xml::um

UM(3pm) 						User Contributed Perl Documentation						   UM(3pm)

NAME

       XML::UM - Convert UTF-8 strings to any encoding supported by XML::Encoding

SYNOPSIS

	use XML::UM;

	# Set directory with .xml files that comes with XML::Encoding distribution
	# Always include the trailing slash!
	$XML::UM::ENCDIR = '/home1/enno/perlModules/XML-Encoding-1.01/maps/';

	# Create the encoding routine
	my $encode = XML::UM::get_encode (
	       Encoding => 'ISO-8859-2',
	       EncodeUnmapped => &XML::UM::encode_unmapped_dec);

	# Convert a string from UTF-8 to the specified Encoding
	my $encoded_str = $encode->($utf8_str);

	# Remove circular references for garbage collection
	XML::UM::dispose_encoding ('ISO-8859-2');

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides methods to convert UTF-8 strings to any XML encoding that XML::Encoding supports. It creates mapping routines from the
       .xml files that can be found in the maps/ directory in the XML::Encoding distribution. Note that the XML::Encoding distribution does
       install the .enc files in your perl directory, but not the.xml files they were created from. That's why you have to specify $ENCDIR as in
       the SYNOPSIS.

       This implementation uses the XML::Encoding class to parse the .xml file and creates a hash that maps UTF-8 characters (each consisting of
       up to 4 bytes) to their equivalent byte sequence in the specified encoding.  Note that large mappings may consume a lot of memory!

       Future implementations may parse the .enc files directly, or do the conversions entirely in XS (i.e. C code.)

get_encode (Encoding => STRING, EncodeUnmapped => SUB)
       The central entry point to this module is the XML::UM::get_encode() method.  It forwards the call to the global $XML::UM::FACTORY, which is
       defined as an instance of XML::UM::SlowMapperFactory by default. Override this variable to plug in your own mapper factory.

       The XML::UM::SlowMapperFactory creates an instance of XML::UM::SlowMapper (and caches it for subsequent use) that reads in the .xml
       encoding file and creates a hash that maps UTF-8 characters to encoded characters.

       The get_encode() method of XML::UM::SlowMapper is called, finally, which generates an anonimous subroutine that uses the hash to convert
       multi-character UTF-8 blocks to the proper encoding.

dispose_encoding ($encoding_name)
       Call this to free the memory used by the SlowMapper for a specific encoding.  Note that in order to free the big conversion hash, the user
       should no longer have references to the subroutines generated by get_encode().

       The parameters to the get_encode() method (defined as name/value pairs) are:

       o   Encoding

	   The name of the desired encoding, e.g. 'ISO-8859-2'

       o   EncodeUnmapped (Default: &XML::UM::encode_unmapped_dec)

	   Defines how Unicode characters not found in the mapping file (of the specified encoding) are printed.  By default, they are converted
	   to decimal entity references, like '&#123;'

	   Use &XML::UM::encode_unmapped_hex for hexadecimal constants, like '&#xAB;'

CAVEATS

       I'm not exactly sure about which Unicode characters in the range (0 .. 127) should be mapped to themselves. See comments in XML/UM.pm near
       %DEFAULT_ASCII_MAPPINGS.

       The encodings that expat supports by default are currently not supported, (e.g. UTF-16, ISO-8859-1), because there are no .enc files
       available for these encodings.  This module needs some more work. If you have the time, please help!
