This list catalogs modules that let you traverse your data structure by visiting
each node/item: each element of an array, each key/value pair of a hash,
recursively. Sort of like <pm:File::Find> for your data instead of filesystem.
These modules can be used for searching or modifying your data.

Many modules in this list mimic Perl's `map` interface, for example:
<pm:Data::Rmap>, <pm:Data::Dmap>, <pm:Data::Traverse>. The difference among
these modules lies in the details: in how you specify option to skip unsupported
types of references, or whether some let you control the recursion (e.g.
Data::Rmap's and Data::Dmap's `cut`),

<pm:Data::Walk> models its interface on File::Find. It lets you choose whether
you want to go depth-first or breadth-first.

Benchmarks for these modules coming soon.

Related modules:

<pm:Data::Clean> can be used to clean/sanitize your data structure more
performantly compared to your manual walking (e.g. using Data::Rmap). It works
by generating Perl code specifically for your cleaning needs.

=head1 NAME

Acme::CPANModules::DataStructureWalker - List of modules that traverse your data structure

=head1 VERSION

This document describes version 0.003 of Acme::CPANModules::DataStructureWalker (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-DataStructureWalker), released on 2023-10-29.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This list catalogs modules that let you traverse your data structure by visiting
each node/item: each element of an array, each key/value pair of a hash,
recursively. Sort of like L<File::Find> for your data instead of filesystem.
These modules can be used for searching or modifying your data.

Many modules in this list mimic Perl's C<map> interface, for example:
L<Data::Rmap>, L<Data::Dmap>, L<Data::Traverse>. The difference among
these modules lies in the details: in how you specify option to skip unsupported
types of references, or whether some let you control the recursion (e.g.
Data::Rmap's and Data::Dmap's C<cut>),

L<Data::Walk> models its interface on File::Find. It lets you choose whether
you want to go depth-first or breadth-first.

Benchmarks for these modules coming soon.

Related modules:

L<Data::Clean> can be used to clean/sanitize your data structure more
performantly compared to your manual walking (e.g. using Data::Rmap). It works
by generating Perl code specifically for your cleaning needs.

=head1 FAQ

=head2 What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?

An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module
names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and
document CPAN. See L<Acme::CPANModules> for more details.

=head2 What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?

Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can
install all the listed modules (entries) using L<cpanm-cpanmodules> script (from
L<App::cpanm::cpanmodules> distribution):

 % cpanm-cpanmodules -n DataStructureWalker

Alternatively you can use the L<cpanmodules> CLI (from L<App::cpanmodules>
distribution):
