NAME

    WebService::Braintree - A Client Library for wrapping the Braintree
    Payment Services Gateway API

 FORK

    This is a fork of the original vendor-issued Net::Braintree. While the
    original is deprecated, it continues to work. However, it contains a
    number of code-style and maintainability problems. This fork was
    produced to address some of those problems and to provide a community
    driven basis for going forward.

 DOCUMENTATION

    The module is sparesly documented at best. The public facing API is
    very similar to the ruby libraries which are documented at
    https://developers.braintreepayments.com/ruby/sdk/server/overview.

    You can also look over the test suite for guidance of usage, especially
    the xt/sandbox tests. Not all of these tests work (ones marked
    todo_skip). This is because they are an adaptation of code used against
    Braintree's private integration server. Care has been taken that the
    same sandbox tests that fail in this module also fail for
    Net::Braintree, and in the same manner.

 ISSUES

    The bugtracker is at
    https://github.com/braintree/braintree_perl/issues.

    Patches welcome!

 TODO/WISHLIST/ROADMAP

    There is no pod documentation.

    Sandbox tests fail

      Some of this is likely because the sandbox account needs to be set up
      just right, and some may be because the paypal test integration
      server is emulating stateful transactions.

    Excessive metaobject wrangling

      The usage of Moose in this code is subomtimal. In particular the
      following classes use the metaobject in a way that makes what is
      happening difficult to understand:

      WebService::Braintree::ResultObject

	This class is now the only one that is not immutable in the
	codebase. Unpicking how to make this immutable is problematic. Once
	this package is immutable a port to Moo is likely straightforward.

      WebService::Braintree::AdvancedSearchFields

      WebService::Braintree::SubscriptionSearch

      WebService::Braintree::CreditCardVerificationSearch

      WebService::Braintree::CustomerSearch

      WebService::Braintree::Result

      WebService::Braintree::TransactionSearch

      Also, having stared at the internals of some objects in the perl
      debugger for a bit, I fear there may be memory leaks, but I have not
      investigated this closely. It's also possible that the way that
      several of the above methods use a $field variable in package lexical
      scope that this module may not be fork-safe. These concerns also
      apply to Net::Braintree (only it has a bigger memory footprint).
