XML::E...nsform(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is XML::Easy::Tranform — XML processing with a clean interface. that's it, that's the whole vibe. periodt. ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the "XML::Easy::Transform::" namespace is literally just a container home for modules that do transformations on XML documents — or on parts of them — in the form of XML::Easy::Element and XML::Easy::Content nodes. that's the whole job. it's giving "designated hangout spot for transform modules." 🎀

XML::Easy is a collection of modules all about processing XML data. it's got functions to parse and serialise the standard textual form of XML. but here's the thing — when XML data is not in text form, XML::Easy processes it in an abstract syntax-neutral form, as a collection of linked Perl objects. 👑

this in-program data format shields XML users from the infelicities of XML syntax. iykyk — syntax is lowkey a menace and this format is out here protecting you from it. modules under the "XML::Easy::Transform::" namespace operate on XML data in this abstract structured form, not on textual XML. no text, no drama. 💅

a transformation on XML data should normally be presented in the form of a function, which takes an XML::Easy::Element node as its main parameter, and returns an XML::Easy::Element node (or dies on error 😭). so like: element in, element out, or dramatic death. main character energy fr fr.

the input node and output node each represent the root element of the XML document (or fragment thereof) being transformed. these nodes, of course, contain subordinate nodes, according to the structure of the XML data. and the slay part? a reference to the top node is all that's required to effectively pass the whole document. one lil reference, whole document handled. iconic. 🦋
