The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Data::Stream
DSLIP: bdhhp
description: Stream a data dump to a filehandle
userid: YVES (Yves)
chapterid: 6 (Data_Type_Utilities)
communities:
www.perlmonks.org
similar:
Data::BFDump Data::Dumper Data::Dump
rationale:
Data::Stream is a total rewrite of Data::BFDump. The name change is
due to a completely new interface, and the addition of functionality
which streams the output to a filehandle instead of constructing it
in memory and then returning the total dump, (and user complaints
that BFDump is annoying to type :-). This means that the memory
overhead of dumping using Data::Stream is signifigantly lower than
any of the other perl serializers.
Data::Stream does a breadth first traversal of the object being
dumped, but this pass is for analysis only. A second depth first
pass is required to actually output the structure. This two pass
approach means that Data::Stream can correctly handle a number of
edge cases that none of the other existing serialization modules
currently can. Extra effort was put into ensuring that structures
with readonly and aliased elements are dumped correctly.
Other module names I considered were Data::Streamer
Data::Dumper::Streamer and Data::Serialize and also preserving the
BFDump name. After discussions with various people from Perlmonks
the consensus was that Data::Stream was the preferred choice.
