# 4C3HOH1 - XML::Tidy.pm created by Pip Stuart <Pip@CPAN.Org>
# to tidy XML documents as parsed XML::XPath objects.
=head1 NAME
XML::Tidy - tidy indenting of XML documents
=head1 VERSION
This documentation refers to version 1.0.4CAAf5B of
XML::Tidy, which was released on Fri Dec 10 10:41:05:11 2004.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use XML::Tidy;
# create new XML::Tidy object from MainFile.xml
my $tidy_obj = XML::Tidy->new('filename' => 'MainFile.xml');
# Tidy up the indenting
$tidy_obj->tidy();
# Write out changes back to MainFile.xml
$tidy_obj->write();
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module creates XML document objects (with inheritance from
L<XML::XPath>) to tidy mixed-content (ie. non-data) text node
indenting.
=head1 2DO
=over 2
=item - mk tidy keep doc order when duping attz, namespaces,
(hopefully someday PIs) into temp $docu && $tnod
=item - What else does Tidy need?
=back
=head1 USAGE
=head2 new()
This is the standard Tidy object constructor. It can take
the same parameters as an L<XML::XPath> object constructor to
initialize the XML document object. These can be any one of:
'filename' => 'SomeFile.xml'
'xml' => $variable_which_holds_a_bunch_of_XML_data
'ioref' => $file_InputOutput_reference
'context' => $existing_node_at_specified_context_to_become_new_obj
=head2 reload()
The reload() member function causes the latest data contained in
a Tidy object to be re-parsed which re-indexes all nodes.
This can be necessary after modifications have been made to nodes
which impact the tree node hierarchy because L<XML::XPath>'s find()
member preserves state info which can get out-of-sync. reload() is
probably rarely useful by itself but it is needed by strip() &&
prune() so it is exposed as a method in case it comes in handy for
other uses.
=head2 strip()
The strip() member function searches the Tidy object for all
mixed-content (ie. non-data) text nodes && empties them out.
This will basically unformat any markup indenting. strip() is
probably barely useful by itself but it is needed by tidy() &&
is exposed as a method in case it comes in handy for other uses.
It does make XML files smaller (sometimes significantly so) if
you don't care about human readability.
=head2 tidy()
The tidy() member function can take a single optional parameter as
the string that should be inserted for each indent level. Some
examples:
# Tidy up indenting with default two (2) spaces per indent level
$tidy_obj->tidy();
# Tidy up indenting with one (1) space per indent level
$tidy_obj->tidy(' ');
# Tidy up indenting with four (4) spaces per indent level
$tidy_obj->tidy(' ');
# Tidy up indenting with one (1) tab per indent level
$tidy_obj->tidy("\t");
# Tidy up indenting with two (2) tabs per indent level
$tidy_obj->tidy("\t\t");
# Ruin KAKA indenting with some KAKA non-whitespace string! KAKA!
$tidy_obj->tidy("KA"); # this does damage so backup XML first
The default behavior is to use two (2) spaces (ie. ' ') for each
indent level. The Tidy object gets all mixed-content (ie. non-data)
text nodes reformatted to appropriate indent levels according to tree
nesting depth.
NOTE: There seems to be a bug in L<XML::XPath> which does not allow
finding XML processing instructions (PIs) properly so they have been
commented out of tidy(). This means that tidy() unfortunately
removes processing instructions from files it operates on. I hope
this shortcoming can be repaired in the near future. tidy() also
disturbs some XML escapes in whatever ways L<XML::XPath> does.
=head2 prune()
The prune() member function takes an XPath location to remove (along
with all attributes && child nodes) from the Tidy object. For
example, to remove all comments:
$tidy_obj->prune('//comment()');
or to remove the third baz (XPath indexing is 1-based):
$tidy_obj->prune('/foo/bar/baz[3]');
Pruning your XML tree is a form of tidying too so it snuck in here. =)
It seems L<XML::XPath> objects are dramatically more useful when they
all have access to this class of additional member functions.
=head2 write()
The write() member function can take an optional filename parameter
to write out any changes to the Tidy object. If no parameters
are given, write() overwrites the original XML document file (if
a 'filename' parameter was given to the constructor).
write() will croak() if no filename can be found to write to.
write() can also take a secondary parameter which specifies an XPath
location to be written out as the new root element instead of the
Tidy object's root. Only the first matching element is written.
=head1 CHANGES
Revision history for Perl extension XML::Tidy:
=over 4
=item - 1.0.4CAAf5B Fri Dec 10 10:41:05:11 2004
* removed 2nd param from tidy() so that 1st param is just indent string
* fixed pod errors
=item - 1.0.4C9JpoP Thu Dec 9 19:51:50:25 2004
* added xplc option to write()
* added prune()
=item - 1.0.4C8K1Ah Wed Dec 8 20:01:10:43 2004
* inherited from XPath so that those methods can be called directly
* original version (separating Tidy.pm from Merge.pm)
