=head1 NAME
Tree::Simple::Visitor::ToNestedHash - A Visitor for creating nested hash trees from Tree::Simple objects.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Tree::Simple::Visitor::ToNestedHash;
my $visitor = Tree::Simple::Visitor::ToNestedHash->new();
# given this Tree::Simple tree
my $tree = Tree::Simple->new("Root")
->addChildren(
Tree::Simple->new("Child1")
->addChildren(
Tree::Simple->new("GrandChild1"),
Tree::Simple->new("GrandChild2")
),
Tree::Simple->new("Child2"),
);
$tree->accept($visitor);
my $array_tree = $visitor->getResults();
# this then creates the equivalent nested array tree:
# {
# Root => {
# Child1 => {
# GrandChild1 => {},
# GrandChild2 => {}
# },
# Child2 => {}
# }
# }
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Given a tree constructed from a Tree::Simple hierarchy, this Visitor will create the equivalent tree of nested hashes.
=head1 METHODS
=over 4
=item B<new>
There are no arguments to the constructor the object will be in its default state. You can use the C<setNodeFilter> and C<includTrunk> methods to customize its behavior.
=item B<includTrunk ($boolean)>
Setting the C<$boolean> value to true (C<1>) will cause the node value of the tree's root to be included in the nested hash output, setting it to false will do the opposite.
=item B<setNodeFilter ($filter_function)>
This method accepts a CODE reference as its C<$filter_function> argument and throws an exception if it is not a code reference. This code reference is used to filter the tree nodes as they are placed into the hash tree. The C<$filter_function> is passed a Tree::Simple object, and is expected to return the value desired for inclusion into the hash tree.
=item B<visit ($tree)>
This is the method that is used by Tree::Simple's C<accept> method. It can also be used on its own, it requires the C<$tree> argument to be a Tree::Simple object (or derived from a Tree::Simple object), and will throw and exception otherwise.
=item B<getResults>
This method will return the hash tree constructed.
