SOAP::Deserializer.3pm

NAME

SOAP::Deserializer - the means by which the toolkit manages the conversion of XML into an object managable by a developer

DESCRIPTION

SOAP::Deserializer provides the means by which incoming XML is decoded into a Perl data structure.

METHODS

context

This provides access to the calling context of "SOAP::Deserializer". In a client side context the often means a reference to an instance of SOAP::Lite. In a server side context this means a reference to a SOAP::Server instance.

EXAMPLES

DESERIALIZING RAW XML INTO A SOAP::SOM OBJECT

A useful utility for SOAP::Deserializer is for parsing raw XML documents or fragments into a SOAP::SOM object. SOAP::Lite developers use this technique to write unit tests for the SOAP::Lite module itself. It is a lot more efficient for testing aspects of the toolkit than generating client calls over the network. This is a perfect way for developers to write unit tests for their custom data types for example.

Here is an example of how raw XML content can be parsed into a SOAP::SOM object by using SOAP::Deserializer:

    $xml = <<END_XML;

    <foo>

      <person>

        <foo>123</foo>

        <foo>456</foo>

      </person>

      <person>

        <foo>789</foo>

        <foo>012</foo>

      </person>

    </foo>

    END_XML

    my $som = SOAP::Deserializer->deserialize($xml);
