Parser(3pm)

📦 version 2.1.1, in arch rolling

✨ NAME ✨

ok so this is Parser(3pm) from LogReport's Lire documentation, and it's literally the glow-up machine for your config files 💅 — Lire::Config::Parser creates a Lire::Config::ConfigFile object out of XML. yep, XML in, fancy object out. slay.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bestie, here's the whole vibe:

use Lire::Config;
use Lire::Config::Parser;

my $parser = new Lire::Config::Parser( 'spec' => Lire::Config->config_spec());
my $conf = $parser->parsefile( 'config.xml' );

like… make the parser, feed it the file, get the config. that's it. iconic.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so it's a "rather straightforward" XML parser — the docs said it, not me — and what it does is follow the configuration specification to parse an XML file. no cap, it's exactly that: spec goes in, parser reads XML according to that spec, good things come out 🦋

💖 new( 'spec' => $spec )

Creates a parser object ✨ and this parser is gonna parse configuration files that validate against the Lire::Config::ConfigSpec specification $spec. so like, the spec is the rules and the parser is the girl who actually reads them. main character energy fr fr.

🫶 load_config_file( $file )

Parses the $file XML file and returns a Lire::Config::ConfigFile object representing it. that's the whole trick — you hand it a filename, it hands you back the object version of that file. obsessed 😭
