    # Read below for a list of options
    my $n = NIOS->new(
        username  => "username",
        password  => "password",
        wapi_addr => "10.0.0.1",
    );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Perl bindings for L<https://www.infoblox.com/company/why-infoblox/nios-platform/>

=head2 Normal usage

Normally, you will add some traits to the client, primarily L<DNS::NIOS::Traits::ApiMethods>
since it provides methods for some endpoints.

=head2 Minimal usage

Without any traits, DNS::NIOS provides access to all API endpoints using the methods described below.

=head1 METHODS

=over

=item * All methods require a path parameter that can be either a resource type (eg: "record:a") or a WAPI Object reference.

=item * All methods return a L<DNS::NIOS::Response> object.

=back

=head2 create

    # Create a new A record:
    my $x = $n->create(
        path => "record:a",
        payload => {
            name     => "rhds.ext.home",
            ipv4addr => "10.0.0.1",
            extattrs => {
                "Tenant ID"       => { value => "home" },
                "CMP Type"        => { value => "OpenStack" },
                "Cloud API Owned" => { value => "True" }
            }
        }
    );

=head2 delete

    # Delete a WAPI Object Reference
    $x = $n->delete(path => $object_ref);

=head2 get

    # List all A records with:
    #   pagination
    #   limiting results to 1
    #   returning response as an object
    $x = $n->get(
        path   => 'record:a',
        params => {
            _paging           => 1,
            _max_results      => 1,
            _return_as_object => 1
        }
    );

=head2 update

    # Update a WAPI Object Reference
    $x = $n->update(
        path    => $object_ref,
