MQUL - General purpose, MongoDB-style query and update language

=head1 SYNOPSIS

	use MQUL qw/doc_matches update_doc/;

	my $doc = {
		title => 'Freaks and Geeks',
		genres => [qw/comedy drama/],
		imdb_score => 9.4,
		seasons => 1,
		starring => ['Linda Cardellini', 'James Franco', 'Jason Segel'],
		likes => { up => 45, down => 11 }
	};

	if (doc_matches($doc, {
		title => qr/geeks/i,
		genres => 'comedy',
		imdb_score => { '$gte' => 5, '$lte' => 9.5 },
		starring => { '$type' => 'array', '$size' => 3 },
		'likes.up' => { '$gt' => 40 }
	})) {
		# will be true in this example
	}

	update_doc($doc, {
		'$set' => { title => 'Greeks and Feaks' },
		'$pop' => { genres => 1 },
		'$inc' => { imdb_score => 0.6 },
		'$unset' => { seasons => 1 },
		'$push' => { starring => 'John Francis Daley' },
	});

	# $doc will now be:
	{
		title => 'Greeks and Feaks',
		genres => ['comedy'],
		imdb_score => 10,
		starring => ['Linda Cardellini', 'James Franco', 'Jason Segel', 'John Francis Daley'],
		likes => { up => 45, down => 11 }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

MQUL (for BongoDB-style Buery & Bpdate Banguage; pronounced
I<"umm, cool">; yeah, I know, that's the dumbest thing ever), is a general
purpose implementation of L's query and update language. The
implementation is not 100% compatible, but it only slightly deviates from
MongoDB's behavior, actually extending it a bit.

The module exports two subroutines: C and C.
The first subroutine takes a document, which is really just a hash-ref (of
whatever complexity), and a query hash-ref built in the MQUL query language.
It returns a true value if the document matches the query, and a
false value otherwise. The second subroutine takes a document and an update
hash-ref built in the MQUL update language. The subroutine modifies the document
(in-place) according to the update hash-ref.

You can use this module for whatever purpose you see fit. It was actually
written for L, my Git-database, and was extracted from its
original code. Outside of the database world, I plan to use it in an application
that performs tests (such as process monitoring for example), and uses the
query language to determine whether the results are valid or not (in our
monitoring example, that could be CPU usage above a certain threshold and
stuff like that). It is also used by L, an in-memory clone of
MongoDB.

=head2 UPGRADE NOTES

My distributions follow the L,
so whenever the major version changes, that means that API changes incompatible
with previous versions have been made. Always read the Changes file before upgrading.

=head2 THE LANGUAGE

The language itself is described in L. This document
only describes the interface of this module.

The reference document also details MQUL's current differences from the
original MongoDB language.

=head1 INTERFACE

=head2 doc_matches( \%document, [ \%query, \@defs ] )

Receives a document hash-ref and possibly a query hash-ref, and returns
true if the document matches the query, false otherwise. If no query
is given (or an empty hash-ref is given), true will be returned (every
document will match an empty query - in accordance with MongoDB).

See L to learn about the structure of
query hash-refs.

Optionally, an even-numbered array reference of dynamically calculated
attribute definitions can be provided. For example:

	[ min_val => { '$min' => ['attr1', 'attr2', 'attr3' ] },
	  max_val => { '$max' => ['attr1', 'attr2', 'attr3' ] },
	  difference => { '$diff' => ['max_val', 'min_val'] } ]

This defines three dynamic attributes: C, C and
C, which is made up of the first two.

See L for more information
about dynamic attributes.

after the update. If the update hash-ref doesn't have any of the update
modifiers described by the language, then the update hash-ref is considered

hash-ref (once again, in accordance with MongoDB).

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

=over

=item C<< MQUL::doc_matches() requires a document hash-ref. >>

This error means that you've either haven't passed the C
subroutine any parameters, or given it a non-hash-ref document.

=item C<< MQUL::doc_matches() expects a query hash-ref. >>

This error means that you've passed the C attribute a
non-hash-ref query variable. While you don't actually have to pass a
query variable, if you do, it has to be a hash-ref.

=item C<< MQUL::update_doc() requires a document hash-ref. >>

This error means that you've either haven't passed the C
subroutine any parameters, or given it a non-hash-ref document.

=item C<< MQUL::update_doc() requires an update hash-ref. >>

This error means that you've passed the C subroutine a
non-hash-ref update variable.

=item C<< The %s attribute is not an array in the doc. >>

This error means that your update hash-ref tries to modify an array attribute
(with C<$push>, C<$pushAll>, C<$addToSet>, C<$pull>, C<$pullAll>,
C<$pop>, C<$shift> and C<$splice>), but the attribute in the document
provided to the C subroutine is not an array.
