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).
