NAME
XML::PYX - XML to PYX generator
SYNOPSIS
use XML::PYX; my $parser = XML::PYX::Parser->new; my $string = $parser->parsefile($filename);
DESCRIPTION
After reading about PYX on XML.com, I thought it was a
pretty cool idea, so I built this, to generate PYX from
XML using perl. See http://www.xml.com/pub/2000/03/15/fea
ture/index.html for an excellent introduction.
- The package contains 2 usable packages, and 3 utilities
that are probably currently more use than the module: - pyx - a XML to PYX converter using XML::Parser
pyxv - a Validating XML to PYX converter using - XML::Checker::Parser
pyxw - a PYX to XML converter
pyxhtml - an HTML to PYX converter using - HTML::TreeBuilder
- All these utilities can be pipelined together, so you can
have:
pyx test.xml | grep -v "^-" | pyxw > new.xml- Which should remove all text from an XML file (leaving
only tags). - The 2 packages are XML::PYX::Parser and
XML::PYX::Parser::ToCSF. The former is a direct subclass
of XML::Parser that simply returns a PYX string on a call
to parse or parsefile. The latter stands for To Currently Selected Filehandle. Instead of returning a string, it sends output directly to the currently selected filehan
dle. This is much better for pipelined utilities for obvi
ous reasons. - There's a special variable: $XML::PYX::Lame. Set it to 1
to use a "Lame" parser that simply uses regexps. This is
useful, for example, if you are changing the input to
invalid XML for some reason. You can then use
$XML::PYX::Lame = 1 to enable the non-xml parser. It does
check for some things, like balanced tags, but otherwise
it's pretty lame :) - Lame mode is enabled for pyx and pyxw with the -l option.
