Catmandu::Fix::Bind::hashmap - a binder to add key/value pairs to an internal hashmap

SYNOPSIS

# Find all ISBN in a stream
do hashmap(exporter: JSON, join: ',')
   copy_field(isbn,key)
   copy_field(_id,value)
end

# will export to the YAML exporter a hash map containing all isbn occurrences in the stream

{ "_id": "ISBN1" , "value": "0121,12912,121" }
{ "_id": "ISBN2" , "value": "102012" }

# Count the number of ISBN occurrences in a stream
# File: count.fix:
do hashmap(count: 1)
   copy_field(isbn,key)
end

# Use the Null exporter to suppress the normal output
$ cat /tmp/data.json | catmandu convert JSON --fix count.fix to Null

DESCRIPTION

The hashmap binder will insert all key/value pairs given to a internal hashmap that can be exported using an Catmandu::Exporter.

If the key is an ARRAY, then multiple key/value pairs will be inserted into the hashmap.

By default all the values will be added as an array to the hashmap. Every key will have one or more values.
