XML::G...ointer(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

XML::Grove::XPointer — a deprecated module that was once upon a time intended for XPointer 💀

Bestie, the header at the top of this page is squishing the whole thing down to XML::G...ointer(3pm), and it's living under User Contributed Perl Documentation, so you already know this is giving archive-core. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

THIS MODULE IS USED BY XML::Grove::Path, it does not implement any
current version of XPointer

Not me reading the synopsis and finding out it literally says it doesn't do the thing. 😭 No shame, it's just honest. It's used by XML::Grove::Path, and it does not implement any current version of XPointer. That's the whole vibe check, fr fr.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: this module implements a very tiny portion of an old draft of XPointer. Like, a crumb. A lil sliver. 🍓

XML::Grove::Path still uses this module — so it's not fully abandoned, bestie, it's still on the payroll 💅 — but both modules are gonna be obsolete the moment a real XPath and XPointer module becomes available. That's the plan. That's the arc. 🌈

No new features, no glow-up, just legacy holding down the fort until the real ones arrive. Periodt.

And that's a wrap, gorgeous 🌸 this little relic was shipped as part of perl v5.36.0, dated 2022-11-29, under User Contributed Perl Documentation. Deprecated, tiny, and still clocking in — iconic behaviour honestly 🎀✨
