NAME

XML::WriterX::Simple - Make XML production simpler.

VERSION

version 0.151401

SYNOPSIS

Make XML production simpler, just like XML::Simple with attributes, comments and processing instructions.

use XML::Writer;
use XML::WriterX::Simple;

my $writer = new XML::Writer(OUTPUT => \*STDOUT, DATA_INDENT => 1, DATA_MODE => 1);
$writer->xmlDecl('UTF-8');

$writer->produce( docTag => [   #an ARRAY ref will produce ordered children
        ':attr' => [ id => 42, time => localtime() ], 
        '"' => \&simple_producer,
        '#foobar' => "comment after content tag",
        footer => { 
            ':name' => 'bar',   #unordered arguments
            ':id'   => 6*7,
            '"' => 'Text content',
            child1 => 'val1',
            child2 => 'val2',
        }, #An hash ref may produce unordered children.
        '#foobar' => "comment after footer tag",
    ]
);

sub simple_producer{
    my ($writer, $tag) = @_;
    $writer->characters( 'foobar' );
    $writer->produce( dumy => [ ':attr1' => 'valattr1', child1 => 'valchild1', '"' => 'text1' ] );
}

NAME

XML::WriterX::Simple - Make XML production simpler.

EXPORT

The only exposed methods is the produce method, injected in XML::Writer namespace.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

XML::Writer::produce( $writer, $tagName => $tagContent )

Produce XML tag of name $tagName with content generated by ... arguments depending on there name and forms.

The $tagName can begin with :

- a '#' to produce a comment
- a '?' to produce a processing instruction
- a ':' to produce a attribute (when $tagContent is not an ARRAY/HASH)
- a '.' when it is associated with a CODEREF, so it won't produce the tag itself.

or to produce orderd attributes, use the following:

':attr' => [ name => value, ... ]

To produce a text content, use $tagName = '"' (one double quote).

To produce an empty tag, provide an undef $content value.

The $tagContent can be any value such as SCALAR, ARRAY, HASH or CODE.

#TODO: improve documentation here.

When a tag content is :

- a SCALAR reference (not blessed) or a SCALAR, 
- a ARRAY reference (not blessed), 
- a HASH reference (not blessed), 
- a CODE reference, then the start-tag will be generated before to call the CODE and the end-tag tag will be produce after that call, but only f the tag does NOT begin with a DOT (.).
- anything else, producer will use the perl built in stringification.

stringify

Internal use, return argument(s) in a flattened format.

arrange_args ( $writer, %arguments )

Internal use, split arguments into @attr[ibutes], @children and $text.

produce_content ( $writer, $tag, $content )

Internal use, will produce the tag content.
