XML::Parser::YahooRESTGeocode 0.1

SYNOPPSIS use LWP::Simple use XML::Parser; use XML::Parser::YahooRESTGeocode; #connect to yahoo geocode service my $url = http://api.local.yahoo.com/MapsService/V1/geocode; my $get = appid=YahooDemo&street=701+First+Street&city=Sunnyvale&state=CA; #call yahoo geocode service my $xml = get $url . "?" . $get; #construct use XML::Parser with YahooRESTGeocode subclass my $parser = new XML::Parser(Style => YahooRESTGeocode); my $data = $parser->parse($xml) || do { die ("parse failed: $XML::Parser::errstr, $!n"); }; #use the data for something my $cnt = 0; foreach my $result (@{$data->{Result}}){ $cnt ++; print "n---- RESULT #" . $cnt . " ----n"; foreach my $field (keys %{$result}){ print "t[" . $field . "]: " . $result->{$field} . "n"; } } NOTES works for geocode only this module only knows how to handle Yahoo!s REST responses from the geocode API known fields this module will need to be modified if more fields are added to the node, namely, their names will need to be added to the %node_tree hash at the top of the module this was a quick hack hey, maybe theres a better module for parsing REST query responses out there? This module was written as a quick hack, not as a one stop solution. If you want to add improvements or what have you, then please feel free to hack away on this till youre blue in the face. Send me the changes though, so I can put em in the distribution. make test dosent really test anything well ... its a quick hack. part of writing a quick hack is not writing proper test cases and skimping on documentation, speaking of ... why am I still writing ??? thanks to Yahoo! Hey, Yahoo! Thanks for your geocode API, its pretty sweet!.
