NAME

Catmandu::XML::Transformer - Utility module for XML/XSLT processing

SYNOPISIS

$transformer = Catamandu::XML::Transformer->new( stylesheet => 'file.xsl' );

$xml_string = $transformer->transform( $xml_string ); # SCALAR
$xml_dom    = $transformer->transform( $xml_dom );    # XML::LibXML::Document
$xml_struct = $transformer->transform( $xml_struct ); # ARRAY reference
$xml_simple = $transformer->transform( $xml_simple ); # HASH reference

$transformer = Catamandu::XML::Transformer->new( output_format => 'string' );
$xml_string  = $transformer->transform( $xml );       # any XML to SCALAR

CONFIGURATION

stylesheet

Zero or more XSLT files given as comma-separated list of files or array reference with multiple files to apply as transformation pipeline. Files are parsed once on instantiation of the Catmandu::XML::Transformer object.

output_format

Expected output format dom, string, struct, simple. By default the input format triggers the output format. If the last stylesheet has text output (<xsl:output method="text"/>) then output format is automatically set to string.

METHODS

stylesheet()

Returns an array reference of XSLT filenames used as transformation pipeline.

output_format()

Returns the output format or undef.
