The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Data::XHash
DSLIP: adphp
description: Auto-indexed traversable ordered hashes
userid: BKATZUNG (Brian Katzung)
chapterid: 6 (Data_Type_Utilities)
communities:
similar:
Array::AsHash Array::Assign Array::OrdHash Data::Omap Tie::IxHash
Tie::Hash::Array Tie::LLHash Tie::StoredOrderHash
rationale:
This module is another implementation of ordered hashes. I believe
it blurs the line between hashes and arrays more than other
implementations.
Some of the key features that distinguish Data::XHash from other
implementations are as follows:
1) The ability to mix-and-match values with and without explicit
keys. Values without keys are assigned a sequential index as key
automatically. PHP, for example, also supports this.
2) Built-in path traversal that supports auto-vivification of
nested data structures just like you would expect when using native
hashrefs and arrayrefs.
3) Easy conversion to or from native Perl hashes and arrays either
at the level of a single XHash or as a nested tree of XHash, with
either an array-based or hash-based emphasis.
4) Calling new() returns a blessed reference to a tied hash, so you
can use standard Perl hashref-like references *and* call methods on
it.
