XML::SMART XML::Smart - A smart, easy and powerful way to access or create XML from files, data and URLs. DESCRIPTION This module provides an easy way to access/create XML data. It's based on a HASH tree created from the XML data, and enables dynamic access to it through the standard Perl syntax for Hash and Array, without necessarily caring about which you are working with. In other words, B! This module additionally provides special resources such as: search for nodes by attribute, select an attribute value in each multiple node, change the returned format, and so on. The module also automatically handles binary data (encoding/decoding to/from base64), CDATA (like contents with ) and Unicode. It can be used to create XML files, load XML from the Web ( just by using an URL as the file path ) and has an easy way to send XML data through sockets - just adding the length of the data in the header. You can use I with L, or with the 2 standart parsers of XML::Smart: XML::Smart::Parser XML::Smart::HTMLParser INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES Object::MultiType 0.3 -> I made this module specially for XML::Smart, but can be used in others too ;-P.
