Atom API server software for managing and publishing web content.
XML::Atom::Server is a powerful Perl module that serves as a reliable base class for developers who wish to create their own Atom API servers. The module is capable of handling all core server processing in both the SOAP and REST formats of the protocol, as well as offering WSSE authentication. Additionally, it can operate as either a mod_perl handler or as part of a CGI program, providing versatility.
One of the strengths of XML::Atom::Server is its flexibility. It does not offer functions tailored to any specific implementation, such as posting an entry, retrieving a list of entries, deleting an entry, etc. Instead, developers are expected to subclass the module and override the handle_request method. In doing so, they can take full control of implementation-specific functions and tailor them to their specific needs.
The package My::Server is an example of such an implementation. It subclasses XML::Atom::Server and takes control of handle_request. The module checks for authentication and method type before calling the relevant function. The new_post function is an example of an implementation-specific function that saves XML::Atom::Entry objects.
Overall, XML::Atom::Server provides developers with an incredibly powerful and customizable tool for creating their own Atom API servers. The module is flexible and versatile, offering a solid base class that developers can build from. With its support for both SOAP and REST formats of the protocol, and WSSE authentication, developers have everything they need to create a secure and reliable Atom API server.
