Any::Renderer::XML 1.014

Any::Renderer::XML Perl module can render a data structure as element-only XML.

SYNOPSIS

use Any::Renderer;

my %xml_options = ();
my %options = ( XmlOptions => %xml_options );
my $format = "XML";
my $r = new Any::Renderer ( $format, %options );

my $data_structure = [...]; # arbitrary structure code
my $string = $r->render ( $data_structure );
You can get a list of all formats that this module handles using the following syntax:
my $list_ref = Any::Renderer::XML::available_formats ();

Also, determine whether or not a format requires a template with requires_template:

my $bool = Any::Renderer::XML::requires_template ( $format );

Any::Renderer::XML renders any Perl data structure passed to it as element-only XML. For example:

perl -MAny::Renderer -e "print Any::Renderer->new(XML)->render({a => 1, b => [2,3]})"
results in:

< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="yes"? >
< output >
< a >1< /a >
< b >2< /b >
< b >3< /b >
< /output >

The rendering process comes with all the caveats cited in the XML::Simple documentation. For example if your data structure contains binary data or ASCII control characters, then the XML document that is generated may not be well-formed.
