NAME
RPC::XML::Parser::XMLLibXML - A container class for XML::LibXML SYNOPSIS
# This class should rarely (if ever) be used directly: use RPC::XML::ParserFactory 'XML::LibXML'; ... $P = RPC::XML::ParserFactory->new(); $P->parse($message); DESCRIPTION
This class implements the interface defined in the RPC::XML::Parser factory-class (see RPC::XML::Parser) using the XML::LibXML module to handle the actual manipulation of XML. SUBROUTINES
/METHODS This module implements the public-facing methods as described in RPC::XML::Parser: new [ ARGS ] The constructor only recognizes the two parameters specified in the base class (for the RPC::XML::base64 file-spooling operations). parse [ STRING | STREAM ] The parse() method accepts either a string of XML, a filehandle of some sort, or no argument at all. In the latter case, the return value is a parser instance that acts as a push-parser (a non-blocking parser). For the first two types of input, the return value is either a message object (one of RPC::XML::request or RPC::XML::response) or an error. parse_more STRING (Only callable on a push-parser instance) Parses the chunk of XML, which does not have to describe a complete document, and adds it to the current running document. If this method is called on a parser instance that is not a push-parser, an exception is thrown. parse_done (Only callable on a push-parser instance) Finishes the parsing process and returns either a message object (one of RPC::XML::request or RPC::XML::response) or an error (if the document was incomplete, not well-formed, or not valid). If this method is called on a parser instance that is not a push-parser, an exception is thrown. DIAGNOSTICS
All methods return some type of reference on success. The new and parse methods return an error string on failure. The parse_more and parse_done methods may throw exceptions, if the underlying XML::LibXML parser encounters a fatal error. EXTERNAL ENTITIES
As of version 1.15 of this module (version 0.75 of the RPC::XML suite), external entities whose URI is a "file:/" scheme (local file) are explicitly ignored. This is for security purposes. BUGS
Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-rpc-xml at rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=RPC-XML <http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=RPC-XML>.
