NAME

XML::GSA - Creates xml in google search appliance (GSA) format

VERSION

Version 0.07

SYNOPSIS

This is a lib that allows one to create xml in Google Search Appliance (GSA) format.

You can use this lib in the following way:

use XML::GSA;

my $gsa = XML::GSA->new('base_url' => 'http://foo.bar');
my $xml = $gsa->create(
    [   {   'action'  => 'add',
            'records' => [
                {   'url'      => '/aaa',
                    'mimetype' => 'text/plain',
                    'action'   => 'delete',
                },
                {   'url'      => '/bbb',
                    'mimetype' => 'text/plain',
                    'metadata' => [
                        { 'name' => 'og:title', 'content' => 'BBB' },
                    ],
                }
            ],
        },
    ]
);
print $xml;

Which will output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE gsafeed PUBLIC "-//Google//DTD GSA Feeds//EN" "">
<gsafeed>
    <header>
        <datasource>Source</datasource>
        <feedtype>incremental</feedtype>
    </header>
    <group action="add">
        <record action="delete" url="http://www.foo.bar/aaa" mimetype="text/plain"></record>
        <record url="http://www.foo.bar/bbb" mimetype="text/plain">
            <metadata>
                <meta content="BBB" name="og:title"></meta>
            </metadata>
        </record>
    </group>
</gsafeed>

METHODS

new( $params )

Create a new XML::GSA object:

my $gsa = XML::GSA->new('base_url' => 'http://foo.bar');

Arguments of this method are an anonymous hash of parameters:

datasource

Defines the datasource to be included in the header of the xml.

type

Defines the type of the feed. This attribute tells the feed what kind of attributes the records are able to receive.

base_url

Defines a base url to be preppended to all records' urls.

type( $value )

Getter/setter for the type attribute of GSA feed. By default it is 'incremental'. Possible values are 'incremental', 'full' or 'metadata-and-url'

datasource( $value )

Getter/setter for the datasource attribute of GSA feed. By default it is 'web'.

base_url( $value )

Getter/setter for the base_url attribute of GSA feed. This is an url that will be preppended to all record urls. If a base_url is not defined, one must pass full urls in the records data structure.

create( $data )

Receives an arrayref data structure where each entry represents a group in the xml, generates an xml in GSA format and returns it as a string. Important note: All data passed to create must be in unicode! This class will utf-8 encode it making it compatible with GSA.

One can have has many group has one wants, and a group is an hashref with an optional key 'action' and a mandatory key 'records'. The key 'action' can have the values of 'add' or 'delete' and the 'records' key is an array of hashrefs.

Each hashref in the array corresponding to 'records' can have the following keys:

* Mandatory
    * url
    * mimetype => (text/plain|text/html) - in the future it will also support other mimetype
* Optional
    * action            => (add|delete)
    * lock              => (true|false)
    * displayurl        => an url
    * last-modified     => a well formatted date as string
    * authmethod        => (none|httpbasic|ntlm|httpsso)
    * pagerank          => an int number
    * crawl-immediately => (true|false)
    * crawl-once        => (true|false)

create

Creates the xml using the groups already added to the object.

add_group( $group )

Receives an hashref data structure representing a group and adds it to the current feed - you must call the `create` method with no arguments to have the xml updated. A group is an hashref with an optional key 'action' and a mandatory key 'records'. The key 'action' can have the values of 'add' or 'delete' and the 'records' key is an array of hashrefs.

Each hashref in the array corresponding to 'records' can have the following keys:

* Mandatory
    * url
    * mimetype => (text/plain|text/html) - in the future it will also support other mimetype
* Optional
    * action            => (add|delete)
    * lock              => (true|false)
    * displayurl        => an url
    * last-modified     => a well formatted date as string
    * authmethod        => (none|httpbasic|ntlm|httpsso)
    * pagerank          => an int number
    * crawl-immediately => (true|false)
    * crawl-once        => (true|false)

Important note: All data passed must be in unicode! This class will utf-8 encode it making it compatible with GSA.

add_group( $group )

Receives an instance of the class XML::GSA::Group and adds it to the current feed - you must call the `create` method with no arguments to have the xml updated.

clear_groups

Empties the property `groups` of this class.
