NAME

XML::CAP - parse or generate the XML Common Alerting Protocol (CAP)

VERSION

Version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

XML::CAP parses and generates XML Common Alerting Protocol (CAP).

More information about CAP can be found at http://www.incident.com/cookbook/

Each XML CAP structure has an "alert" section. Each alert may contain zero (usually one) or more "info" sections. Each info section may contain zero or more "resource" and/or "area" sections. Each area section may contain zero or more "geocode" sections. All of these sections are represented by subclasses of XML::CAP.

XML::CAP uses XML::LibXML. There are accessor functions for every element. But using the elem() method, there is also direct access to the corresponding LibXML node.

Code sample:

use XML::CAP;
use XML::CAP::Parser;

my $parser = XML::CAP::Parser->new();
$parser->parse_file( "cap-file.xml" );
my $alert;
eval_wrapper ( sub { $alert = $parser->alert });

@alert_nodes = $alert->elem->childnodes; # access to XML::libXML data
$identifier = $alert->identifier;
$sender = $alert->sender;
$sent = $alert->sent;
$status = $alert->status;
$msgType = $alert->msgType;
$source = $alert->source;
$scope = $alert->scope;
$restriction = $alert->restriction;
$addresses = $alert->addresses;
$code = $alert->code;
$note = $alert->note;
$references = $alert->references;
$incidents = $alert->incidents;

my @infos = $alert->infos;
@info_nodes = $infos[0]->elem->childnodes; # access LibXML data
my $info = $infos[0];
$language = $info->language;
$category = $info->category;
$event = $info->event;
$responseType = $info->responseType;
$urgency = $info->urgency;
$severity = $info->severity;
$certainty = $info->certainty;
$audience = $info->audience;
$eventCode = $info->eventCode;
$effective = $info->effective;
$onset = $info->onset;
$expires = $info->expires;
$senderName = $info->senderName;
$headline = $info->headline;
$description = $info->description;
$instruction = $info->instruction;
$web = $info->web;
$contact = $info->contact;
$parameter = $info->parameter;

my @resources = $info->resources;
@resource_nodes = $resources[0]->elem->childnodes; # access LibXML data
my $resource = $resources[0];
$resourceDesc = $resource->resourceDesc;
$mimeType = $resource->mimeType;
$size = $resource->size;
$uri = $resource->uri;
$derefUri = $resource->derefUri;
$digest = $resource->digest;

my @areas = $info->areas;
@area_nodes = $areas[0]->elem->childnodes; # access LibXML data
my $area = $areas[0];
$areaDesc = $area->areaDesc;
$polygon = $area->polygon;
$circle = $area->circle;
$altitude = $area->altitude;

my @geocodes = $area->geocodes;
@geocode_nodes = $geocodes[0]->elem->childnodes; # access LibXML data
my $geocode = $geocodes[0];
$valueName = $geocode->valueName;
$value = $geocode->value;
