ONVIF:...ceType(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

ONVIF::Media::Types::EndpointReferenceType — it's a whole Perl data type class, bestie, and it lives in the ONVIF::Media::Types corner of the perl manual (the page itself is titled ONVIF:...ceType(3pm), if you're out here searching for it 💅).

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so. This is a Perl data type class for the XML Schema defined complexType EndpointReferenceType, and it comes from the namespace http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing. That's it, that's the whole job. It's giving "I exist so your SOAP stuff doesn't fall apart" and honestly? Respect. 👑

---

🌸 PROPERTIES 🌸

These are the properties you can get at with get_PROPERTY / set_PROPERTY methods. Periodt:

• Address — yes queen, the address
• ReferenceParameters — the reference parameters, as one does
• Metadata — the metadata ✨

⚠️ heads up bestie: the name of the Metadata property has been altered, because the original name didn't match perl's notion of variable/subroutine names. The altered name is used in perl code only — the XML output still uses the original name. No cap, don't come for me, that's just how it is. 🫶

💖 METHODS 💖

🎀 new

Constructor, obviously. The following data structure may be passed to new():

 { # ONVIF::Media::Types::EndpointReferenceType
   Address =>  { value => $some_value },
   ReferenceParameters =>  { # ONVIF::Media::Types::ReferenceParametersType
   },
   Metadata =>  { # ONVIF::Media::Types::MetadataType
   },
 },

Look at that nesting. The way ReferenceParameters and Metadata just sit there, empty and full of potential. Iconic. 🦋
