NAME

Data::Format::Pretty - Pretty-print data structure

VERSION

version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

In your program:

use Data::Format::Pretty qw(format_pretty);

# automatically choose an appropriate formatter
print format_pretty($data);

# explicitly select a formatter
print format_pretty($data, {module=>'JSON'});

# specify formatter option(s)
print format_pretty($data, {module=>'Console', interactive=>1});

DESCRIPTION

Data::Format::Pretty is an extremely simple framework for pretty-printing data structure. Its focus is on "prettiness" and automatic detection of appropriate format to use.

To develop a formatter, look at one of the formatter modules (like Data::Format::Pretty::JSON) for example. You only need to specify one function, format_pretty.

FUNCTIONS

format_pretty($data, \%opts) => STR

Send $data to formatter module (one of Data::Format::Pretty::* modules) and return the result. Options:

  • module => STR

    Select the formatter module. It will be prefixed with "Data::Format::Pretty::".

    Currently if unspecified the default is 'Console', or 'HTML' if CGI/PSGI/plackup environment is detected. In the future, more sophisticated detection logic will be used.

The rest of the options will be passed to the formatter module.

SEE ALSO

One of Data::Format::Pretty::* formatter, like Data::Format::Pretty::Console, Data::Format::Pretty::HTML, Data::Format::Pretty::JSON, Data::Format::Pretty::YAML.

Alternative data formatting framework/module family: Any::Renderer.
