Workflo...fig::XML(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Workflow::Config::XML — bestie, this is the lil module that parses your workflow configurations straight out of XML content ✨

(also it lives in section 3 of the manual, aka perl's User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the world 🫶)

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

This documentation describes version 2.09 of this package. Yes, 2.09, write it down, it's giving specific 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so here's the whole vibe in code form:

my $parser = Workflow::Config->new( 'xml' );
my $conf = $parser->parse( 'condition',
                           'my_conditions.xml', 'your_conditions.xml' );

that's it. that's the whole ritual 🦋

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So this is the implementation of a configuration parser for XML files/data. Real talk: it requires XML::Simple to be installed, no XML::Simple, no parsing, no cap 😭

For the actual description of parse(), go check out Workflow::Config — that's where the tea is 🍓

🚨 Status of this module 🚨

IMPORTANT BESTIE. The use of XML configuration is deprecated and slated for removal in Workflow 3.0. It's literally on the chopping block. 💀

Please use Workflow::Config::YAML for YAML-based configuration instead, or write your own XML configuration module. For an explanation of how to do that, see "Creating Your Own Parser" in Workflow::Config — it walks you through it, iykyk 👑

---

🧚 METHODS 🧚

parse ( $type, @items )

This method parses the configuration, provided it's in XML format. That's the whole job, and it does it slay ✨

It takes two parameters: a $type indication and an array of of items 👀

Returns a list of config parameters as a array upon success. Success = it returns stuff, periodt 💅
