NAME
-----------------------------------------
XML::EasyOBJ - Easy XML object navigation
-----------------------------------------
VERSION
-----------------------------------------
Version 1.0
-----------------------------------------
SYNOPSIS
-----------------------------------------
# create the object
my $doc = new XML::EasyOBJ('my_xml_document.xml');
# print some text from the document
print $doc->some_element(1)->getString;
# print an attribute value
print $doc->some_element(0)->getAttr('foo')."\n";
# iterate over a list of elements
foreach my $x ( $foo->some_element ) {
print $x->getString."\n";
}
-----------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------------------
XML::EasyOBJ lets you take an XML page and essentially
create an object out of it. Each element becomes a
method, which makes it really easy to navigate an XML
page (if you know the structure). The motivation behind
this module was to create an interface so simple that
anyone who knows the basic functionality of Perl can
learn how to read data from an XML document in less
than 10 minutes.
This module is also a time saver even if you are
familiar with the other modules available, but want
something simple so that you can throw together a
script in a few minutes (unless of course you know the
DOM like the back of your hand).
-----------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS
-----------------------------------------
XML::EasyOBJ uses XML::DOM. XML::DOM is
available from CPAN (www.cpan.org).
