NAME¶
Template::XML - XML plugins for the Template Toolkit
SYNOPSIS¶
[% USE XML;
dom = XML.dom('foo.xml');
xpath = XML.xpath('bar.xml');
simple = XML.simple('baz.xml');
rss = XML.simple('news.rdf');
%]
DESCRIPTION¶
The Template-XML distribution provides a number of Template Toolkit plugin
modules for working with XML.
The Template::Plugin::XML module is a front-end to the various other XML plugin
modules. Through this you can access XML files and directories of XML files
via the Template::Plugin::XML::File and Template::Plugin::XML::Directory
modules (which subclass from the Template::Plugin::File and
Template::Plugin::Directory modules respectively). You can then create a
Document Object Model (DOM) from an XML file (Template::Plugin::XML::DOM),
examine it using XPath queries (Template::Plugin::XML::XPath), turn it into a
Perl data structure (Template::Plugin::XML::Simple) or parse it as an RSS (RDF
Site Summary) file.
The basic XML plugins were distributed as part of the Template Toolkit until
version 2.15 released in May 2006. At this time they were extracted into this
separate Template-XML distribution and an alpha version of this
Template::Plugin::XML front-end module was added.
