Template::Declare::Bricolage

If you're looking to simplify generating XML for the Bricolage SOAP interface, then Template::Declare::Bricolage is definitely worth checking out. As someone who's experimented with numerous XML-generating libraries in the past, I found this module to be a breath of fresh air.

Essentially, Template::Declare::Bricolage is a simple subclass of Template::Declare that offers a functional interface for templating your XML. All the XML elements understood by the Bricolage SOAP interface are exported from Template::Declare::TagSet::Bricolage, which you can use independently if you require more control over the output.

However, what makes Template::Declare::Bricolage particularly convenient is that it sets up the templating environment and takes care of outputting the top-level element and the XML namespace. This frees you up to simply focus on generating the XML you need to send to Bricolage.

The declarative syntax of Template::Declare is another big plus. You can simply use the elements you require, and the module will take care of the rest.

To use Template::Declare::Bricolage, you'll mainly use the bricolage function. This function begins the XML document with the XML declaration and the top-level element required by the Bricolage SOAP API. You'll then use the formatting functions to generate the XML you need for your assets. That's it!

In addition to all the templating functions exported by Template::Declare::TagSet::Bricolage, the module exports one more function, bricolage. This function helps generate your XML, and you can pass a block with the formatting functions to it.

Overall, using Template::Declare::Bricolage to generate XML for Bricolage SOAP interface is a breeze. It's a simple, convenient, and declarative way of generating XML for this purpose.
