Catman...r::raw(3pm)

💖 Catmandu::Importer::SRU::Parser::raw — the 3pm girlie edition 💖

okay bestie so this is a Perl manual page (a 3pm, meaning it's user contributed Perl documentation, the little section of the Perl man pages where the CPAN girlies live) and it's for Catmandu::Importer::SRU::Parser::raw. The whole package is basically: SRU responses walk in, a plain Perl hash walks out. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

Catmandu::Importer::SRU::Parser::raw — the package that transforms SRU responses into a Perl hash. that's the whole job. she's simple, she's effective, she's iconic. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the vibe, literally copy-paste this energy:

my $importer = Catmandu::Importer::SRU->new(
  base => 'http://www.unicat.be/sru',
  query => '(isbn=0855275103 or isbn=3110035170 or isbn=9010017362 or isbn=9014026188)',
  recordSchema => 'marcxml',
  parser => 'raw',
);

see that parser => 'raw'? that's her. that's the moment she enters the group chat. ✨

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so what she does is: every single SRU record gets transformed into a Perl hash, and that hash is carrying these fields, bestie, take notes 📝:

• recordSchema — the SRU record schema. you can peek at it at <http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/recordSchemas/> if you're feeling academic 🎀
• recordPacking — the SRU format. she can be 'string' or she can be 'xml', both are valid, both are slaying 💅
• recordPosition — the result number, aka her place in line, aka her ranking 🏆
• recordData — the unparsed record payload. raw. untouched. exactly how she came into this world. 🙈

like, no extra processing, no glow-up, no filter — the data arrives and she hands it to you exactly as-is. it's giving honesty. it's giving transparency. we love a parser with nothing to hide. 💜
