=head1 NAME

MKDoc::XML::Dumper - Same as Data::Dumper, but with XML


=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use MKDoc::XML::Dumper;
  use Test::More 'no_plan';
  
  my $stuff  = [ qw /foo bar baz/, [], { hello => 'world', yo => \\'boo' } ];
  my $xml    = MKDoc::XML::Dumper->perl2xml ($stuff);
  my $stuff2 = MKDoc::XML::Dumper->xml2perl ($xml);
  is_deeply ($stuff, $stuff2); # prints 'ok'


=head1 SUMMARY

L<MKDoc::XML::Dumper> provides functionality equivalent to Data::Dumper except that
rather than serializing structures into a Perl string, it serializes them into
a generic XML file format.

Of course since XML cannot be evaled, it also provides a mechanism for undumping
the xml back into a perl structure.

L<MKDoc::XML::Dumper> supports scalar references, hash references, array references,
reference references, and litterals. It also supports circular structures and back
references to avoid creating unwanted extra copies of the same object.

That's all there is to it!


=head1 API

=head2 my $xml = MKDoc::XML::Dumper->perl2xml ($perl);


Turns $perl into an XML string. For instance:

  my $perl = [ qw /foo bar baz/, { adam => 'apple', bruno => 'berry', chris => 'cherry' } ];
  print MKDoc::XML::Dumper->perl2xml ($perl);'


Will print something like:

  <array id="135338912">
    <item key="0">
      <litteral>foo</litteral>
    </item>
    <item key="1">
      <litteral>bar</litteral>
    </item>
    <item key="2">
      <litteral>baz</litteral>
    </item>
    <item key="3">
      <hash id="135338708">
        <item key="bruno">
          <litteral>berry</litteral>
        </item>
        <item key="adam">
          <litteral>apple</litteral>
        </item>
        <item key="chris">
          <litteral>cherry</litteral>
        </item>
      </hash>
    </item>
  </array>


As you can see, every object has an id. This allows for backreferencing, so:

  my $perl = undef;
  $perl    = \$perl;
  print MKDoc::XML::Dumper->perl2xml ($perl);'

  
Prints something like:

  <ref id="135338888">
    <backref id="135338888" />
  </ref>


For the curious, these identifiers are computed using some perl black magic:

  my $id = 0 + $reference;


=head2 my $perl = MKDoc::XML::Dumper->perl2xml ($xml);

Does the exact reverse operation as xml2perl().
