Detailed Description

SAX XML parser.

Derive your own class and override the on_*() methods. SAX = Simple API for XML

In a system that does not support std::exception_ptr: If an overridden on_*() method throws an exception which is not derived from xmlpp::exception, that exception is replaced by a xmlpp::exception before it is propagated out of the parse method, such as parse_file().

◆ SaxParser()

LIBXMLPP_API xmlpp::SaxParser::SaxParser ( bool  use_get_entity = false)
Parameters
use_get_entitySet this to true if you will override on_get_entity(). In theory, if you do not override on_get_entity() the parser should behave exactly the same whether you use true or false here. But the default implementation of on_get_entity(), needed if you override on_get_entity() might not have the same behaviour as the underlying default behaviour of libxml, so the libxml implementation is the default here.

Member Function Documentation

◆ finish_chunk_parsing()

LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::SaxParser::finish_chunk_parsing ( )

Finish a chunk-wise parse.

Call this after the last call to parse_chunk() or parse_chunk_raw(). Don't use this function with the other parsing methods.

Exceptions
xmlpp::internal_error
xmlpp::parse_error
xmlpp::validity_error

◆ initialize_context()

LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::SaxParser::initialize_context ( )

Reimplemented from xmlpp::Parser.

◆ on_entity_declaration()

virtual LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::SaxParser::on_entity_declaration ( const Glib::ustring &  name,
XmlEntityType  type,
const Glib::ustring &  publicId,
const Glib::ustring &  systemId,
const Glib::ustring &  content 
)
protectedvirtual

Override this to receive information about every entity declaration.

If you override this function, and you want normal entity substitution to work, then you must call the base class in your override.

This would be useful when overriding on_get_entity().

Exceptions
xmlpp::internal_error

◆ on_error()

virtual LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::SaxParser::on_error ( const Glib::ustring &  text)
protectedvirtual

◆ on_fatal_error()

virtual LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::SaxParser::on_fatal_error ( const Glib::ustring &  text)
protectedvirtual
Exceptions
xmlpp::parse_error

◆ on_get_entity()

virtual LIBXMLPP_API _xmlEntity* xmlpp::SaxParser::on_get_entity ( const Glib::ustring &  name)
protectedvirtual

Override this method to resolve entities references in your derived parser, instead of using the default entity resolution, or to be informed when entity references are encountered.

If you override this function then you must also specify true for use_get_entity constructor parameter. You will probably need to override on_entity_declaration() as well so that you can use that information when resolving the entity reference.

This is known to be difficult, because it requires both an understanding of the W3C specifications and knowledge of the libxml internals. Entity resolution is easier with the DomParser.

Call this method in this base class for default processing. For instance, if you just want to know about the existence of an entity reference, without affecting the normal substitution, just override and call the base class.

Unlike the DomParser, the SaxParser will also tell you about entity references for the 5 predefined entities.

Parameters
nameThe entity reference name.
Returns
The resolved xmlEntity for the entity reference, or nullptr if not found. You must include libxml/parser.h in order to use this C struct. This instance will not be freed by the caller.

◆ on_internal_subset()

virtual LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::SaxParser::on_internal_subset ( const Glib::ustring &  name,
const Glib::ustring &  publicId,
const Glib::ustring &  systemId 
)
protectedvirtual

Override this to receive information about the document's DTD and any entity declarations.

◆ on_start_document()

virtual LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::SaxParser::on_start_document ( )
protectedvirtual

◆ on_start_element()

virtual LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::SaxParser::on_start_element ( const Glib::ustring &  name,
const AttributeList attributes 
)
protectedvirtual

◆ on_warning()

protectedvirtual

◆ parse_chunk()

LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::SaxParser::parse_chunk ( const Glib::ustring &  chunk)

Parse a chunk of data.

This lets you pass a document in small chunks, e.g. from a network connection. The on_* virtual functions are called each time the chunks provide enough information to advance the parser.

The first call to parse_chunk() will setup the parser. When the last chunk has been parsed, call finish_chunk_parsing() to finish the parse.

Parameters
chunkThe next piece of the XML document.
Exceptions
xmlpp::internal_error
xmlpp::parse_error
xmlpp::validity_error

◆ parse_chunk_raw()

LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::SaxParser::parse_chunk_raw ( const unsigned char *  contents,
size_type  bytes_count 
)

Parse a chunk of data.

Since libxml++ 2.24:

This lets you pass a document in small chunks, e.g. from a network connection. The on_* virtual functions are called each time the chunks provide enough information to advance the parser.

The first call to parse_chunk_raw() will setup the parser. When the last chunk has been parsed, call finish_chunk_parsing() to finish the parse.

Parameters
contentsThe next piece of the XML document as an array of bytes.
bytes_countThe number of bytes in the contents array.
Exceptions
xmlpp::internal_error
xmlpp::parse_error
xmlpp::validity_error

◆ parse_file()

LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::SaxParser::parse_file ( const std::string &  filename)
overridevirtual

Parse an XML document from a file.

Parameters
filenameThe path to the file.
Exceptions

◆ parse_memory()

LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::SaxParser::parse_memory ( const Glib::ustring &  contents)
