allow_undeclared => BOOLEAN
When true, you may call the reader or writer with types which were not registered
with declare(). In that case, the reader or writer may also get options passed for
the compiler, as long as they are consistent over each use of the type.
any_element => CODE|'TAKE_ALL'|'SKIP_ALL'|'ATTEMPT'|'SLOPPY'
See anyElement().
[1.02] the default is to ATTEMPT compiling any handlers automatically. Before
version 1.02, the default was to SKIP_ALL elements which would match the occurs and
namespace restrictions of the any specification. However, that fails for reperative
blocks (for instance, it fails for an choice which may occur unbounded times)

hook => $hook|ARRAY
hooks => ARRAY
ignore_unused_tags => BOOLEAN|REGEXP
key_rewrite => HASH|CODE|ARRAY
opts_readers => HASH|ARRAY-of-PAIRS
opts_rw => HASH|ARRAY-of-PAIRS
Options added to both READERs and WRITERS. Options which are passed with declare()
and "opts_readers" or "opts_writers" will overrule these. See addCompileOptions().
opts_writers => HASH|ARRAY-of-PAIRS
parser_options => HASH|ARRAY
prefixes => HASH|ARRAY-of-PAIRS
Define prefix name to name-space mappings. Passed to compile(prefixes) for each
reader and writer, but also used to permit findName() to accept types which use a
prefix.
Specify an ARRAY of (prefix, name-space) pairs, or a HASH which maps name-spaces to
prefixes (HASH order is reversed from ARRAY order!) When you wish to collect the
results, like usage counts, of the translation processing, you will need to specify
a HASH.
prefixes => [ mine => $myns, your => $yourns ]
prefixes => { $myns => 'mine', $yourns => 'your' }
# the previous is short for:
prefixes => { $myns => [ uri => $myns, prefix => 'mine', used => 0 ]
, $yourns => [ uri => $yourns, prefix => 'your', ...] }

Accessors
Extends "Accessors" in XML::Compile::Schema.

$obj->addHooks( $hook, [$hook, ...] )
Inherited, see "Accessors" in XML::Compile::Schema
$obj->addKeyRewrite($predef|CODE|HASH, ...)
Inherited, see "Accessors" in XML::Compile::Schema
$obj->addSchemaDirs(@directories|$filename)
XML::Compile::Cache->addSchemaDirs(@directories|$filename)
Inherited, see "Accessors" in XML::Compile

$obj->addTypemap(PAIR)
Inherited, see "Accessors" in XML::Compile::Schema
$obj->addTypemaps(PAIRS)
Inherited, see "Accessors" in XML::Compile::Schema
$obj->addXsiType( [HASH|ARRAY|LIST] )
[1.01] add global xsi_type declarations. Returns the xsiType set. The ARRAY or LIST
contains pairs, just like the HASH.
The value component can be 'AUTO' to automatically detect the "xsi:type" extensions.
This does only work for complex types.
$obj->allowUndeclared( [BOOLEAN] )
Whether it is permitted to create readers and writers which are not declared cleanly.
$obj->anyElement('ATTEMPT'|'SLOPPY'|'SKIP_ALL'|'TAKE_ALL'|CODE)
[as method since 0.99] How to process ANY elements, see also new(any_element).
Reader: "ATTEMPT" will convert all any elements, applying the reader for each element
found. When an element is not found in a schema, it will be included as
XML::LibXML::Element node.
[0.93] Reader: With "SLOPPY", first automatic typed conversion is attempted. But is
the type is not known, XML::LibXML::Simple::XMLin() is called to the resque.
$obj->blockNamespace($ns|$type|HASH|CODE|ARRAY)
Inherited, see "Accessors" in XML::Compile::Schema
$obj->hooks( [<'READER'|'WRITER'>] )
Inherited, see "Accessors" in XML::Compile::Schema
$obj->typemap( [HASH|ARRAY|PAIRS] )
[0.98] Add global knowledge on typemaps. Returns the typemap.
$obj->useSchema( $schema, [$schema, ...] )
Inherited, see "Accessors" in XML::Compile::Schema
Prefix management
The cache layer on top of XML::Compile::Schema adds smart use of prefixes. Of course,
smartness comes with a small performance cost, but the code gets much cleaner.
$obj->addNicePrefix(BASE, NAMESPACE)
[1.03] Register NAMESPACE -if not yet defined- with prefix name BASE. When that
prefix name is already in use for some other namespace, BASE followed by a number are
attempted (starting with 01). The prefix is returned.
When the BASE already ends on a number, that number will get counted.
example:
my $prefix = $schema->addNicePrefix('call', $myns);
# $prefix now can be call, call01, call02 etc
$obj->addPrefixes( [PAIRS|ARRAY|HASH] )
The X::C logic does auto-detect prefix/namespaces combinations from the XML, but does
not search extensively for namespace declarations. Also, sometimes the same namespace
is used with different prefixes. Sometimes, the same prefix is used for different
namesapces. To complete the list, or control the actual prefix being used, you
explicitly declare combinations.
The best way to add prefixes is via new(prefixes), which will give your names
preference over the names found in the schema's which get loaded. For instance, use
"::WSDL->new(prefixes => [ $prefix => $ns ]"
[0.995] Returns the HASH with prefix to name-space translations. You should not
modify the returned HASH: new PAIRS of prefix to namespace relations can be passed as
arguments.
[0.14] If a name-space appears for the second time, then the new prefix will be
recognized by findName(), but not used in the output. When the prefix already exists
for a different namespace, then an error will be casted.
[0.90] You may also provide an ARRAY of pairs or a HASH.
$obj->learnPrefixes($node)
[0.993] Take all the prefixes defined in the $node, and XML::LibXML::Element. This is
not recursive: only on those defined at the top $node.
$obj->prefix($prefix)
Lookup a prefix definition. This returns a HASH with namespace info.
$obj->prefixFor($uri)
Lookup the preferred prefix for the $uri.
$obj->prefixed( $type|<$ns,$local> )
Translate the fully qualified $type into a prefixed version. Will produce undef if
the namespace is unknown.
[0.993] When your $type is not in packed form, you can specify a namespace and $local
type name as separate arguments.
example:
print $schema->prefixed($type) || $type;
print $schema->prefixed($ns, $local);
$obj->prefixes( [$params] )
Return prefixes table. The $params are deprecated since [0.995], see addPrefixes().
Compilers
The name of this module refers to its power to administer compiled XML encoders (writers)
and decoders (readers). This means that your program only need to pass on a ::Cache
object (for instance a XML::Compile::WSDL11, not a CODE reference for each compiled
translator.
Extends "Compilers" in XML::Compile::Schema.
$obj->addCompileOptions( ['READERS'|'WRITERS'|'RW'], %options )
[0.99] You may provide global compile options with new(opts_rw), "opts_readers" and
"opts_writers", but also later using this method.
$obj->compile( <'READER'|'WRITER'>, $type, %options )
Inherited, see "Compilers" in XML::Compile::Schema
$obj->compileAll( ['READERS'|'WRITERS'|'RW', [$ns]] )
Compile all the declared readers and writers with the default 'RW'). You may also
select to pre-compile only the READERS or only the WRITERS. The selection can be
limited further by specifying a $ns.
By default, the processors are only compiled when used. This method is especially
useful in a daemon process, where preparations can take as much time as they want
to... and running should be as fast as possible.
$obj->compileType( <'READER'|'WRITER'>, $type, %options )
Inherited, see "Compilers" in XML::Compile::Schema
$obj->dataToXML( $node|REF-XML|XML-STRING|$filename|$fh|$known )
XML::Compile::Cache->dataToXML( $node|REF-XML|XML-STRING|$filename|$fh|$known )
Inherited, see "Compilers" in XML::Compile
$obj->initParser(%options)
XML::Compile::Cache->initParser(%options)
Inherited, see "Compilers" in XML::Compile
$obj->reader($type|$name, %options)
Returns the reader CODE for the $type or $name (see findName()). %options are only
permitted if new(allow_undeclared) is true, and the same as the previous call to this
method.
The reader will be compiled the first time that it is used, and that same CODE
reference will be returned each next request for the same $type. Call compileAll() to
have all readers compiled by force.
-Option --Default
is_type <false>
is_type => BOOLEAN
[1.03] use compileType() with the given element, to replace compile() You probably
want an additional "element" parameter.
example:
my $schema = XML::Compile::Cache->new(\@xsd,
prefixes => [ gml => $GML_NAMESPACE ] );
my $data = $schema->reader('gml:members')->($xml);
my $getmem = $schema->reader('gml:members');
my $data = $getmem->($xml);
$obj->template( <'XML'|'PERL'|'TREE'>, $element, %options )
Inherited, see "Compilers" in XML::Compile::Schema
$obj->writer($type|$name)
Returns the writer CODE for the $type or $name (see findName()). OPTIONS are only
permitted if new(allow_undeclared) is true, and the same as the previous call to this
method.
The writer will be compiled the first time that it is used, and that same CODE
reference will be returned each next request for the same type.
-Option --Default
is_type <false>
is_type => BOOLEAN
[1.03] use compileType() with the given element, to replace compile() You probably
want an additional "element" parameter.
example:
my $xml = $cache->writer('gml:members')->($doc, $data);
my $doc = XML::LibXML::Document->new('1.0', 'UTF-8');
my $wr = $cache->writer('gml:members');
my $xml = $wr->($doc, $data);
$doc->setDocumentElement($xml);
print $doc->toString(1);
Administration
Extends "Administration" in XML::Compile::Schema.
$obj->declare( <'READER'|'WRITER'|'RW'>, <$type|ARRAY>, %options )
Register that the indicated $type (or ARRAY of them) may be used, and needs to be
translated with the %options (either specified as ARRAY or PAIRS). Specify whether it
may get used as READER, WRITER, or both (RW). If the READER and WRITER need different
options, then you need to declare them separately; in that case you cannot use RW.
The $type should be understood by findName(), so may be prefixed.
example:
$cache->declare(READER => 'pref:count', sloppy_integers => 1)
->declare(RW => '{myns}mylocal');
$cache->declare(WRITER => [ 'xsd:int', '{http://}aap' ]);
$obj->doesExtend($exttype, $basetype)
Inherited, see "Administration" in XML::Compile::Schema
$obj->elements()
Inherited, see "Administration" in XML::Compile::Schema
$obj->findName($name)
Translate the $name specification into a schema defined full type. The $name can be a
full type (like '{namespace}localname', usually created with
XML::Compile::Util::pack_type()) or a prefixed type (like 'myns:localname', where
"myns" is defined via new(prefixes) or prefixes()).
When the form is 'myns:' (so without local name), the namespace uri is returned.
example: of findName()
$schema->addPrefixes(pre => 'http://namespace');
my $type = $schema->findName('pre:name');
print $type; # {http://namespace}name
my $ns = $schema->findName('pre:');
print $ns; # http://namespace
my $type = $schema->findName('{somens}name');
print $type; # {somens}name [a no-op]
$obj->findSchemaFile($filename)
XML::Compile::Cache->findSchemaFile($filename)
Inherited, see "Administration" in XML::Compile
$obj->importDefinitions($xmldata, %options)

$obj->namespaces()
Inherited, see "Administration" in XML::Compile::Schema
$obj->printIndex( [$fh], %options )
-Option --Default
show_declared <true>
show_declared => BOOLEAN
Add an indicator to each line, about whether readers and writers are declare for the
type. Declared readers and writers will show flags "r" and "w" respectively.
Compiled readers and writers carry a "R" and/or "W".

DESCRIPTIONS
"XML::Compile::Cache" is the smart brother of XML::Compile::Schema; it keeps track of your
compiled readers and writers, and also helps you administer the parameters to handle
compilation. Besides, it lat you use easy prefixes instead of full namespaces.
With XML::Compile::Schema::compile() (defined in the SUPER class of this module) you can
construct translators from XML to Perl and back. These translators are code references,
which are "expensive" to create, but "cheap" in use; call them as often as you want. This
module helps you administer them.
When the schemas grow larger, it gets harder to see which code reference have already be
created and which not. And, these code references need compile options which you do not
want to distribute over your whole program. Finally, in a daemon application, you do not
want to create the translators when used (which can be in every client again), but once
during the initiation of the daemon.
One of the most important contributions to the compile management, is the addition of
smart prefix handling. This means that you can use prefixed names in stead of full types,
often created with XML::Compile::Util::pack_type().
