◆ parse_file()

virtual LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::Parser::parse_file ( const std::string &  filename)
pure virtual

Parse an XML document from a file.

Exceptions
exception
Parameters
filenameThe path to the file.

Implemented in xmlpp::SaxParser, and xmlpp::DomParser.

◆ parse_memory()

virtual LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::Parser::parse_memory ( const Glib::ustring &  contents)
pure virtual

Parse an XML document from a string.

Exceptions
exception
Parameters
contentsThe XML document as a string.

Implemented in xmlpp::SaxParser, and xmlpp::DomParser.

◆ parse_memory_raw()

virtual LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::Parser::parse_memory_raw ( const unsigned char *  contents,
size_type  bytes_count 
)
pure virtual

Parse an XML document from raw memory.

Exceptions
exception
Parameters
contentsThe XML document as an array of bytes.
bytes_countThe number of bytes in the contents array.

Implemented in xmlpp::SaxParser, and xmlpp::DomParser.

◆ parse_stream()

virtual LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::Parser::parse_stream ( std::istream &  in)
pure virtual

Parse an XML document from a stream.

Exceptions
exception
Parameters
inThe stream.

Implemented in xmlpp::SaxParser, and xmlpp::DomParser.

◆ release_underlying()

virtual LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::Parser::release_underlying ( )
protectedvirtual

Reimplemented in xmlpp::SaxParser, and xmlpp::DomParser.

◆ set_include_default_attributes()

LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::Parser::set_include_default_attributes ( bool  val = true)
noexcept

Set whether default attribute values from the DTD shall be included in the node tree.

If set, attributes not assigned a value in the XML file, but with a default value in the DTD file, will be included in the node tree that the parser creates. These attributes will be represented by AttributeNode instances (not AttributeDeclaration instances), just like attributes which are assigned a value in the XML file.

Since libxml++ 2.38:
Parameters
valWhether attributes with default values will be included in the node tree.

◆ set_parser_options()

LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::Parser::set_parser_options ( int  set_options = 0,
int  clear_options = 0 
)
noexcept

Set and/or clear parser option flags.

See the libxml2 documentation, enum xmlParserOption, for a list of parser options. This method overrides other methods that set parser options, such as set_validate(), set_substitute_entities() and set_include_default_attributes(). Use set_parser_options() only if no other method can set the parser options you want.

Since libxml++ 2.38:
Parameters
set_optionsSet bits correspond to flags that shall be set during parsing.
clear_optionsSet bits correspond to flags that shall be cleared during parsing. Bits that are set in neither set_options nor clear_options are not affected.

◆ set_substitute_entities()

LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::Parser::set_substitute_entities ( bool  val = true)
noexcept

Set whether the parser will automatically substitute entity references with the text of the entities' definitions.

For instance, this affects the text returned by ContentNode::get_content(). By default, the parser will not substitute entities, so that you do not lose the entity reference information.

Parameters
valWhether entities will be substitued.

◆ set_throw_messages()

LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::Parser::set_throw_messages ( bool  val = true)
noexcept

Set whether the parser will collect and throw error and warning messages.

If messages are collected, they are included in an exception thrown at the end of parsing.

  • DOM parser

    If the messages are not collected, they are written on stderr. The messages written on stderr are slightly different, and may be preferred in a program started from the command-line. The default, if set_throw_messages() is not called, is to collect and throw messages.

  • SAX parser

    If the messages are not collected, the error handling on_*() methods in the user's SAX parser subclass are called. This is the default, if set_throw_messages() is not called.

    Since libxml++ 2.36:
Parameters
valWhether messages will be collected and thrown in an exception.

◆ set_validate()

LIBXMLPP_API void xmlpp::Parser::set_validate ( bool  val = true)
noexcept

By default, the parser will not validate the XML file.

Parameters
valWhether the document should be validated.

◆ set_xinclude_options_internal()

void xmlpp::Parser::set_xinclude_options_internal ( int  xinclude_options)
protectednoexcept
