JOAP::Types Description

Documentation-only package about data types in JOAP JOAP::Types is a documentation-only Perl package about data types in JOAP.JOAP has a fairly specific set of data types that are used throughout the system. Rather than documenting the types everywhere they're used, this package gives more detail on each type.JOAP borrows its set of datatypes from XML-RPC, as XML-RPC is already used on the Jabber network for application development. Each datatype is defined by a name that is used in, for example, the metadata about attributes and methods.Each type is identified by a string value; these are translated into element tag names in XML format.The definition here is loose; see the full JOAP documenation for details. Although the types come from XML-RPC, the formats of each type are mapped to XML Schema datatypes, which are generally more permissive than XML-RPC.Note also that input for accessors and method parameters are generally marshalled from Perl values to the 'correct' JOAP value format before going on the wire, and back to Perl values when they're taken off the wire. So programmers will generally not have to worry if their values are formatted correctly; the values will automagically go through the JOAP pipe correctly. Requirements: · Perl
