XML::R...lement(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

XML::RSS::LibXML::MagicElement — the icon of representing a non-trivial RSS element 💅✨

okay so bestie, this is a manual page for XML::RSS::LibXML::MagicElement(3pm), and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of your perldoc, no cap 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

like, here's the whole vibe, fr fr:

us XML::RS::LibXML::MagicElement;
my $xml = XML::RSS::LibXML::MagicElement->new(
  content => $textContent,
  attributes => \@attributes
);

(yes the first line really does say us XML::RS::LibXML::MagicElement; — that's a typo in the original, don't come for me, I'm just the messenger 😭)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This module is a handy little object, and the way it lets you access non-trivial RSS elements in XML::RSS style is genuinely giving main character energy 💖

so imagine you've got an RSS feed with an element that looks like this:

<channel>
  <title>Example</title>
  <tag attr1="foo" attr2="bar">baz</tag>
  ...
</channel>

getting at the title element? easy peasy, iconic, no thoughts:

$rss->{channel}->{title};

but that second tag? lowkey it was slightly non-trivial to grab 🙈

enter this module. with it, <tag> gets parsed as a XML::RSS::LibXML::MagicElement object, and then you can access all the elements like so:

$rss->{channel}->{tag};  # "baz"
$rss->{channel}->{tag}->{attr1}; # "foo"
$rss->{channel}->{tag}->{attr2}; # "bar"

slay. obsessed. periodt 👑

🎀 METHODS 🎀

💜 new

Create a new MagicElement object. fresh out the box, brand new, 💅

💜 attributes

Returns the list of attributes associated with this element. all of them. the whole squad 🫶

💜 toString

Returns the string representation of this object.

By default we use the "text content" of the found tag, but for XML::RSS compatibility, we use the concatenation of the attributes if no content is found. yep, that's the rule, that's the whole rule ✨
