I'm dealing with a SOAP-based web API that delivers 500 records at a time. I'm trying hard -- probably too hard, but I'm stubborn -- to avoid converting the XML results into a database. The schema necessary to map this web service is 300 pages long, so no thanks. Like you, I'm dealing with low IO and prefer to handle my processing in-memory with Perl rather than crafting SQL queries. So, as I indicated in the thread you linked, I deserialize the SOAP response into a complex Perl data structure and then I further shove that into a Mojo::Collection so I can very easily chain methods for grep, sort, map, each, etc. I can also modify the data and then send it back to the web service via SOAP. I'm getting very close to releasing Mojo::Autotask <https://github.com/Keystone-Technologies/mojo-autotask/blob/development/lib/Mojo/Autotask.pm> to CPAN, but there's the development branch to review if you like. This also uses Mojo::Redis for memoizing results. The included Mojo::Collection::Role::Autotask expand method is the equivalent of an SQL 'join'. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mojolicious" group.
