NAME

XML::RPC::Enc::LibXML - Encode/decode XML-RPC using LibXML

SYNOPSIS

    use XML::RPC::Fast;
    use XML::RPC::Enc::LibXML;
    
    my $rpc = XML::RPC::Fast->new(
        $uri,
        encoder => XML::RPC::Enc::LibXML->new(
            # internal_encoding currently not implemented, always want wide chars
            internal_encoding => undef,
            external_encoding => 'windows-1251',
        )
    );
    $rpc->registerType( base64 => sub {
        my $node = shift;
        return MIME::Base64::decode($node->textContent);
    });
    $rpc->registerType( 'dateTime.iso8601' => sub {
        my $node = shift;
        return DateTime::Format::ISO8601->parse_datetime($node->textContent);
    });
    $rpc->registerClass( DateTime => sub {
        return ( 'dateTime.iso8601' => $_[0]->strftime('%Y%m%dT%H%M%S.%3N%z') );
    });
    $rpc->registerClass( DateTime => sub {
        my $node = XML::LibXML::Element->new('dateTime.iso8601');
        $node->appendText($_[0]->strftime('%Y%m%dT%H%M%S.%3N%z'));
        return $node;
    });

DESCRIPTION

Default encoder/decoder for XML::RPC::Fast

If MIME::Base64 is installed, decoder for "XML-RPC" type "base64" will be setup

If DateTime::Format::ISO8601 is installed, decoder for "XML-RPC" type "dateTime.iso8601" will be setup

Also will be setup by default encoders for Class::Date and DateTime (will be encoded as "dateTime.iso8601")

Ty avoid default decoders setup:

    BEGIN {
        $XML::RPC::Enc::LibXML::TYPES{base64} = 0;
        $XML::RPC::Enc::LibXML::TYPES{'dateTime.iso8601'} = 0;
    }
    use XML::RPC::Enc::LibXML;

Q: What is the legal syntax (and range) for integers?
How to deal with leading zeros?
Is a leading plus sign allowed?
How to deal with whitespace?

A: An integer is a 32-bit signed number.
You can include a plus or minus at the beginning of a string of numeric characters.
Leading zeros are collapsed.
Whitespace is not permitted.
Just numeric characters preceeded by a plus or minus.

Q: What is the legal syntax (and range) for floating point values (doubles)?
How is the exponent represented?
How to deal with whitespace?
Can infinity and "not a number" be represented?

A: There is no representation for infinity or negative infinity or "not a number".
At this time, only decimal point notation is allowed, a plus or a minus,
followed by any number of numeric characters,
followed by a period and any number of numeric characters.
Whitespace is not allowed.
The range of allowable values is implementation-dependent, is not specified.

                # int
                '+0' => 0
                '-0' => 0
                '+1234567' => 1234567
                '0777' => 777
