Any::Renderer::UrlEncoded - convert data structures into a UrlEncoded string
use Any::Renderer; my %options = ('FlattenOptions' => {'HashDelimiter' => '->'}); my $format = "UrlEncoded"; my $r = new Any::Renderer ( $format, \%options ); my $data_structure = {...}; my $string = $r->render ( $data_structure );
You can get a list of all formats that this module handles using the following syntax:
my $list_ref = Any::Renderer::UrlEncoded::available_formats ();
Also, determine whether or not a format requires a template with requires_template:
my $bool = Any::Renderer::UrlEncoded::requires_template ( $format );
Any::Renderer::UrlEncoded renders a Perl data structure as a URI encoded string. Keys and values are escaped via URI::Escape::uri_escape. For example:
perl -MAny::Renderer -e "print Any::Renderer->new('UrlEncoded')->render({a => 1, b => [2,3]})"
results in:
a=1&b%3A1=3&b%3A0=2
This can be passed as a query string to a CGI script and reconstituted using Hash::Flatten::unflatten:
use CGI; use Hash::Flatten; my $data_structure = Hash::Flatten::unflatten( CGI->new()->Vars() );
NB. the top-level of the data structure must be a hashref.
$format must be UrlEncoded. See "OPTIONS" for a description of valid %options.
$format
UrlEncoded
%options
The main method.
False in this case.
Just the one - UrlEncoded.
The character separating each key=value pair. Defaults to &. You might want to change to ; if you are embedding values in XML documents.
A hashref passed to Hash::Flatten (see Hash::Flatten for the list of options it supports).
