XML::Filter::Dispatcher::AsStructHandler 0.52

XML::Filter::Dispatcher::AsStructHandler Perl module can help you convert SAX stream in to simple, data-oriented structure.

SYNOPSIS

## Ordinarily used via the XML::Filter::Dispatchers as_data_struct()
## built-in extension function for XPath

This SAX2 handler builds a simple hash from XML. Text from each element and attribute is stored in the hash with a key of a relative path from the root down to the current element.

The goal is to produce a usable structure as simply and quickly as possible; use XML::Simple for more sophisticated applications.

The resulting data structure has one hash per element, one scalar per attribute, and one scalar per text string in each leaf element.

Warnings are emitted if any content other than whitespace is discarded.

The root element name is discarded.

If you are using namespaces, you must pass in the Namespaces option, otherwise not. Using namespaces without a Namespaces option or vice versa will not work.

Only start_document(), start_element(), characters(), end_element(), and end_document() are provided; so all comments, processing instructions etc., are discarded.
