MARC::Parser::XML(3pm)

Usage

    use MARC::Parser::XML;
    my $parser = MARC::Parser::XML->new( 't/marc.xml' );
    while ( my $record = $parser->next() ) { 
        # do something ...
    }

Overview

MARC::Parser::XML is a lightweight, fault tolerant parser for MARC XML records. Tags, indicators and subfield codes are not validated against the MARC standard. The resulting data structure is optimized for usage with the Catmandu data tool kit.

Marc

The MARC record is parsed into an ARRAY of ARRAYs:

    $record = [
            [ 'LDR', undef, undef, '_', '00661nam  22002538a 4500' ],
            [ '001', undef, undef, '_', 'fol05865967 ' ],
            ...
            [   '245', '1', '0', 'a', 'Programming Perl /',
                'c', 'Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen & Jon Orwant.'
            ],
            ...
        ];
