Data::AMF(3)

✨ Data::AMF ✨

okay bestie so Data::AMF is the module that serializes and deserializes AMF data, and it is literally so useful, i promise 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Data::AMF;

my $amf0 = Data::AMF->new( version => 0 );
my $amf3 = Data::AMF->new( version => 3 );

# AMF0 to Perl Object
my $obj = $amf0->deserialize($data);

# Perl Object to AMF0
my $data = $amf0->serialize($obj);

no cap, that's the whole vibe 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this module is a (de)serializer for Adobe's AMF (Action Message Format). iconic honestly.

Data::AMF is a core module and it recognizes only AMF data, not AMF packet. and the way that matters is… if you actually wanna read/write an AMF Packet, you should go see Data::AMF::Packet instead, bestie. that one's got you 🎀

---

💖 SEE ALSO 💖

• Data::AMF::Packet
• Catalyst::Controller::FlashRemoting

💀 NOTICE 💀

okay so not to be dramatic but… Data::AMF is currently in a very early alpha development stage. 😭

the current version does not support AMF3, and the application interface is still fluid. so like, don't build your whole personality on it yet, fr fr 🙈

---

🌈 METHOD 🌈

new(%option)

creates the Data::AMF object ✨

the option parameters are:

• version — the target AMF version. it should be 0 or 3. (and the default is 0, for AMF0, if you don't say anything) 💜

serialize($obj)

serializes the perl object ($obj) to AMF, and returns the AMF data. slay 🔥

deserialize($amf)

deserializes the AMF data to a perl object, and returns the perl object. main character energy honestly 👑
