NAME
CatalystX::RequestModel::ContentBodyParser - Content Parser base class
SYNOPSIS
TBDDESCRIPTION
Base class for content parsers. Basically we need the ability to take a given POSTed or PUTed (or PATCHed even I guess) content body and normalized it to a hash of data that can be used to instantiate the request model. As well you need to be able to read the meta data for each field and do things like flatten arrays (or inflate them, etc) and so forth.
This is lightly documented for now but there's not a lot of code and you can refer to the packaged subclasses of this for hints on how to deal with your odd incoming content types.
EXCEPTIONS
This class can throw the following exceptions:
Invalid JSON in value
If you mark an attribute as "expand=>'JSON'" and the value isn't valid JSON then we throw an CatalystX::RequestModel::Utils::InvalidJSONForValue exception which if you are using CatalystX::Errors will be converted into a HTTP 400 Bad Request response (and also logging to the error log the JSON parsing error).
Invalid request parameter not indexed
If a request parameter is marked as indexed but no indexed values (not arrayref) are found we throw CatalystX::RequestModel::Utils::InvalidRequestNamespace
Invalid request no namespace
If your request model defines a namespace but there's no matching namespace in the request we throw a CatalystX::RequestModel::Utils::InvalidRequestNamespace.
