# Attean::API::Parser(3pm)

Parser role

## NAME

Attean::API::Parser - Parser role

## VERSION

This document describes Attean::API::Parser version 0.035

## DESCRIPTION

The Attean::API::Parser role defines a common API for all parsers of typed objects from data (either a byte string or a filehandle).

## ATTRIBUTES

The following attributes exist:

- "handler"

  A code reference that will be called during callback-variant parsing  methods. This attribute has a default (no-op function), so specifying it is not necessary if using iterator- or list-variant parsing methods.

## REQUIRED METHODS

The following methods are required by the Attean::API::Parser role:

- "canonical\_media\_type"

  Returns the canonical media type string for the format of this parser.

- "media\_types"

  Returns an ARRAY reference of media type strings that are acceptable as input to this parser.

- "handled\_type"

  Returns a Type::Tiny object representing the type of items that result from parsing.

- "file\_extensions"

  Returns an ARRAY reference of file extensions commonly associated with the media types supported by the parser (and returned by `"media_types"`). File extensions should NOT include a leading dot.

- "new\_iri( value =\> $value )"

  Constructs and returns a new Attean::IRI object, respecting the parser's `"lazy_iris"` attribute.

- "new\_literal( value =\> $value, \[ datatype =\> $dt, \] \[ language =\> $lang \])"

  Constructs and returns a new Attean::Literal object.
