xml::sax::expat

Expat(3)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						  Expat(3)

NAME

       XML::SAX::Expat - SAX2 Driver for Expat (XML::Parser)

SYNOPSIS

	 use XML::SAX::Expat;
	 use XML::SAX::MyFooHandler;
	 my $h = XML::SAX::MyFooHandler->new;
	 my $p = XML::SAX::Expat->new(Handler => $h);
	 $p->parse_file('/path/to/foo.xml');

DESCRIPTION

       This is an implementation of a SAX2 driver sitting on top of Expat (XML::Parser) which Ken MacLeod posted to perl-xml and which I have
       updated.

       It is still incomplete, though most of the basic SAX2 events should be available. The SAX2 spec is currently available from
       http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/~checkout~/perl-xml/libxml-perl/doc/sax-2.0.html?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/html

       A more friendly URL as well as a PODification of the spec are in the works.

METHODS

       The methods defined in this class correspond to those listed in the PerlSAX2 specification, available above.

FEATURES AND CAVEATS

       supported_features
	 Returns:

	   * http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities
	   * http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities
	   * [ Features supported by ancestors ]

	 Turning one of the first two on also turns the other on (this maps to the XML::Parser ParseParamEnts option). This may be fixed in the
	 future, so don't rely on this behaviour.

MISSING PARTS

       XML::Parser has no listed callbacks for the following events, which are therefore not presently generated (ways may be found in the
       future):

	 * ignorable_whitespace
	 * skipped_entity
	 * start_entity / end_entity
	 * resolve_entity

       Ways of signalling them are welcome. In addition to those, set_document_locator is not yet called.

TODO

	 - reuse Ken's tests and add more
