Mojo as a HTTP
A new beginning

In the beginning
there was LWP

First Changelog Entry:

Thu 18 May 1995 Martijn Koster
<m.koster@nexor.co.uk>

o Mentioned on libwww-perl that I had
changed the classes around lots.

Became wildly popular,
default choice for
HTTP in Perl.

Clunky API
No Async
No Web Socket
...

The time is ripe for
a new beginning.

perl -Mojo -e'
g("vg.no/")
->dom(".article-content h3
a")
->each(sub {
b(shift->text)
->decode->say })'

Actually, it didn’t
happen just like that.

Took over Maypole.
Wanted to make
radical changes

Created Catalyst.
Wanted to make
radical changes

Made Mojolicious.
Wanted to target
PHP developers & Perl

Ease of install/porting
➜
Only Perl5 core
dependencies

Bootstrapping:
curl -L cpanmin.us |
sudo perl - Mojolicious

Wrote an async
HTTP 1.1
compliant stack

Mojo::Transaction
Mojo::Message::Response
Mojo::Cookie
Mojo::URL
+++

Next logical step:
Add a client on top of
this stack.

Mojo == Lego
Built from reusable
bricks.

my $callback = sub {

print shift−>res−>body
};
$client−>get('http://mojolicious.org' =>
$callback);
$client−>get('http://search.cpan.org' =>
$callback);
$client−>start;

# Form post with exception handling
my $cpan = 'http://search.cpan.org/search';
my $search = {q => 'mojo'};
my $tx = $client−>post_form($cpan => $search);
if (my $res = $tx−>success) {
print $res−>body
} else {
my ($message, $code) = $tx−>error;
print "Error: $message";
}

$client−>websocket(
'ws://websockets.org:8787' =>
sub {
my $client = shift;
$client−>on_message( sub {
my ($client, $message) = @_;
print "$messagen";
$client−>ﬁnish;
});
$client−>send_message('hiya!');
})−>start;

Collection of single
letter commands.

#ojo module
my $res = g( 'http://mojolicio.us',
{'Content−Type' => 'text/plain'},
'Hello!' );

perl -Mojo -e 'b(g("mojolicio.us")->dom->at("title")->text)->say'

perl -Mojo -E'g("bloomberg.com")->dom("a.story_link")->each(sub { say
shift->text; })'

perl -Mojo -E'g("digg.com")->dom("a.story-title")->each(sub { say pop, ". ",
shift->text })'

# Undocumented o(fun) Mojolicious cloud function:
perl -Mojo -e 'oO("http://www.reddit.com")->dom->ﬁnd("a.title")-
>each(sub { Oo(pop . ". " . shift->text)->say })'

Supports all CSS3
selectors that
make sense

*
E[foo=”bar”]
E:checked
E:empty
E:nth-child
E:ﬁrst-of-type
E:not(s)
EF
E>F
++++

o(fun)
If you need performance
use libXML

Supports IPV6,
TLS,proxies, epoll,
kqueue

DEBUG MODE
ENV VARIABLE
MOJO_CLIENT_DEBUG=1
perl -Mojo -E’...’

# Streaming response
my $tx = $client−>build_tx(GET =>
'http://mojolicious.org');
$tx−>res−>body(sub { print $_[1] });
$client−>start($tx);

# Custom socket
my $tx = $client−>build_tx(GET =>
'http://mojolicious.org');
$tx−>connection($socket);
$client−>start($tx);

Big Body
Just Works
(temp storage on
ﬁlesystem)

$res->json
Automatic JSON
deserialization

o(fun)
Every ﬁle in the distro
has a Simpsons or
Futurama quote.

Now also handles
disconnected keep-alive
gracefully.
(this was not the case when
we started using it).

You provide
failing test. kraih
provides ﬁx.
