textproc/p5-XML-Smart 1.79_1 DragonFly

This module has an easy way to access/create XML data. It's based on the HASH tree that is made of the XML data, and enable a dynamic access to it with the Perl syntax for Hashe and Array, without needing to care if you have a Hashe or an Array in the tree. In other words, each point in the tree work as a Hash and an Array at the same time!

The module alson handle automatically binary data (encoding/decoding to/from base64), CDATA (like contents with <tags>) and Unicode. It can be used to create XML files, load XML from the Web (just pasting an URL as a file path) and it has an easy way to send XML data through socket, just adding the length of the data in the <?xml?> header.

You can use XML::Smart with XML::Parser, or with the 2 standart parsers of XML::Smart:
