.SH "NAME"
SOAP::Deserializer \- the means by which the toolkit manages the conversion of XML into an object manageable by a developer
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
SOAP::Deserializer provides the means by which incoming \s-1XML\s0 is decoded into a Perl data structure.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.IP "context" 4
.IX Item "context"
This provides access to the calling context of \f(CW\*(C`SOAP::Deserializer\*(C'\fR. In a client side context the often means a reference to an instance of SOAP::Lite. In a server side context this means a reference to a SOAP::Server instance.

.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
.SS "\s-1DESERIALIZING RAW XML INTO A SOAP::SOM OBJECT\s0"
.IX Subsection "DESERIALIZING RAW XML INTO A SOAP::SOM OBJECT"
A useful utility for SOAP::Deserializer is for parsing raw \s-1XML\s0 documents or fragments into a \s-1SOAP::SOM\s0 object. SOAP::Lite developers use this technique to write unit tests for the SOAP::Lite module itself. It is a lot more efficient for testing aspects of the toolkit than generating client calls over the network. This is a perfect way for developers to write unit tests for their custom data types for example.
.PP
Here is an example of how raw \s-1XML\s0 content can be parsed into a \s-1SOAP::SOM\s0 object by using SOAP::Deserializer:
.PP
.Vb 12
\& $xml = <<END_XML;
\& <foo>
\& <person>
\& <foo>123</foo>
\& <foo>456</foo>
\& </person>
\& <person>
\& <foo>789</foo>
\& <foo>012</foo>
\& </person>
\& </foo>
\& END_XML
\&
\& my $som = SOAP::Deserializer\->deserialize($xml);
