Any::Renderer 1.014

A renderer in this context is something that turns a data structure into a string. This includes templating engines, serialisers etc.

Any::Renderer is a Perl module that provides a consistent API to these services so that your application can generate output in an extensible variety of formats. Formats currently supported include:

 - XML (via XML::Simple)
 - XML+XSLT
 - Data::Dumper
 - Javascript, Javascript::Anon & JSON
 - UrlEncoded
 - The formats supported by Data::Serializer (e.g. Config::General and Config::Wrest)
 - Any templating language supported by Any::Template

The module will discover any backend modules and offer up their formats. Once loaded, Any::Renderer will look for a module to handle any new formats it doesn't know about, so adding new formats in a persistent environment won't require the module to be reloaded. However if you CHANGE which module provides a format you will need to reload Any::Renderer (e.g. send a SIGHUP to modperl).

SYNOPSIS

 $renderer = new Any::Renderer ( $format, \%options );
 $string = $renderer->render ( $structure );
 $bool = Any::Renderer::requires_template ( $format );
 $list_ref = Any::Renderer::available_formats ();
