NAME

       XML::Compile::Translate::Template - create an XML or PERL example

INHERITANCE

        XML::Compile::Translate::Template
          is a XML::Compile::Translate

SYNOPSIS

        my $schema = XML::Compile::Schema->new(...);
        print $schema->template(XML  => $type, ...);
        print $schema->template(PERL => $type, ...);

        # script as wrapper for this module
        schema2example -f XML ...

DESCRIPTION

       The translator understands schemas, but does not encode that into actions.  This module
       interprets the parse results of the translator, and creates a kind of abstract syntax tree
       from it, which can be used for documentational purposes.  Then, it implements to ways to
       represent that knowledge: as an XML or a Perl example of the data-structure which the
       schema describes.

       See documentation in the base class.

METHODS

       See documentation in the base class.

DETAILS

       See documentation in the base class.

   Translator options
       See documentation in the base class.

   Processing Wildcards
       Wildcards are not (yet) supported.

   Schema hooks
       Hooks are implemented since version 0.82.  They can be used to improve the template
       output.

       hooks executed before the template is generated

       None defined yet.

       hooks executed as replacement

       The predefined hook "COLLAPSE" can be used to remove the extensive listing of some
       elements.  Usually used with a type of which you know the structure or which is repeated
       often.

       hooks for post-processing, after the data is collected

       None defined yet.

   Typemaps
       Typemaps are currently only available to improve the PERL output.

       Typemaps for PERL template output

       You can pass &function_name to indicate that the code reference with variable name
       $function_name will be called.  Mind the change of "&" into "$".

       When $object_name is provided, then that object is an interface object, which will be
       called for the indicated type.

       In case class name (any bareword will do) is specified, it is shown as a call to the
       "toXML()" instance method call from some data object of the specified class.
