SOAP::Deserializer(3) User Contributed Perl DocumentationSOAP::Deserializer(3)
NAME
SOAP::Deserializer - the means by which the toolkit manages the
conversion of XML into an object manageable 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);
