NAME
wtr2_easyobj
SYNOPSYS
perl wtr2_easyobj
DESCRIPTION
This code uses the XML::EasyOBJ manpage to process the invoices
XML::EasyOBJ is built on top of the XML::DOM manpage, and mostly allows for easy navigation
by letting you write $invoice= $doc->InvoiceDetails->InvoiceNumber to
get the invoice number element, and $invoice->getString to get its value.
The fact that tag names (from the document) are used as method names in the code feels a little weird, and it can make name collision possible (XML::EasyOBJ lets you rename methods though, so you can deal with this problem). It makes it really easy to work with these invoices though, the code was easy to write and
The bad news here is that XML::EasyOBJ mostly helps you accessing the data. If you want to create new elements you have to use the DOM methods.
Overall XML::EasyOBJ feels like a very convenient layer on top of the DOM, which lets you easily navigate and access the data in the DOM (making easy things easy), and lets you use native DOM methods for advanced (making harder things possible).
