NAME

Text::Tradition::Parser::GraphML

SYNOPSIS

use Text::Tradition;

my $t_from_file = Text::Tradition->new( 
  'name' => 'my text',
  'input' => 'Self',
  'file' => '/path/to/tradition.xml'
  );
  
my $t_from_string = Text::Tradition->new( 
  'name' => 'my text',
  'input' => 'Self',
  'string' => $tradition_xml,
  );

DESCRIPTION

Parser module for Text::Tradition to read in its own GraphML output format. GraphML is a relatively simple graph description language; a 'graph' element can have 'node' and 'edge' elements, and each of these can have simple 'data' elements for attributes to be saved.

The graph itself has attributes as in the Collation object:

• linear

• ac_label

• baselabel

• wit_list_separator

The node objects have the following attributes:

• name

• reading

• identical

• rank

• class

The edge objects have the following attributes:

• class

• witness (for 'path' class edges)

• extra (for 'path' class edges)

• relationship (for 'relationship' class edges)

• equal_rank (for 'relationship' class edges)

• non_correctable (for 'relationship' class edges)

• non_independent (for 'relationship' class edges)

METHODS

parse

parse( $graph, $opts );

Takes an initialized Text::Tradition object and a set of options; creates the appropriate nodes and edges on the graph. The options hash should include either a 'file' argument or a 'string' argument, depending on the source of the XML to be parsed.

BUGS / TODO

• Make this into a stream parser with GraphML
