NAME
AnyEvent::XMPP::Node - XML node tree helper for the parser.
SYNOPSIS
use AnyEvent::XMPP::Node;
...
DESCRIPTION
This class represens a XML node. AnyEvent::XMPP should usually not require messing with the parse tree, but sometimes it is neccessary.
If you experience any need for messing with these and feel AnyEvent::XMPP should rather take care of it drop me a mail, feature request or
most preferably a patch!
Every AnyEvent::XMPP::Node has a namespace, attributes, text and child nodes.
You can access these with the following methods:
METHODS
new ($ns, $el, $attrs, $parser)
Creates a new AnyEvent::XMPP::Node object with the node tag name $el in the namespace URI $ns and the attributes $attrs. The $parser
must be the instance of "AnyEvent::XMPP::Parser" which generated this node.
name
The tag name of this node.
namespace
Returns the namespace URI of this node.
eq ($namespace_or_alias, $name) or eq ($node)
Returns true whether the current element matches the tag name $name in the namespaces pointed at by $namespace_or_alias.
You can either pass an alias that was defined in AnyEvent::XMPP::Namespaces or pass an namespace URI in $namespace_or_alias. If no
alias with the name $namespace_or_alias was found in AnyEvent::XMPP::Namespaces it will be interpreted as namespace URI.
The first argument to eq can also be another AnyEvent::XMPP::Node instance.
eq_ns ($namespace_or_alias) or eq_ns ($node)
This method return true if the namespace of this instance of AnyEvent::XMPP::Node matches the namespace described by
$namespace_or_alias or the namespace of the $node which has to be another AnyEvent::XMPP::Node instance.
See "eq" for the meaning of $namespace_or_alias.
attr ($name)
Returns the contents of the $name attribute.
add_node ($node)
Adds a sub-node to the current node.
nodes
Returns a list of sub nodes.
add_text ($string)
Adds character data to the current node.
text
Returns the text for this node.
find_all (@path)
This method does a recursive descent through the sub-nodes and fetches all nodes that match the last element of @path.
The elements of @path consist of a array reference to an array with two elements: the namespace key known by the $parser and the
tagname we search for.
write_on ($writer)
This writes the current node out to the AnyEvent::XMPP::Writer object in $writer.
as_string ()
This method returns the original character representation of this XML element (and it's children nodes). Please note that the string is
a unicode string, meaning: to get octets use:
my $octets = encode ('UTF-8', $node->as_string);
Now you can roll stunts like this:
my $libxml = XML::LibXML->new;
my $doc = $libxml->parse_string (encode ('UTF-8', $node->as_string ()));
(You can use your favorite XML parser :)
append_raw ($string)
This method is called by the parser to store original strings of this element.
to_sax_events ($handler)
This method takes anything that can receive SAX events. See also XML::GDOME::SAX::Builder or XML::Handler::BuildDOM or
XML::LibXML::SAX::Builder.
With this you can convert this node to any DOM level 2 structure you want:
my $builder = XML::LibXML::SAX::Builder->new;
$node->to_sax_events ($builder);
my $dom = $builder->result;
print "Canonized: " . $dom->toStringC14N . "
";
