NAME Data::Serializable - Moose role that adds serialization support to any class VERSION version 0.40.0 SYNOPSIS package MyClass; use Moose; with 'Data::Serializable'; no Moose; package main; my $obj = MyClass->new( serializer_module => 'JSON' ); my $json = $obj->serialize( "Foo" ); ... my $str = $obj->deserialize( $json ); DESCRIPTION A Moose-based role that enables the consumer to easily serialize/deserialize data structures. The default serializer is Storable, but any serializer in the Data::Serializer hierarchy can be used automatically. You can even install your own custom serializer if the pre-defined ones are not useful for you. ATTRIBUTES throws_exception Defines if methods should throw exceptions or return undef. Default is to throw exceptions. Override default value like this: has '+throws_expection' => ( default => 0 ); serializer_module Name of a predefined module that you wish to use for serialization. Any submodule of Data::Serializer is automatically supported. The built-in support for Storable doesn't require Data::Serializer. serializer If none of the predefined serializers work for you, you can install your own. This should be a code reference that takes one argument (the message to encode) and returns a scalar back to the caller with the serialized data. deserializer Same as serializer, but to decode the data. METHODS serialize($message) Runs the serializer on the specified argument. deserialize($message) Runs the deserializer on the specified argument.
