NAME

WAP::wbxml - Binarization of XML file

SYNOPSIS

use XML::DOM;
use WAP::wbxml;

$parser = new XML::DOM::Parser;
$doc_xml = $parser->parsefile($infile);

$rules = WbRules->Load();
$wbxml = new WbXml($rules,$publicid);
$output = $wbxml->compile($doc_xml,$encoding);

DESCRIPTION

This module implements binarisation of XML file according the specification :

WAP - Wireless Application Protocol / Binary XML Content Format Specification / Version 1.3 WBXML (15th May 2000 Approved)

The XML input file must refere to a DTD with a public identifier.

The file WAP/wbrules.xml configures this tool for all known DTD.

This module needs Data::Dumper, I18N::Charset and XML::DOM modules.

WAP Specifications, including Binary XML Content Format (WBXML) are available on <http://www.wapforum.org/>.

new

$wbxml = new WbXml($rules,$publicid);

Create a instance of WBinarizer for a specified kind of DTD.

If the DTD is not known in the rules, default rules are used.

compile

$output = $wbxml->compile($doc_xml,$encoding);

Compiles a XML document.

outfile

$filename = $wbxml->outfile($infile);

Builds output filename with the good extension.

Load

$rules = WbRules->Load();

Loads rules from WAP/wbrules.xml or WAP/wbrules.pl.

WAP/wbrules.pl is a serialized version (Data::Dumper).

WAP/wbrules.xml supplies rules for WAP files, but it could extended to over XML applications.
