XML::Mini Description

XML::Mini is a Perl implementation of the XML::Mini XML create/parse interface. XML::Mini is a Perl implementation of the XML::Mini XML create/parse interface.SYNOPSIS use XML::Mini::Document; use Data::Dumper; ###### PARSING XML ####### # create a new object my $xmlDoc = XML::Mini::Document->new(); # init the doc from an XML string $xmlDoc->parse($XMLString); # You may use the toHash() method to automatically # convert the XML into a hash reference my $xmlHash = $xmlDoc->toHash(); print Dumper($xmlHash); # You can also manipulate the elements like directly, like this: # Fetch the ROOT element for the document # (an instance of XML::Mini::Element) my $xmlRoot = $xmlDoc->getRoot(); # play with the element and its children # ... my $topLevelChildren = $xmlRoot->getAllChildren(); foreach my $childElement (@{$topLevelChildren}) { # ... } ###### CREATING XML ####### # Create a new document from scratch my $newDoc = XML::Mini::Document->new(); # This can be done easily by using a hash: my $h = { 'spy' => { 'id' => '007', 'type' => 'SuperSpy', 'name' => 'James Bond', 'email' => 'mi5@london.uk', 'address' => 'Wherever he is needed most', }, }; $newDoc->fromHash($h); # Or new XML can also be created by manipulating #elements directly: my $newDocRoot = $newDoc->getRoot(); # create the < ? xml ?> header my $xmlHeader = $newDocRoot->header('xml'); # add the version $xmlHeader->attribute('version', '1.0'); my $person = $newDocRoot->createChild('person'); my $name = $person->createChild('name'); $name->createChild('first')->text('John'); $name->createChild('last')->text('Doe'); my $eyes = $person->createChild('eyes'); $eyes->attribute('color', 'blue'); $eyes->attribute('number', 2); # output the document print $newDoc->toString();This example would output : < ?xml version="1.0"? > < person> < name> < first> John < /first> < last> Doe < /last> < /name> < eyes color="blue" number="2" /> < /person>XML::Mini is a set of Perl classes that allow you to access XML data and create valid XML output with a tree-based hierarchy of elements. The MiniXML API has both Perl and PHP implementations.It provides an easy, object-oriented interface for manipulating XML documents and their elements. It is currently being used to send requests and understand responses from remote servers in Perl or PHP applications. An XML::Mini based parser is now being tested within the RPC::XML framework.XML::Mini does not require any external libraries or modules and is pure Perl. If available, XML::Mini will use the Text::Balanced module in order to escape limitations of the regex-only approach (eg "cross-nested" tag parsing).The Mini.pm module includes a number of variables you may use to tweak XML::Mini's behavior. These include:$XML::Mini::AutoEscapeEntities - when greater than 0, the values set for nodes are automatically escaped, thus $element->text('4 is > 3') will set the contents of the appended node to '4 is > 3'. Default setting is 1.$XML::Mini::IgnoreWhitespaces - when greater than 0, extraneous whitespaces will be ignored (maily useful when parsing). Thus Hello There will be parsed as containing a text node with contents 'Hello There' instead of ' Hello There '. Default setting is 1.$XML::Mini::CaseSensitive - when greater than 0, element names are treated as case sensitive. Thus, $element->getElement('subelement') and $element->getElement('SubElement') will be equivalent. Defaults to 0. Requirements: · Perl
