File::...er::Raw(3pm)

💖 File::KDBX::Loader::Raw 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page straight outta the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's about File::KDBX::Loader::Raw. yes that name is long. yes it's worth it. let's go ✨

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.906 — that's the one we're vibing with here 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use File::KDBX::Loader;

my $kdbx = File::KDBX::Loader->load_file('file.kdbx', $key, inner_format => 'Raw');
print $kdbx->raw;

literally that's it. look at her. so clean 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture a typical KDBX file, right? it's got two whole sections living in it:

• an outer section — this is the one with the headers on it 👑
• an inner section — this is the one with the actual body 🫶

now normally, the inner section gets loaded with File::KDBX::Loader::XML. that's the standard move. that's the usual main character.

BUT. and this is the fun part. you can use the File::KDBX::Loader::Raw loader instead, and it will not parse the body at all. zero parsing. none. it just hands you the raw body content, untouched, unbothered, moisturised ✨

it's a no-op loader fr fr — that's the whole bit.

so when is this giving? two moments, and they're both kinda iconic:

• for debugging 🐛 — sometimes you just wanna look at the raw stuff, y'know?
• for creating KDBX files with arbitrary content — and for that one, go peek at File::KDBX::Dumper::Raw 💜

not me being a loader that doesn't load anything. and yet. slay.
