Many applications which process data-centric XML do that based
|
|
on a nice specification, expressed in an XML Schema.
|
|
XML::Compile reads and writes XML data with the help of such
|
|
schema's. On the Perl side, it uses a tree of nested hashes
|
|
with the same structure.
|
|
|
|
Where other Perl modules, like SOAP::WSDL help you using these
|
|
schema's (often with a lot of run-time (XPath) searches), this
|
|
module takes a different approach: in stead of run-time
|
|
processing of the specification, it will first compile the
|
|
expected structure into real Perl, and then use that to process
|
|
the data.
|
|
|
|
There are many perl modules with the same as this one: translate
|
|
between XML and nested hashes. However, there are a few serious
|
|
differences: because the schema is used here, we make sure we
|
|
only handle correct data. Data-types are formatted and processed
|
|
correctly; for instance, integer does accept huge values
|
|
(at least 18 digits) as the specification prescribes. Also more
|
|
complex data-types like list, union, and substitutionGroup
|
|
(unions on complex type level) are supported, which is rarely the
|
|
case in other modules.
