NAME
XML::LibXML::LazyBuilder - easy and lazy way to create XML document for XML::LibXML SYNOPSIS
use XML::LibXML::LazyBuilder; { package XML::LibXML::LazyBuilder; $d = DOM (E A => {at1 => "val1", at2 => "val2"}, ((E B => {}, ((E "C"), (E D => {}, "Content of D"))), (E E => {}, ((E F => {}, "Content of F"), (E "G"))))); } DESCRIPTION
You can describe XML documents like simple function call instead of using createElement, appendChild, etc... FUNCTIONS E E "tagname", \%attr, @children Creats CODEREF that generates "XML::LibXML::Element" which tag name is given by first argument. Rest arguments are list of text content or child element created by "E" (so you can nest "E"). Since the output of this function is CODEREF, the creation of actual "XML::LibXML::Element" object will be delayed until "DOM" function is called. DOM DOM &docroot, $var, $enc Generates "XML::LibXML::Document" object actually. First argument is a CODEREF created by "E" function. $var is version number of XML docuemnt, "1.0" by default. $enc is encoding, "utf-8" by default. EXPORT None by default. :all Exports "E" and "DOM". EXAMPLES I recommend to use "package" statement in a small scope so that you can use short function name and avoid to pollute global name space. my $d; { package XML::LibXML::LazyBuilder; $d = DOM (E A => {at1 => "val1", at2 => "val2"}, ((E B => {}, ((E "C"), (E D => {}, "Content of D"))), (E E => {}, ((E F => {}, "Content of F"), (E "G"))))); } Then, "$d->toString" will generate XML like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <A at1="val1" at2="val2"><B><C/><D>Content of D</D></B><E><F>Content of F</F><G/></E></A> SEE ALSO
