NAME

Config::Generator::XML - Config::Generator XML support

DESCRIPTION

This module eases XML content generation by providing several functions to generate XML abstractions (xml_blank(), xml_comment(), xml_element(), xml_parse() and xml_wrap()) and one function to convert these abstractions into strings (xml_string()).

Note: only a subset of XML is supported. This means that this module is not suited for HTML generation.

FUNCTIONS

This module provides the following functions (none of them being exported by default):

xml_blank()

return an XML abstraction representing a blank line

xml_comment(STRING)

return an XML abstraction representing a comment

xml_element(NAME[, ATTR[, BODY]])

return an XML abstraction representing an element:

  • ATTR: defines the attributes as a hash or array reference

  • BODY: defines the body as a string or list of XML abstractions

xml_parse(STRING)

parse the given string (that must contain well formed XML) and return the list of XML abstractions it contains

xml_string(ELEMENT[, OPTIONS])

return the string representation of the given XML abstraction; supported options:

  • indent: how many spaces to prepend to each line (default: 0)

  • line: maximum line length (longer lines will be wrapped)

  • sort: which elements to have their attributes sorted differently, as a hash: name => sorting function

  • split: which elements to split (i.e. to have their attributes split on different lines), as a hash: name => boolean

xml_wrap(NAMES, ELEMENTS)

wrap the given XML elements into nested elements of the given names (with no attributes)
