NAME

Geo::GML - Geography Markup Language processing

INHERITANCE

 Geo::GML has extra code in
   Geo::GML::GeoPoint

 Geo::GML
   is a XML::Compile::Cache
   is a XML::Compile::Schema
   is a XML::Compile

SYNOPSIS

 use Geo::GML ':gml321';

 my $gml = Geo::GML->new('READER', version => '3.2.1');

 # see XML::Compile::Cache on how to use readers and writers
 my $data = $gml->reader("gml:GridCoverage")->($xmlmsg);
 my $xml  = $gml->writer($sometype)->($doc, $perldata);

 # or without help of the cache, XML::Compile::Schema
 my $r    = $gml->compile(READER => $sometype);
 my $data = $r->($xml);

 # super simple
 my ($type, $data) = Geo::GML->from('data.xml');

 # overview (large) on all defined elements
 $gml->printIndex;

 # To discover the perl datastructures to be passed
 print $gml->template("gml:Surface");

 # autoloaded logic to convert Geo::Point into GML
 $data->{...somewhere...} = $gml->GPtoGML($objects);

DESCRIPTION

Provides access to the GML definitions specified in XML. The details about GML structures can differ, and therefore you should be explicit which versions you understand and produce.

If you need the <b>most recent</b> version of GML, then you get involved with the ISO19139 standard. See CPAN module Geo::ISO19139.

The first releases of this module will not powerful, but hopefully people contribute. For instance, an example conversion script between various versions is very welcome! It would be nice to help each other. I will clean-up the implementation, to make it publishable, but do not have the knowledge about what is needed.

See documentation in the base class.

METHODS

See documentation in the base class.

Constructors

See documentation in the base class.

Geo::GML->from(XMLDATA, OPTIONS)

Read a EOP structure from a data source, which can be anything acceptable by dataToXML(): a XML::LibXML::Element, XML as string or ref-string, filename, filehandle or known namespace.

Returned is the product (the type of the root node) and the parsed data-structure. The EOP version used for decoding is autodetected, unless specified.

See examples/read_gml.pl

example:

  my ($type, $data) = Geo::GML->from('data.xml');

allow_undeclared => BOOLEAN

In the optimal case, all types used in your application are declared during the initiation phase of your program. This will make it easy to write a fast daemon application, or transform your program into a daemon later. So: "false" would be a good setting. However, on the moment, the developer of this module has no idea which types people will use. Please help me with the specs!

All any elements will be ATTEMPTed to be processed at run-time by default.

The GML specification will require PREFIXED key rewrite, because the complexity of namespaces is enormous. Besides, mixed elements are processed as STRUCTURAL by default (mixed in texts ignored).

any_element => CODE|'TAKE_ALL'|'SKIP_ALL'|'ATTEMPT'|'SLOPPY'

block_namespace => NAMESPACE|TYPE|HASH|CODE|ARRAY

hook => ARRAY-WITH-HOOKDATA | HOOK

hooks => ARRAY-OF-HOOK

ignore_unused_tags => BOOLEAN|REGEXP

opts_readers => HASH|ARRAY-of-PAIRS

opts_rw => HASH|ARRAY-of-PAIRS

opts_writers => HASH|ARRAY-of-PAIRS

parser_options => HASH|ARRAY

prefixes => ARRAY|HASH

Prefix abbreviations, to be used by cache object. Which prefixes are defined depends on the schema version.

schema_dirs => DIRECTORY|ARRAY-OF-DIRECTORIES

typemap => HASH|ARRAY

version => VERSION|NAMESPACE

Only used when the object is created directly from this base-class. It determines which GML syntax is to be used. Can be a VERSION like "3.1.1" or a NAMESPACE URI like 'NS_GML_300'.

See XML::Compile::Schema::template(). This will create an example of the data-structure based on GML. All OPTIONS are passed to the template generator, the only reason to have this method, is to avoid the need to collect all the GML XML files yourself.
