Catman...trings(3pm)

💖 Catmandu::Fix::wd_simple_strings 💖

okay bestie, so this whole page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation for the Catmandu::Fix::wd_simple_strings module — the manpage name is Catman...trings(3pm) if you're keeping score, and yes the name got squished like a cropped selfie. We're calling it by its real name anyway. ✨

It's short, it's sweet, it's giving "tiny module, big glow-up." Let's go. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

Catmandu::Fix::wd_simple_strings — this one simplifies the labels, descriptions, and aliases of Wikidata entity records. literally its whole personality. 💅

---

⭐ VERSION ⭐

version 0.06 — yeah, small number, big energy. 🦋

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so this is a Catmandu::Fix, and what it does is take a Wikidata entity record and simplify the labels, aliases, and descriptions. think of it as decluttering but for nested hashes, main character energy only.

in particular, bestie, it converts stuff that looks like this:

"en": { "language: "en", "value": "foo" }

"en": [ { "language: "en", "value": "foo" },
        { "language": "en", "value": "bar" } ]

into stuff that looks like this:

"en": "foo"

"en": ["foo","bar"]

look at that. nested objects and arrays of objects → plain strings and arrays of strings. ate. no cap. 🔥
