22="value22"/> <node5 node51="value51"/> </root>
Root node name.
XML document version
XML output encoding
if indent great than "0", XML output should be indented according to its hierarchic structure. This value determines the number of spaces.
if indent is "0", XML output will all be on one line.
XML output method
if output is undefined, XML document dumped into string.
if output is FH, XML document writes directly to a filehandle or a stream.
if canonical is "1", converter will be write hashes sorted by key.
if canonical is "0", order of the element will be pseudo-randomly.
if use_attr is "1", converter will be use the attributes.
if use_attr is "0", converter will be use tags only.
if defined that the key name for the text content(used only if use_attr=1).
