The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: DBIx::XMLServer
DSLIP: adpOp
description: Serve data in XML following HTTP request
userid: MJBRIGHT (Martin Bright)
chapterid: 7 (Database_Interfaces)
communities:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dbix-xmlserver
similar:
XML::Generator::DBI
rationale:
This module makes it very easy to put together a script which will
take an HTTP query, turn it into an SQL query, execute that query
and turn the result into customised XML.
From README:
This module implements the whole process of generating an XML
document from a database query, in response to an HTTP request. The
mapping from the DBI database to an XML structure is defined in a
template file, also in XML; this template is used not only to turn
the data into XML, but also to parse the query string. To the user,
the format of the query string is very natural in relation to the
XML data which they will receive.
How does this differ from existing modules?
1. The mapping between database and XML is used not only to
generate the XML, but also to parse the query. In principle, the
step of generating XML could be accomplished by XML::Generator::DBI
followed by XSLT; but this is only half of the process and not
neatly separable.
2. The end user has control over the XML produced: they can elect
to receive only a fragment of each record.
3. Because the transformations from query to SQL statement and from
SQL data to XML data are performed by overloadable Perl functions,
there is very much flexibility - more so that just using XSLT.
Complete docs and source are already on CPAN.
