This software allows the smooth conversion of tabular data into three different file formats - XML, CSV, and XLS.
Data::Tabular::Dumper is a versatile Perl module that simplifies the process of converting tabular data into various file formats. This feature proves highly beneficial when you need to share data that people may need to process further. As you can't predict the file format that would suit them the best, Data::Tabular::Dumper enables you to provide numerous file formats, allowing the recipients to choose the one they prefer.
Here, tabular data denotes data that has two dimensions, such as a list of lists, a hash of lists, a list of hashes, or a hash of hashes. Additionally, the software facilitates the dumping of three-dimensional data, with each of the top-level elements classified as a "page," and each sub-element being standalone.
While this software can dump multiple kinds of data, providing an example code for each data type would be burdensome. However, testers can check the module's tests to determine what data objects represent.
To use Data::Tabular::Dumper, users can follow the SYNOPSIS, which includes an example of how to use the software to dump tabular data in XML, CSV, and Excel formats. To start using the software, users can write "use Data::Tabular::Dumper" first. The code sample also shows how the software handles both two-dimensional and three-dimensional data structures.
If users would like to control the output further, they can customize how Data::Tabular::Dumper creates their files. For instance, they can call the page_start function to provide a title for the page and the fields function to indicate each field's name. They can then use the write function to output the data they require. Finally, users should call the page end function to wrap up the output.
When using XML format, the output that can be produced is similar to the given example, with the access tag being wrapped within an XML declaration that includes the encoding. Within the access tag are several page tags that consist of individual data points, such as the URI, the number of hits, and bytes.
Overall, Data::Tabular::Dumper is an excellent Perl module that simplifies the data export process by enabling developers to convert it into various file formats uniformly. The software is very flexible, allowing users to adjust its output to meet their requirements.
