=head1 NAME

Net::EPP::Frame - An EPP XML frame system built on top of L<XML::LibXML>.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

	#!/usr/bin/perl
	use Net::EPP::Client;
	use Net::EPP::Frame;
	use Net::EPP::ObjectSpec;
	use Digest::MD5 qw(md5_hex);
	use Time::HiRes qw(time);
	use strict;

	#
	# establish a connection to an EPP server:
	#
	my $epp = Net::EPP::Client->new(
		host	=> 'epp.registry.tld',
		port	=> 700,
		ssl	=> 1,
		dom	=> 1,
	);

	my $greeting = $epp->connect;

	#
	# log in:
	#
	my $login = Net::EPP::Frame::Command::Login->new;

	$login->clID->appendText($userid);
	$login->pw->appendText($passwd);

	#
	# set the client transaction ID:
	#
	$login->clTRID->appendText(md5_hex(Time::HiRes::time().$$));

	#
	# check the response from the log in:
	#
	my $answer = $epp->request($login);

	my $result = ($answer->getElementsByTagName('result'))[0];
	if ($result->getAttribute('code') != 1000) {
		die("Login failed!");
	}

	#
	# OK, let's do a domain name check:
	#
	my $check = Net::EPP::Frame::Command::Check->new;

	#
	# get the spec from L<Net::EPP::Frame::ObjectSpec>:
	#
	my @spec = Net::EPP::Frame::ObjectSpec->spec('domain');

	#
	# create a domain object using the spec:
	#
	my $domain = $check->addObject(@spec);

	#
	# set the domain name we want to check:
	#
	my $name = $check->createElement('domain:name');
	$name->appendText('example.tld');

	#
	# set the client transaction ID:
	#
	$check->clTRID->appendText(md5_hex(time().$$));

	#
	# assemble the frame:
	#
	$domain->addChild($name);

	#
	# send the request:
	#
	my $answer = $epp->request($check);

	# and so on...

=head1 DESCRIPTION

EPP is the Extensible Provisioning Protocol. EPP (defined in RFC 4930) is an
application layer client-server protocol for the provisioning and management of
objects stored in a shared central repository. Specified in XML, the protocol
defines generic object management operations and an extensible framework that
maps protocol operations to objects. As of writing, its only well-developed
application is the provisioning of Internet domain names, hosts, and related
contact details.

EPP uses XML documents called "frames" send data to and from clients
and servers. This module implements a subclass of the L<XML::LibXML::Document>
module that simplifies the process of creation of these frames. It is designed
to be used alongside the L<Net::EPP::Client> module.

=head1 OBJECT HIERARCHY

    L<XML::LibXML::Node>
    +----L<XML::LibXML::Document>
        +----L<Net::EPP::Frame>


=head1 USAGE

As a rule, you will not need to create Net::EPP::Frame objects directly.
Instead, you should use one of the subclasses included with the distribution.
The subclasses all inherit from Net::EPP::Frame.

Net::EPP::Frame is itself a subclass of L<XML::LibXML::Document> so all the
methods available from that class are also available to instances of
Net::EPP::Frame.

The available subclasses of Net::EPP::Frame exist to add any additional
elements required by the EPP specification. For example, the E<lt>loginE<gt>
frame must contain the E<lt>clIDE<gt> and E<lt>pwE<gt> frames, so when you
create a new L<Net::EPP::Frame::Command::Login> object, you get these already
defined.

These classes also have convenience methods, so for the above example, you can
call the C<$login-E<gt>clID> and C<$login-E<gt>pw> methods to get the
L<XML::LibXML::Node> objects correesponding to those elements.

=head2 RATIONALE

You could just as easily construct your EPP frames from templates or just lots
of C<printf()> calls. But using a programmatic approach such as this strongly
couples the validity of your XML to the validity of your program. If the
process by which your XML is built is broken, I<your program won't run>. This
has to be a win.

=cut

sub new {
	my ($package, $type) = @_;

	if (!$type) {
		my @parts = split(/::/, $package);
		$type = lc(pop(@parts));
	}

	if ($type !~ /^(hello|greeting|command|response)$/) {
		croak("'type' parameter to Net::EPP::Frame::new() must be one of: hello, greeting, command, response ('$type' given).");
		return undef;
	}

	my $self = $package->SUPER::new('1.0', 'UTF-8');
	bless($self, $package);

	my $epp = $self->createElementNS($EPP_URN, 'epp');
	$self->addChild($epp);

	my $el = $self->createElement($type);
	$epp->addChild($el);

	$self->_addExtraElements;

=head1 ADDITIONAL METHODS

	my $str = $frame->formatTimeStamp($timestamp);

This method returns a scalar in the required format (defined in RFC 3339). This
is a convenience method.

=cut

sub formatTimeStamp {
	my ($self, $stamp) = @_;
	return strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.0Z', gmtime($stamp));
}

=pod

	my $node = $frame->getNode($id);
	my $node = $frame->getNode($ns, $id);

This is another convenience method. It uses C<$id> with the
I<getElementsByTagName()> method to get a list of nodes with that element name,
and simply returns the first L<XML::LibXML::Element> from the list.

If C<$ns> is provided, then I<getElementsByTagNameNS()> is used.

=cut

sub getNode {
	my ($self, @args) = @_;
	if (scalar(@args) == 2) {
		return ($self->getElementsByTagNameNS(@args))[0];

	} elsif (scalar(@args) == 1) {
		return ($self->getElementsByTagName($args[0]))[0];

	} else {
		croak('Invalid number of arguments to getNode()');

	}
}

=pod

	my $binary = $frame->header;

Returns a scalar containing the frame length packed into binary. This is
only useful for low-level protocol stuff.

=cut

sub header {
	my $self = shift;
	return pack('N', length($self->toString) + 4);
}

=pod

	my $data = $frame->frame;

Returns a scalar containing the frame header (see the I<header()> method
above) concatenated with the XML frame itself. This is only useful for
low-level protocol stuff.

=cut

sub frame {
	my $self = shift;
	return $self->header.$self->toString;
}

=back

Each subclass has its own subclasses for various objects, for example L<Net::EPP::Frame::Command::Check::Domain> creates C<E<lt>checkE<gt>> frame for domain names.

Coverage for all combinations of command and object type is not complete, but work is ongoing.
