XML::SimpleObject::LibXML Description

XML::SimpleObject::LibXML is a Perl extension allowing a simple(r) object representation of an XML::LibXML DOM object. XML::SimpleObject::LibXML is a Perl extension allowing a simple(r) object representation of an XML::LibXML DOM object.SYNOPSIS use XML::SimpleObject::LibXML; # Construct with the key/value pairs as argument; this will create its # own XML::LibXML object. my $xmlobj = new XML::SimpleObject::LibXML(XML => $XML); my $xmlobj = new XML::SimpleObject::LibXML(file => "./listing.xml"); my $xmlobj = new XML::SimpleObject::LibXML(); # empty DOM # ... or construct with the parsed tree as the only argument, having to # create the XML::LibXML object separately. my $parser = new XML::LibXML; my $dom = $parser->parse_file($file); my $xmlobj = new XML::SimpleObject::LibXML ($dom); my $filesobj = $xmlobj->child("files")->child("file"); # read values $filesobj->name; $filesobj->value; $filesobj->attribute("type"); %attributes = $filesobj->attributes; @children = $filesobj->children; @some_children = $filesobj->children("some"); @children_names = $filesobj->children_names; # set values $filesobj->name("Files"); # set name $filesobj->value("test"); # set text value $filesobj->attribute("type", "bin"); # set existing attribute's value # add/delete nodes $filesobj->add_child ("owner" => "me"); # add new element $filesobj->add_attribute ("size" => "4"); # add new attribute $filesobj->delete; # unbinds node from parent # document processing $xmlobj->replace_names_values(xpath => "/files/file/title", value => "places.txt", name => "newtitle"); $xmlobj->delete_nodes(xpath => "/files/file/size"); # output $xmlobj->output_xml; $xmlobj->output_xml_file("./newfile.xml");This is a short and simple class allowing simple object access to a parsed XML::LibXML tree, with methods for fetching children and attributes in as clean a manner as possible. My apologies for further polluting the XML:: space; this is a small and quick module, with easy and compact usage. Some will rightfully question placing another interface over the DOM methods provided by XML::LibXML, but my experience is that people appreciate the total simplicity provided by this module, despite its limitations. These limitations include a minor loss of speed compared to the DOM, loss of control over node types, and protection (aka lack of knowledge) about the DOM. I encourage those who want more control and understanding over the DOM to study XML::LibXML; this module's source can be instructive, too. Requirements: · Perl
