NAME

SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer::Hash - Deserializer SOAP messages into perl hash refs

SYNOPSIS

 use SOAP::WSDL;
 use SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer::Hash;

DESCRIPTION

Deserializer for creating perl hash refs as result of a SOAP call.

Output structure

The XML structure is converted into a perl data structure consisting of hash and or list references. List references are used for holding array data.

SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer::Hash creates list references always at the maximum depth possible.

Examples:

 XML:
 <MyDataArray>
    <MyData>1</MyData>
    <MyData>1</MyData>
 </MyDataArray>

 Perl:
 {
     MyDataArray => {
         MyData => [ 1, 1 ]
     }
 }

 XML:
 <DeepArray>
    <MyData><int>1<int>/MyData>
    <MyData><int>1<int>/MyData>
 </DeepArray>

 Perl:
 {
     MyDataArray => {
         MyData => [
            { int => 1 },
            { int => 1 }
         ]
     }
 }

List reference creation is triggered by the second occurrence of an element. XML Array types with one element only will not be represented as list references.

USAGE

All you need to do is to use SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer::Hash.

SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer::Hash autoregisters itself for SOAP1.1 messages

You may register SOAP::WSDLDeserializer::Hash for other SOAP Versions by calling

 SOAP::Factory::Deserializer->register('1.2',
    SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer::Hash)

Limitations

Namespaces
All namespaces are ignored.
XML attributes
All XML attributes are ignored.

Differences from other SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer classes
