Config:...or::XML(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Config::Generator::XML — Config::Generator XML support 💖

hey bestie, welcome to the Config:...or::XML(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation 🫶 this is the whole vibe, no cap.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so this module eases XML content generation by giving you several functions that generate XML abstractions — xml_blank(), xml_comment(), xml_element(), xml_parse() and xml_wrap() — plus one function that converts those abstractions into strings: xml_string() 💅

⚠️ Note: only a subset of XML is supported. This means that this module is not suited for HTML generation.

🎀 FUNCTIONS 🎀

This module provides the following functions (none of them being exported by default) 👑

• xml_blank() — return an XML abstraction representing a blank line 🩷
• xml_comment(STRING) — return an XML abstraction representing a comment 💬
• xml_element(NAME[, ATTR[, BODY]]) — return an XML abstraction representing an element:
  • ATTR: defines the attributes as a hash or array reference
  • BODY: defines the body as a string or list of XML abstractions
• xml_parse(STRING) — parse the given string (that must contain well formed XML) and return the list of XML abstractions it contains 🔍
• xml_string(ELEMENT[, OPTIONS]) — return the string representation of the given XML abstraction; supported options are:
  • "indent" — how many spaces to prepend to each line (default: 0)
  • "line" — maximum line length (longer lines will be wrapped)
  • "sort" — which elements to have their attributes sorted differently, as a hash: name => sorting function
  • "split" — which elements to split (i.e. to have their attributes split on different lines), as a hash: name => boolean
• xml_wrap(NAMES, ELEMENTS) — wrap the given XML elements into nested elements of the given names (with no attributes) 🎁
