Bug#478251: ITP: libdata-stag-perl -- Structured Tags datastructures
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Charles Plessy <plessy@debian.org>
Package name : libdata-stag-perl
Version : 0.10
Upstream Author : Chris Mungall <cjm AT fruitfly DOT org>
URL : http://stag.sourceforge.net
License : Artistic | GPL-1+ (same terms as perl itself)
Programming Lang: Perl
Description : Structured Tags datastructures
This module is for manipulating data as hierarchical tag/value
pairs (Structured TAGs or Simple Tree AGgreggates). These
datastructures can be represented as nested arrays, which have the
advantage of being native to perl. A simple example is shown below:
.
[ person=> [ [ family_name => $family_name ],
[ given_name => $given_name ],
[ phone_no => $phone_no ] ] ],
.
Data::Stag uses a subset of XML for import and export. This
means the module can also be used as a general XML parser/writer (with
certain caveats).
The packaging is mostly the work of David Paleino and is almost finished.
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-med/trunk/packages/glam2/trunk/?rev=0&sc=0
I am finishing to polish the details, and will sponsor the package after
getting the green light from David and the Debian Perl team. This package is
needed for libgo-perl, that is needed for a biological format (GFF3) validator.
