SYNOPSIS

  use XML::Atom::Service;

  my $category = XML::Atom::Category->new;
  $category->term('joke');
  $category->scheme('http://example.org/extra-cats/');

  my $categories = XML::Atom::Categories->new;
  $categories->add_category($category);

  my $xml = $categories->as_xml;

  # Get a list of the category elements.
  my @category = $categories->category;

DESCRIPTION

Category Documents contain lists of categories described using the \*(L"atom:category\*(R" element from the Atom Syndication Format [\s-1RFC4287\s0].

The Category Document is defined in \*(L"The Atom Publishing Protocol,\*(R" \s-1IETF\s0 Internet-Draft.

METHODS

Creates a new Category Document object, and if $stream is supplied, fills it with the data specified by $stream.

Automatically handles autodiscovery if $stream is a \s-1URI\s0 (see below).

Returns the new XML::Atom::Categories object. On failure, returns \*(C`undef\*(C'.

$stream can be any one of the following:

  • Reference to a scalar This is treated as the \s-1XML\s0 body of the Category Document.

  • Scalar This is treated as the name of a file containing the Category Document \s-1XML\s0.

  • Filehandle This is treated as an open filehandle from which the Category Document \s-1XML\s0 can be read.

  • \s-1URI\s0 object This is treated as a \s-1URI\s0, and the Category Document \s-1XML\s0 will be retrieved from the \s-1URI\s0. If called in scalar context, returns an XML::Atom::Category object corresponding to the first \*(L"app:category\*(R" element found in the Category Document.

If called in list context, returns a list of XML::Atom::Category objects corresponding to all of the \*(L"app:category\*(R" elements found in the Service Document. Adds the category $category, which must be an XML::Atom::Category object, to the Service Document as a new \*(L"app:category\*(R" element. For example:

my $category = XML::Atom::Category->new; $category->term('joke'); $categories->add_category($category);
