=head1 SYNOPSIS

    my $client = Net::HTTP::Spore->new_from_spec('twitter.json');

    # for identica
    my $client = Net::HTTP::Spore->new_from_spec('twitter.json', base_url => 'http://identi.ca/com/api');

    $client->enable('Format::JSON');

    my $timeline = $client->public_timeline(format => 'json');
    my $tweets = $timeline->body;

    foreach my $tweet (@$tweets) {
        print $tweet->{user}->{screen_name}. " says ".$tweet->{text}."\n";
    }

    my $friends_timeline = $client->friends_timeline(format => 'json');

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is an implementation of the SPORE specification. To use this client, you need to use or to write a SPORE specification of an API. Some specifications are available L<http://github.com/SPORE/api-description>.

=head2 CLIENT CREATION

First you need to create a client. This can be done using two methods, B<new_from_spec> and B<new_from_string>. The client will read the specification file to create a appropriate methods to interact with the API.

=head2 MIDDLEWARES

It's possible to activate some middlewares to extend the usage of the client. If you're using an API that discuss in JSON, you can enable the middleware L<Net::HTTP::Spore::Middleware::JSON>.

    $client->enable('Format::JSON');

or only on some path

    $client->enable_if(sub{$_->[0]->path =~ m!/path/to/json/stuff!}, 'Format::JSON');

=head2 METHODS

=over 4

=item new_from_spec($specification_file, %args)

Create and return a L<Net::HTTP::Spore::Core> object, with methods
generated from the specification file. The specification file can
either be a file on disk or a remote URL.

=item new_from_string($specification_string, %args)

Create and return a L<Net::HTTP::Spore::Core> object, with methods
generated from the specification string.
