NAME

Data::asXML - convert data structures to/from XML

SYNOPSIS

    use Data::asXML;
    my $dxml = Data::asXML->new();
    my $dom = $dxml->encode({
        'some' => 'value',
        'in'   => [ qw(a data structure) ],
    });

    my $data = $dxml->decode(q{
        <HASH>
            <KEY name="some"><VALUE>value</VALUE></KEY>
            <KEY name="in">
                <ARRAY>
                    <VALUE>a</VALUE>
                    <VALUE>data</VALUE>
                    <VALUE>structure</VALUE>
                </ARRAY>
            </KEY>
        </HASH>
    });

WARNING

experimental, use on your own risk :-)

DESCRIPTION

There are couple of modules mapping XML to data structures. (XML::Compile, XML::TreePP, XML::Simple, ...) but they aim at making data structures adapt to XML structure. This defines simple XML tags to represent data structures. It makes the serialization to (later also from) XML possible. For the moment it is an experiment. I plan to use it for passing data structures to XSLT for transformations.

PROPERTIES

pretty

(default 1) will insert text nodes to the XML to make the output indented.

METHODS

new()

Object constructor.

encode($what)

From structure $what generates XML::LibXML::Document DOM. Call ->toString to get XML string. For more actions see XML::LibXML.

decode($xmlstring)

Takes $xmlstring and converts to data structure.
