NAME

Search::Query::Dialect - query dialect base class

SYNOPSIS

my $query = Search::Query->parser->parse('foo');
print $query;

DESCRIPTION

Search::Query::Dialect is the base class from which all query dialects inherit.

A Dialect subclass must implement at least two methods:

stringify

Returns the serialized query tree.

stringify_leaf( leaf )

Returns one leaf of a serialized query tree.

See Search::Query::Dialect::Native for a working example.

METHODS

This class is a subclass of Rose::ObjectX::CAF. Only new or overridden methods are documented here.

stringify

All subclasses must override this method. The default behavior is to croak.

tree

Returns the query Dialect instance as a hashref structure, similar to that of Search::QueryParser.
