NAME

6       SOAP::Deserializer - the means by which the toolkit manages the conver‐
7       sion of XML into an object managable by a developer
8

DESCRIPTION

10       SOAP::Deserializer provides the means by which incoming XML is decoded
11       into a Perl data structure.
12

METHODS

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

EXAMPLES

21       DESERIALIZING RAW XML INTO A SOAP::SOM OBJECT
22
23       A useful utility for SOAP::Deserializer is for parsing raw XML docu‐
24       ments or fragments into a SOAP::SOM object. SOAP::Lite developers use
25       this technique to write unit tests for the SOAP::Lite module itself. It
26       is a lot more efficient for testing aspects of the toolkit than gener‐
27       ating client calls over the network. This is a perfect way for develop‐
28       ers to write unit tests for their custom data types for 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
45
46           my $som = SOAP::Deserializer->deserialize($xml);
