31 =head1 NAME
32
33 XML::XUpdate::XSLT - A perl module for updating xml documents using XUpdate via XSLT.
34
35
36 =head3 Overview
37
38 This is not the same xupdate currently available from CPAN at
39 http://search.cpan.org/author/PAJAS/XML-XUpdate-LibXML-0.4.0/xupdate .
40
41 Its intention - however - is identical:
42 xupdate - Process XUpdate commands against an XML document.
43
44
45 =head4 Their implementations differ:
46
47 1. xupdate (by Petr Pajas) uses ...
48 XML::XUpdate::LibXML - Simple implementation of XUpdate format
49
50 ... which is based on XML::LibXML which in turn is:
51 [...]
52 This module is an interface to the gnome libxml2 DOM parser (no SAX parser support yet),
53 and the DOM tree. It also provides an XML::XPath-like findnodes() interface, providing
54 access to the XPath API in libxml2.
55 [...]
56
57 2. This xupdate attempts to implement the XUpdate specs using XSLT only.
58
59
60 =head4 Yet another xupdate - facts in short:
61
62 S: It would be nice to have a pure perl thingy which does (almost) the same stuff....
63
64 Q: Can we achieve compliance with its (XML::XUpdate::LibXML) API? (or just a subset ....)
65
66 Q: Can we achieve the processing using CPAN's XML::XSLT?
67 S: Proposal: XML::XUpdate::XSLT!?
68
69 Q: Can we mimic/use the interface of the - already established - 'xupdate' program???
70
71 Q: Should we follow the CRUD path first?
72 (CRUD is the acronym for the datastore action primitives: Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete)
73 S?: Proposal: XML::XUpdate::XSLT::API uses XML::XUpdate::XSLT::CRUD

94
95
96 =head3 Todo
97
98 o What about proper encoding? (ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8)
99 o Is it possible to create the required "xsl_template.xml" at runtime via XSL itself?
100 o Cache contents of external files (*.xml). Performance!
101 o Can exception / error-code handling be improved somehow?
102 Esp.: It would be interesting, if the XUpdate payload actually could be applied, or not...
103 o <xupdate:if>, etc.
