#446 Perl and XML

Book notes - Perl and XML: XML Processing with Perl by Erik T. Ray, Jason McIntosh. First published January 1, 2002.

Notes

I leaned heavily on this book when facing some challenges using Perl to glue together some integrations back the day when XML was all the rage i.e. before JSON.

From the book description:

Contents

2. An XML Recap
3. XML Basics: Reading and Writing
4. Event Streams
5. SAX
6. Tree Processing

10. Coding Strategies

Source Code

Example sources are maintained at https://resources.oreilly.com/examples/9780596002053/. The repo contains a zipped version of the sources, so I uncompress them to an example_source folder after cloning the repo:

git clone https://resources.oreilly.com/examples/9780596002053 example_source_repo
mkdir example_source
tar -zxvf example_source_repo/perl_testing_adn_examples.tar.gz -C ./example_source
