=head1 NAME
Froody::Response::XML - create a response from a XML::LibXML document
=head1 SYNOPSIS
my $response = Froody::Response::XML->new()
->structure($froody_method)
->xml($xml_doc);
print $response->render;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is a concrete implementation of Froody::Response. It takes its input
from an XML::LibXML::Document.
use XML::LibXML;
my $xml_doc = XML::LibXML::Document->new( "1.0", "utf-8" );
# create the rsp
my $rsp = $xml_doc->createElement("rsp");
$rsp->setAttribute("stat", "ok");
$xml_doc->setDocumentElement($rsp);
# add the child node foo
my $foo = $xml_doc->createElement("foo");
$foo->appendText("bar"); # note, must pass bytes in the above encoding
$rsp->appendChild($foo);
my $rsp = Froody::Response::XML->new()
->structure($froody_method)
->xml($xml_doc);
You can get and set the current XML document by usinc C<xml>. We only hold
a reference to the data so you can modify the XML after you've assigned it
to the response and it'll still effect that response. This means the
above could be re-ordered as:
use XML::LibXML;
my $xml_doc = XML::LibXML::Document->new( "1.0", "utf-8" );
my $rsp = Froody::Response::XML->new()
->structure($froody_method)
->xml($xml_doc);
# create the rsp
my $rsp = $xml_doc->createElement("rsp");
$rsp->setAttribute("stat", "ok");
$xml_doc->setDocumentElement($rsp);
# add the child node foo
my $foo = $xml_doc->createElement("foo");
$foo->appendText("bar"); # note, must pass bytes in the above encoding
$rsp->appendChild($foo);
And it'll work just as fine. This does however mean you should be careful
about re-using XML::LibXML objects between responses.

=head2 Converting other Responses to Froody::Response::XML objects
Once you've loaded this class you can automatically convert other
Froody::Response class instances to Froody::Response::XML objects with
the C<as_xml> method.
use Froody::Response::String;
use Froody::Response::XML;
my $string = Froody::Response::String
->new()
->structure($froody_method)
->set_bytes($bytes);
->as_xml;
print ref($string); # prints "Froody::Response::XML"
=cut
# rendering this class
# as_xml is documented
sub as_xml { return $_[0] }
sub Froody::Response::as_xml
{
my $self = shift;
my $parser = XML::LibXML->new();
my $rendered = $self->render
or Froody::Error->throw('froody.invoke.badresponse', "No XML returned from call");
my $doc = eval { $parser->parse_string($rendered) } or die "$rendered";
my $xml = Froody::Response::XML->new();
$xml->xml($doc);
$xml->structure($self->structure) if $self->structure;
return $xml;
}
