XML::Easy::Transform::RationalizeNamespacePrefixes - rationalize namespaces prefixes
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use XML::Easy::Transform::RationalizeNamespacePrefixes qw(
rationalize_namespace_prefixes
);
my $doc = rationalize_namespace_prefixes(
xml10_read_document($text)
);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This code creates a new tree of B<XML::Easy::Element> nodes by examining
an existing B<XML::Easy::Element> tree and producing a new tree that is
schemantically identical under the XML Namespaces 1.0 specification
but with all namespace declartions moved to the top node of the tree
(this may involve renaming several elements in the tree to have different
prefixes.)
It supplies one public function that can do this transformation which is
exported on request:
=over
=item rationalize_namespace_prefixes($easy_element)
=item rationalize_namespace_prefixes($easy_element, $generator_subref)
=item rationalize_namespace_prefixes($easy_element, $options_hashref)
The first argument is a B<XML::Easy::Element> that you wish a transformed
copy of to be returned. An exception will be thrown if thrown if the
XML document is not namespace-well-formed (i.e. it breaches the XML
Namespaces 1.0 specification.)
The second (optional) argument may be a reference to a function that should,
when passed a string containing a xml prefix as its first argument,
return a string containing an alternative xml prefix. If no function is
passed in then the default renaming function is used, which will append
or replace trailing numbers with higher numbers to the prefix.
Alternativly, a hashref may be passed as the (optional) second arguement.
The keys of this hash may be:
=over
=item generator
The prefix generating subroutine reference, as previously described.
=item namespaces
A hashref containing a mapping of namespace to prefixes that you want
to force to be declared. This enables you to control exactly what
prefixes are used for what namespaces and to force additional namespace
declarations for namespaces not otherwise mentioned in the XML
document you are transforming. Specifying more than one namespace that
maps to the same prefix will cause an exception to be thrown.
=item force_attribute_prefix
By default attributes without a prefix have the same namespace as the
element that they belong to. Setting this to a true value will force
prefixes to be prepended to attribute names even if they could be
ommited.
=back
The new B<XML::Easy::Element> will be returned as the only return value
of this function.

=head1 EXAMPLES
=head2 A Basic Transform
After defining a handy utility function:
sub process($) {
return xml10_write_document(
rationalize_namespace_prefixes(
xml10_read_document( $_[0] )
),"UTF-8"
);
}
This code:
print process <<'XML';
<foo>
<ex1:bar xmlns:ex1="http://www.twoshortplanks.com/namespace/example/1"/>
</foo>
XML
Moves the namespace up and prints:
<foo xmlns:ex1="http://www.twoshortplanks.com/namespace/example/1">
<ex1:bar/>
</foo>
=head2 Creating Prefixes
If you use the same prefix twice in the document to refer to different namespaces
then the function will rename one of the prefixes:
print process <<'XML';
<muppet:kermit xmlns:muppet="http://www.twoshortplanks.com/namespace/example/muppetshow">
<muppet:kermit xmlns:muppet="http://www.twoshortplanks.com/namespace/example/seasmestreet" />
</muppet:kermit>
XML
Prints
<muppet:kermit xmlns:muppet="http://www.twoshortplanks.com/namespace/example/muppetshow" xmlns:muppet2="http://www.twoshortplanks.com/namespace/example/seasmestreet">
<muppet2:kermit />
</muppet:kermit>
This works for the default namespace too:
print process <<'XML';
<foo>
<bar xmlns="http://www.twoshortplanks.com/namespace/example/1" />
</foo>
XML
Prints
<foo xmlns:default2="http://www.twoshortplanks.com/namespace/example/1">
<default2:bar />
</foo>
If you want control on how your prefixes will be renamed you can supply
a function as the second arguement to C<rationalize_namespace_prefixes>.
my $transformed = rationalize_namespace_prefixes(
$xml_easy_element,
sub {
my $name = shift;
$name =~ s/\d+\Z//;
return $name . int(rand(10000));
}
);
If your function returns a prefix that has already been used it will be
called again and again until it returns an unused prefix. The first time
the function is called it will be passed the prefix from the source, and
if it is called subsequent times after that because the new prefix it
previously returned is already in use it will be passed the prefix the
previous call to the function created.
=head2 Removing Unneeded Prefixes
This module also removes all unnecessary prefixes:
<wobble xmlns:ex1="http://www.twoshortplanks.com/namespace/example/1">
<ex1:wibble ex1:jelly="in my tummy" />
<ex2:bobble xmlns:ex2="http://www.twoshortplanks.com/namespace/example/1" />
</wobble>
Will be transformed into
<wobble xmlns:ex1="http://www.twoshortplanks.com/namespace/example/1">
<ex1:wibble jelly="in my tummy" />
<ex1:bobble />
</wobble>
