=head1 NAME

XML::PatAct::ToObjects - An action module for creating Perl objects

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use XML::PatAct::ToObjects;

 my $patterns = [ PATTERN => [ OPTIONS ],
		  PATTERN => "PERL-CODE",
		  ... ];

 my $matcher = XML::PatAct::ToObjects->new( Patterns => $patterns,
					    Matcher => $matcher,
					    CopyId => 1,
					    CopyAttributes => 1 );


=head1 DESCRIPTION

XML::PatAct::ToObjects is a PerlSAX handler for applying
pattern-action lists to XML parses or trees.  XML::PatAct::ToObjects
creates Perl objects of the types and contents of the action items you
define.

New XML::PatAct::ToObject instances are creating by calling `new()'.
Parameters can be passed as a list of key, value pairs or a hash.
`new()' requires the Patterns and Matcher parameters, the rest are
optional:

=over 4

=item Patterns

The pattern-action list to apply.

=item Matcher

An instance of the pattern or query matching module.

=item CopyId

Causes the `ID' attribute, if any, in a source XML element to be
copied to an `ID' attribute in newly created objects.  Note that IDs
may be lost of no pattern matches that element or an object is not
created (C<-make>) for that element.

=item CopyAttributes

Causes all attributes of the element to be copied to the newly created
objects.

=back

Each action can either be a list of options defined below or a string
containing a fragment of Perl code.  If the action is a string of Perl
code then simple then some simple substitutions are made as described
further below.

Options that can be used in an action item containing an option-list:

=over 4

=item B<-holder>

Ignore this element, but continue processing it's children (compare to
B<-ignore>).  C<-pcdata> may be used with this option.

=item B<-ignore>

Ignore (discard) this element and it's children (compare to B<-holder>).

=item B<-pcdata>

Character data in this element should be copied to the C<Contents>
field.

=item B<-make> I<PACKAGE>

Create an object blessed into I<PACKAGE>, and continue processing this
element and it's children.  I<PACKAGE> may be the type `C<HASH>' to
simply create an anonyous hash.

=item B<-args> I<ARGUMENTS>

Use I<ARGUMENTS> in creating the object specified by B<-make>.  This
is commonly used to copy element attributes into fields in the newly
created object.  For example:

  -make => 'HASH', -args => 'URL => %{href}'

would copy the `C<href>' attribute in an element to the `C<URL>' field
of the newly created hash.

=item B<-field> I<FIELD>

Store this element, object, or children of this element in the parent
object's field named by I<FIELD>.

=item B<-push-field> I<FIELD>

Similar to B<-field>, except that I<FIELD> is an array and the
contents are pushed onto that array.

=item B<-value> I<VALUE>

Use I<VALUE> as a literal value to store in I<FIELD>, otherwise
ignoring this element and it's children.  Only valid with B<-field> or
B<-push-field>.  `C<%{I<ATTRIBUTE>}>' notation can be used to
substitute the value of an attribute into the literal value.

=item B<-as-string>

Convert the contents of this element to a string (as in
C<XML::Grove::AsString>) and store in I<FIELD>.  Only valid with
B<-field> or B<-push-field>.

=item B<-grove>

Copy this element to I<FIELD> without further processing.  The element
can then be processed later as the Perl objects are manipulated.  Only
valid with B<-field> or B<-push-field>.  If ToObjects is used with
PerlSAX, this will use XML::Grove::Builder to build the grove element.

=item B<-grove-contents>

Used with B<-make>, B<-grove-contents> creates an object but then
takes all of the content of that element and stores it in Contents.

=back

If an action item is a string, that string is treated as a fragment of
Perl code.  The following simple substitutions are performed on the
fragment to provide easy access to the information being converted:

=over 4

=item B<@ELEM@>

The object that caused this action to be called.  If ToObjects is used
with PerlSAX this will be a hash with the element name and attributes,
with XML::Grove this will be the element object, with Data::Grove it
will be the matching object, and with XML::DOM it will be an
XML::DOM::Element.

=back

=head1 EXAMPLE

The example pattern-action list below will convert the following XML
representing a Database schema:

    <schema>
      <table>
        <name>MyTable</name>
        <summary>A short summary</summary>
        <description>A long description that may
          contain a subset of HTML</description>
        <column>
          <name>MyColumn1</name>
          <summary>A short summary</summary>
          <description>A long description</description>
          <unique/>
          <non-null/>
          <default>42</default>
        </column>
      </table>
    </schema>

into Perl objects looking like:

    [
      { Name => "MyTable",
        Summary => "A short summary",
        Description => $grove_object,
        Columns => [
          { Name => "MyColumn1",
            Summary => "A short summary",
            Description => $grove_object,
            Unique => 1,
            NonNull => 1,
            Default => 42
          }
        ]
      }
    ]

Here is a Perl script and pattern-action list that will perform the
conversion using the simple name matching pattern module
XML::PatAct::MatchName.  The script accepts a Schema XML file as an
argument (C<$ARGV[0]>) to the script.  This script creates a grove as
one of it's objects, so it requires the XML::Grove module.

    use XML::Parser::PerlSAX;
    use XML::PatAct::MatchName;
    use XML::PatAct::ToObjects;

    my $patterns = [
      'schema'      => [ qw{ -holder                                  } ],
      'table'       => [ qw{ -make Schema::Table                      } ],
      'name'        => [ qw{ -field Name -as-string                   } ],
      'summary'     => [ qw{ -field Summary -as-string                } ],
      'description' => [ qw{ -field Description -grove                } ],
      'column'      => [ qw{ -make Schema::Column -push-field Columns } ],
      'unique'      => [ qw{ -field Unique -value 1                   } ],
      'non-null'    => [ qw{ -field NonNull -value 1                  } ],
      'default'     => [ qw{ -field Default -as-string                } ],
    ];

    my $matcher = XML::PatAct::MatchName->new( Patterns => $patterns );
    my $handler = XML::PatAct::ToObjects->new( Patterns => $patterns,
                                               Matcher => $matcher);

    my $parser = XML::Parser::PerlSAX->new( Handler => $handler );
    my $schema = $parser->parse(Source => { SystemId => $ARGV[0] } );

=head1 TODO

=over 4

=item *

It'd be nice if patterns could be applied even in B<-as-string> and
B<-grove>.

=item *

Implement Perl code actions.

=item *

B<-as-xml> to write XML into the field.
