SOAP::Deserializer(3)                      User Contributed Perl Documentation


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);
