NAME

THIS MODULE ONLY WORKS FOR A NARROW USE CASE RIGHT NOW. ALSO, INTERFACE CHANGES ARE LIKELY.

Data::Processor - Transform Perl Data Structures, Validate Data against a Schema, Produce Data from a Schema, or produce documentation directly from information in the Data

SYNOPSIS

use Data::Processor;
# XXX

DESCRIPTION

Data::Processor is a tool for transforming, verifying, and producing Perl data structures from / against a schema, defined as a Perl data structure.

METHODS

new

my $processor = Data::Processor->new($schema);

optional parameters: - indent: count of spaces to insert when printing in verbose mode. Default 4 - depth: level at which to start. Default is 0. - verbose: Set to a true value to print messages during processing.

validate Validate the data against a schema. The schema either needs to be present already or be passed as an argument.

my @errors = $processor->validate($data, verbose=>0);

validate_schema

check that the schema is valid

transform_data

Transform one key in the data according to rules specified as callbacks that themodule calls for you. Transforms the data in-place.

my $validator = Data::Processor::Validator->new($schema, data => $data)
my $error_string = $processor->transform($key, $validator);

This is not tremendously useful at the moment, especially because validate() transforms during validation.

make_data

UNIMPLEMENTED

my ($data, @errors) = $processor->make_data(data=>$data);

make_pod

Write descriptive pod from the schema.

my $pod_string = $processor->make_pod();
