RDF::DOAP::Lite(3pm)

💖 RDF::DOAP::Lite 💖

okay bestie so this is RDF::DOAP::Lite, a Perl module (3pm manual page, yes we're in the Perl docs, it's giving vintage and honestly iconic) and its whole job is: write DOAP data quickly and easily. that's the name and that's the vibe. periodt.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

look at this. it's so clean. it's so short. it ATE.

use CPAN::Changes;
use CPAN::Meta;
use RDF::DOAP::Lite;

my $changes = CPAN::Changes->load('Changes');
my $meta    = CPAN::Meta->load_file('META.json');
my $doap    = RDF::DOAP::Lite->new(meta => $meta, changes => $changes);

$doap->doap_ttl('doap.ttl');
$doap->doap_xml('doap.xml');

like. five lines. your DOAP is written. no cap. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this is a lil companion module to RDF::DOAP, and its whole personality is letting you output DOAP data easily from standard CPAN distribution files. it's the sidekick. the bestie. the ride-or-die. 🫶

💅 The Straight DOAP 💅

okay so first of all, what even is DOAP? this explanation is lifted from Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOAP> (credit where credit's due, we don't steal).

DOAP (Description of A Project) is an RDF Schema and XML vocabulary to describe software projects, specifically free and open source software. it's the glow-up your project metadata deserves.

it was created and initially developed by Edd Dumbill to convey semantic information associated with open source software projects. king behaviour honestly 👑

it is currently used in the Mozilla Foundation's project page and in several other software repositories, notably the Python Package Index. so like... it's everywhere. main character vocabulary energy.

🎀 Constructor 🎀

• new(%attributes) — a Moose-style constructor. and yes, before you ask: (though this module does not use Moose). it just serves the same energy. 💅

🧚 Attributes 🧚

• meta — this one is required, bestie. it's a CPAN::Meta object. no meta, no DOAP, sorry, that's the rules.
• changes — this one is optional. it's a CPAN::Changes object. bring it if you got it. 💖

⭐ Methods ⭐

• doap_ttl($file) — writes DOAP data in the Turtle serialization to the file. the file can be a filename (a string) or a file handle. your choice, we don't judge. 🐢✨
• doap_xml($file) — writes DOAP data in the RDF/XML serialization to the file. and same deal: the file may be provided as a filename (string) or a file handle. 🌈
