Data::...:Dumper(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

bestie. sit down. we're talking about Data::...:Dumper(3pm) — yes that's the whole name, that's how it shows up in the header, don't @ me — and what it does is create a bridge between Data::Serializer and XML::Dumper. that's it. that's the vibe. it's a little connector module, a lil matchmaker between two modules that needed an introduction 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so you use it like this, literally one line, no drama:

use Data::Serializer::XML::Dumper;

that's the whole synopsis. gorgeous. minimal. ate. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: this module is used internally to Data::Serializer. it's not out here trying to be the main character, it's the supporting bestie in the group chat 🫶

the only option currently supported is dtd. what does it do? it just calls the dtd method of XML::Dumper prior to serializing the data. that's the entire job description. you want the details? go read XML::Dumper(3), fr fr.

also inside there's:

• serialize — a wrapper to normalize the serializer method name
• deserialize — a wrapper to normalize the deserializer method name

so basically it's out here making sure the method names match up and nobody's confused. lowkey iconic honestly ✨
