#NAME

Data::Printer::Filter::Web - pretty-printing of HTTP/JSON/LWP/Plack/Dancer/Catalyst/Mojo...

#SYNOPSIS

In your .dataprinter file:

filters = Web

You may also customize the look and feel with the following options (defaults shown):

filter_web.show_class_name          = 0
filter_web.expand_headers           = 1
filter_web.show_redirect            = 1
filter_web.show_request_in_response = 0

# you can even customize your themes:
colors.filter_web_json_true         = #ccffcc
colors.filter_web_json_false        = #ffcccc
colors.filter_web_cookie            = #0b3e21
colors.filter_web_method            = #fefe33
colors.filter_web_uri               = $fefe88
colors.filter_web_response_success  = #fefe33
colors.filter_web_response_info     = #fefe33
colors.filter_web_response_redirect = #fefe33
colors.filter_web_response_error    = #fefe33

#DESCRIPTION

This is a filter plugin for Data::Printer. It filters through several web-related objects and display their content in a (hopefully!) more useful way than a regular dump.

#PARSED MODULES

#JSON

Because Perl has no true or false tokens, many JSON parsers implement boolean objects to represent those. With this filter, you'll get "true" and "false" (which is what probably you want to see) instead of an object dump on those booleans. This module filters through the following modules:

JSON::PP, JSON::XS, JSON, JSON::MaybeXS, Cpanel::JSON::XS, JSON, JSON::SL, Pegex::JSON, JSON::Tiny, JSON::Any, JSON::DWIW and Mojo::JSON.

Also, if you use JSON::Typist to parse your JSON strings, a Data::Printer dump using this filter will always properly print numbers as numbers and strings as strings.

#COOKIES

This filter is able to handle cookies from Dancer/Dancer2 and Mojolicious frameworks. Other frameworks like Catalyst rely on HTTP::CookieJar and HTTP::Cookies, which simply store them in a hash, not an object.

#HTTP REQUEST/RESPONSE

HTTP::Request and HTTP::Response objects are filtered to display headers and content. These are returned by LWP::UserAgent, WWW::Mechanize and many others.

If the response comes from chained redirects (that the source HTTP::Response object knows about), this filter will show you the entire redirect chain above the actual object. You may disable this by changing the filter_web.show_redirect option.
