Overview

Pod4, which:

  • will gather data from absolutely anything. Nebulous, Sequel, Pg, TinyTds, whatever. Add your own on the fly.

  • will allow you to define models which are genuinely represent the data your way, not the way the data source sees it.

  • is hopefully simple and clean; just a very light helper layer with the absolute minimum of magic or surprises for the developer.

For more information:

  • There is a short tutorial in the readme.

  • you should look at the contract Pod4 makes with its callers – you should find all that you need in the classes Pod4::Interface and Pod4::Model.

  • Or, read the tests, of course.
