=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Net::Twitter;
my $nt = Net::Twitter->new(traits => [qw/InflateObjects API::Rest/]);
$nt->credentials($username, $password);
$r = $nt->friends_timeline;
$r->[0]->user->name; # return values are objects with read accessors
$r->[0]->created_at; # dates are inflated to DateTime objects
$r->[0]->relative_created_at; # "6 minutes ago"
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This role provides inflation of HASH refs, returned by the Twitter API, into
Moose objects. URLs are inflated to URI objects. Dates are inflated to
DateTime objects. Objects that have a C<created_at> attribute also have a
C<relative_created_at> method that prints times in the same style as the
Twitter web interface.
All HASH members have read accessors, so
$r->[0]->{user}{screen_name}
Can be accessed as
$r->[0]->user->screen_name
=head1 CAVEATS
An accessor is created for each HASH key returned by Twitter. As Twitter adds
new attributes, InflateObjects will create accessors for them. However,
InflateObjects will also drop accessors if Twitter drops the corresponding
HASH element. So, code that relies on HASH element will fail loudly if Twitter
drops support for it. (This may be a feature!)
