NAME

XML::Fast - turn XML into a Raku hash in a cheap and cheerful fashion

SYNOPSIS

use JSON::Fast;
use XML::Fast;

my $xml = q:to/END_XML/;
<root>
  <person>
    <name>John</name>
    <age>30</age>
  </person>
  <person>
    <name>Jane</name>
    <age>25</age>
  </person>
</root>
END_XML

my $json = to-json(from-xml($xml));
say $json;

DESCRIPTION

This is a very simple way of turning XML data into a Raku data structure, it doesn't offer any control over how this is done. Please see the README for an explanation as to why it exists.

There is a single exported function from-xml which takes either an XML string or a single LibXML::Element.

There is no to-xml as this would imply the ability to round-trip the data accurately, too much information is lost about the structure of the original XML to make this meaningful.
