XML::Easy::Transform(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation XML::Easy::Transform(3pm) NAME
XML::Easy::Tranform - XML processing with a clean interface DESCRIPTION
The "XML::Easy::Transform::" namespace exists to contain modules that perform transformations on XML documents, or parts thereof, in the form of XML::Easy::Element and XML::Easy::Content nodes. XML::Easy is a collection of modules relating to the processing of XML data. It includes functions to parse and serialise the standard textual form of XML. 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. Modules under the "XML::Easy::Transform::" namespace operate on XML data in this abstract structured form, not on textual XML. 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 "die"s on error). 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. A reference to the top node is all that is required to effectively pass the whole document. OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS
CPAN distributions under this namespace are: XML::Easy::Transform::RationalizeNamespacePrefixes Manages XML Namespaces by hoisting all namespace declarations to the root of a document. SEE ALSO

This module provides various type-testing functions, relating to data types used in the XML::Easy ensemble. These are mainly intended to be used to enforce validity of data being processed by XML-related functions. There are two flavours of function in this module. Functions of the first flavour only provide type classification, to allow code to discriminate between argument types. Functions of the second flavour package up the most common type of type discrimination: checking that an argument is of an expected type. The functions come in matched pairs. FUNCTIONS
Each of these functions takes one scalar argument (ARG) to be tested. Any scalar value is acceptable for the argument to be tested. Each "is_" function returns a simple truth value result, which is true iff ARG is of the type being checked for. Each "check_" function will return normally if the argument is of the type being checked for, or will "die" if it is not. is_xml_name(ARG) check_xml_name(ARG) Check whether ARG is a plain string satisfying the XML name syntax. (Such names are used to identify element types, attributes, entities, and other things in XML.) is_xml_encname(ARG) check_xml_encname(ARG) Check whether ARG is a plain string satisfying the XML character encoding name syntax. is_xml_chardata(ARG) check_xml_chardata(ARG) Check whether ARG is a plain string consisting of a sequence of characters that are acceptable to XML. Such a string is valid as data in an XML element (where it may be intermingled with subelements) or as the value of an element attribute. is_xml_attributes(ARG) check_xml_attributes(ARG) Check whether ARG is a reference to a hash that is well-formed as an XML element attribute set. To be well-formed, each key in the hash must be an XML name string, and each value must be an XML character data string. is_xml_content_object(ARG) check_xml_content_object(ARG) Check whether ARG is a reference to an XML::Easy::Content object, and thus represents a chunk of XML content. is_xml_content_twine(ARG) check_xml_content_twine(ARG) Check whether ARG is a reference to a twine array (see "Twine" in XML::Easy::NodeBasics), and thus represents a chunk of XML content. is_xml_content_array(ARG) Deprecated alias for "is_xml_content_twine". is_xml_content(ARG) check_xml_content(ARG) Check whether ARG is a reference to either an XML::Easy::Content object or a twine array (see "Twine" in XML::Easy::NodeBasics), and thus represents a chunk of XML content. is_xml_element(ARG) check_xml_element(ARG) Check whether ARG is a reference to an XML::Easy::Element object, and thus represents an XML element.
