perl-dap-value

Shared Perl value model for debugger rendering.

This crate models the values that show up in the variables pane: scalars, arrays, hashes, refs, objects, tied values, truncation, and inspection errors. It is the value layer under the DAP transport types.

Boundaries

• Use perl-dap-types for stack frames, sources, and variables.
• Use perl-dap-value when you need to describe what a variable actually contains.
• Use perl-dap when you need to serialize that model into DAP responses.

Key type

• PerlValue

Example

use perl_dap_value::PerlValue;

let value = PerlValue::object(
    "My::Class",
    PerlValue::array(vec![PerlValue::scalar("alpha"), PerlValue::Integer(42)]),
);

assert!(value.is_expandable());
assert_eq!(value.type_name(), "OBJECT");
