Answer using MooX::Pression

In this example, Service/XML.pm and Service/JSON.pm are no longer needed; all classes are defined in Service.pm.

use MooX::Pression prefix => 'MyApp';

class ::Service {
    has data     (is => ro, type => Str, required => true);
    has template (is => rw, type => Str, builder => true);
    
    method populate () {
        (my $tmpl = $self->template) =~ s/\[data\]/$self->data/emsi;
        $self->template($tmpl);
    }
    
    method new_by_name (Str $name, Str $data) {
        $name = uc $name;
        my $child = "$class\::$name";
        $child->new(data => $data);
    }
    
    class +XML {
        method _build_template () { '<data>[data]</data>' }
    }
    
    class +JSON {
        method _build_template () { '{"data": [data]}' }
    }
}
