10 SOAP::Deserializer provides the means by which incoming XML is decoded

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

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

30 Here is an example of how raw XML content can be parsed into a
31 SOAP::SOM object by using SOAP::Deserializer:
32
33 $xml = <<END_XML;
34 <foo>
35 <person>
36 <foo>123</foo>
37 <foo>456</foo>
38 </person>
39 <person>
40 <foo>789</foo>
41 <foo>012</foo>
42 </person>
43 </foo>
44 END_XML

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