NAME

XML::Compile::Schema::XmlWriter - bricks to translate HASH to XML

SYNOPSIS

 my $schema = XML::Compile::Schema->new(...);
 my $code   = $schema->compile(WRITER => ...);

DESCRIPTION

The translator understands schema's, but does not encode that into actions. This module implements those actions to translate from a (nested) Perl HASH structure onto XML.

DETAILS

Processing Wildcards

Complex elements can define any (element) and anyAttribute components, with unpredictable content. In this case, you are quite on your own in processing those constructs. The use of both schema components should be avoided: please specify your data-structures explicit by clean type extensions.

The procedure for the XmlWriter is simple: add key-value pairs to your hash, in which the valie is a fully prepared XML::LibXML::Attr or XML::LibXML::Element. The keys have the form {namespace}type. The namespace component is important, because only spec confirmant namespaces will be used. The type is ignored. The elements and attributes are added in random order.

Example: specify anyAttribute

 my $attr = $doc->createAttributeNS($somens, $sometype, 42);
 my $h = { a => 12     # normal element or attribute
         , "{$somens}$sometype" => $attr # anyAttribute
         };
