XML::SimpleObject Description

XML::SimpleObject is a Perl extension allowing a simple object representation of a parsed XML::Parser tree. XML::SimpleObject is a Perl extension allowing a simple object representation of a parsed XML::Parser tree.SYNOPSIS use XML::SimpleObject; # Construct with the key/value pairs as argument; this will create its # own XML::Parser object. my $xmlobj = new XML::SimpleObject(XML => $XML, ErrorContext => 2); # ... or construct with the parsed tree as the only argument, having to # create the XML::Parser object separately. my $parser = new XML::Parser (ErrorContext => 2, Style => "Tree"); my $xmlobj = new XML::SimpleObject ($parser->parse($XML)); my $filesobj = $xmlobj->child("files")->child("file"); $filesobj->name; $filesobj->value; $filesobj->attribute("type"); %attributes = $filesobj->attributes; @children = $filesobj->children; @some_children = $filesobj->children("some"); @chilren_names = $filesobj->children_names;This is a short and simple class allowing simple object access to a parsed XML::Parser tree, with methods for fetching children and attributes in as clean a manner as possible. My apologies for further polluting the XML:: space; this is a small and quick module, with easy and compact usage. See XML::SimpleObject::LibXML for the same interface for XML::LibXML.USAGE$xmlobj = new XML::SimpleObject($parser->parse($XML)) $parser is an XML::Parser object created with Style "Tree": my $parser = new XML::Parser (ErrorContext => 2, Style => "Tree");After creating $xmlobj, this object can now be used to browse the XML tree with the following methods.$xmlobj->child('NAME') This will return a new XML::SimpleObject object using the child element NAME.$xmlobj->children('NAME') Called with an argument NAME, children() will return an array of XML::SimpleObject objects of element NAME. Thus, if $xmlobj represents the top-level XML element, 'children' will return an array of all elements directly below the top-level that have the element name NAME.$xmlobj->children Called without arguments, 'children()' will return an array of XML::SimpleObject s for all children elements of $xmlobj. These are not in the order they occur in the XML document.$xmlobj->children_names This will return an array of all the names of child elements for $xmlobj. You can use this to step through all the children of a given element (see EXAMPLES). Each name will occur only once, even if multiple children exist with that name.$xmlobj->value If the element represented by $xmlobj contains any PCDATA, this method will return that text data.$xmlobj->attribute('NAME') This returns the text for an attribute NAME of the XML element represented by $xmlobj.$xmlobj->attributes This returns a hash of key/value pairs for all elements in element $xmlobj.
