RFID::LLRP::Builder


SYNOPSIS

This package consists of routines to encode LLRP-XML documents into LLRP Binary Format, and to decode LLRP-XML documents from LLRP Binary format.


DESCRIPTION

LLRP messages and parameters are naturally modelled as XML. This package provides routines to compile LLRP-XML documents into LLRP Binary Format which can then be transmitted to an LLRP Reader.


PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

        use RFID::LLRP::Builder qw(encode_message decode_message);
        use RFID::LLRP::Link qw(reader_connect reader_disconnect read_message);
        my $doc = <<'EOT';
        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
        <GET_READER_CAPABILITIES MessageID="0">
                <RequestedData>0</RequestedData>
        </GET_READER_CAPABILITIES>
        EOT
        my $sock = reader_connect ('speedway-xx-yy-zz');
        $sock->send (encode_message ($doc));
        print (decode_message read_message ($sock))->toString (1);
        reader_disconnect ($sock);


DETAILS


API

encode_message ($document, %options)

This function will take an XML document and encode it as a LLRP Binary formatted message.

$document can be a string, a file name, or a XML::LibXML document.

To supply a string, call encode_message ($str).

To supply a file, call encode_message ($fname, File => 1).

To supply an XML::LibXML document, call encode_message ($xmldoc, Tree => 1).

This routine returns the LLRP Binary formatted message as a string. In most cases, this string will be written to a socket associated with a reader that understands LLRP.

decode_message ($str)

This function accepts an LLRP Binary formatted message decodes it, and returns an analogous LLRP/XML formatted message.

Once in XML format, the LLRP message can be subjected to further analysis or modification using the full power of XML::LibXML and XPath, validated against the LLRP W3C XML Schema (LLRP.xsd), or serialized to a text file for version control or archival purposes.

QualifyCore

This routine accepts the QualifyCore parameter. Its use and purpose is described in the POD for RFID::LLRP::Link transact.
