NAME

       Tree::Simple::Visitor::ToNestedHash - A Visitor for creating nested hash trees from
       Tree::Simple objects.

SYNOPSIS

         use Tree::Simple::Visitor::ToNestedHash;

         my $visitor = Tree::Simple::Visitor::ToNestedHash->new();

         # given this Tree::Simple tree
         my $tree = Tree::Simple->new("Root")
                       ->addChildren(
                           Tree::Simple->new("Child1")
                               ->addChildren(
                                   Tree::Simple->new("GrandChild1"),
                                   Tree::Simple->new("GrandChild2")
                               ),
                           Tree::Simple->new("Child2"),
                       );

         $tree->accept($visitor);

         my $array_tree = $visitor->getResults();

         # this then creates the equivalent nested array tree:
         # {
         # Root => {
         #         Child1 => {
         #                 GrandChild1 => {},
         #                 GrandChild2 => {}
         #                 },
         #         Child2 => {}
         #         }
         # }

DESCRIPTION

       Given a tree constructed from a Tree::Simple hierarchy, this Visitor will create the
       equivalent tree of nested hashes.

METHODS

       new There are no arguments to the constructor the object will be in its default state. You
           can use the "setNodeFilter" and "includTrunk" methods to customize its behavior.

       includTrunk ($boolean)
           Setting the $boolean value to true (1) will cause the node value of the tree's root to
           be included in the nested hash output, setting it to false will do the opposite.

       setNodeFilter ($filter_function)
           This method accepts a CODE reference as its $filter_function argument and throws an
           exception if it is not a code reference. This code reference is used to filter the
           tree nodes as they are placed into the hash tree. The $filter_function is passed a
           Tree::Simple object, and is expected to return the value desired for inclusion into
           the hash tree.

       visit ($tree)
           This is the method that is used by Tree::Simple's "accept" method. It can also be used
           on its own, it requires the $tree argument to be a Tree::Simple object (or derived
           from a Tree::Simple object), and will throw and exception otherwise.

       getResults
           This method will return the hash tree constructed.

BUGS

       None that I am aware of. Of course, if you find a bug, let me know, and I will be sure to
       fix it.

CODE COVERAGE

       See the CODE COVERAGE section in Tree::Simple::VisitorFactory for more information.

SEE ALSO

       These Visitor classes are all subclasses of Tree::Simple::Visitor, which can be found in
       the Tree::Simple module, you should refer to that module for more information.
