NAME XML::NewsML_G2 - generate NewsML-G2 news items VERSION 0.2.6 INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install SYNOPSIS use XML::NewsML_G2; my $provider = XML::NewsML_G2::Provider->new (qcode => 'nsa', name => 'News Somewhere Agency'); my $ni = XML::NewsML_G2::News_Item_Text->new (title => 'My first NewsML-G2 news item', language => 'en', provider => $provider); my $writer = XML::NewsML_G2::Writer::News_Item->new(news_item => $ni); my $dom = $writer->create_dom(); print $dom->serialize(1); DESCRIPTION This module tries to implement the creation of XML files conforming to the NewsML-G2 specification as published by the IPTC. It does not aim to implement the complete standard, but to cover the most common use cases in a best-practice manner. For the full specification of the format, visit http://www.newsml-g2.org/. For a quick introduction, you might prefer the Quick Start Guides. GETTING STARTED To start, you need to create an instance of the item class of your choice, e.g. XML::NewsML_G2::NewsML_G2_Text for a text story, or XML::NewsML_G2::News_Item_Picture for an image. Each of these classes might have some required attributes (e.g. `title', `language', `provider'), which you will have to provide when creating the instance, as well as a number of optional ones (e.g. `note'). While for some attributes scalar values will do, others will require further instances of classes, e.g. for `provider' you will need an instance of XML::NewsML_G2::Provider. Please see each class' documentation for details. Once you're done setting up your data structure, you have to create a writer instance in order to retrieve your DOM. For simple news items like text or picture, XML::NewsML_G2::Writer::News_Item will be the writer class to use. CURRENT STATUS The implementation currently supports text, picture, video, audio, graphics, as well as multimedia packages and slideshows. Version 2.18 is the latest version of the standard supported by this software, and should be your first choice. Using versions 2.9, 2.12 and 2.15 is deprecated, and support for it will beremoved in future releases.
