XML::SAX::Machines - manage collections of SAX processors SYNOPSIS
use XML::SAX::Machines qw( :all ); my $m = Pipeline( "My::Filter1", ## My::Filter1 autoloaded in Pipeline() "My::Filter2", ## My::Filter2 " " " *STDOUT, ## XML::SAX::Writer also loaded ); $m->parse_uri( $uri ); ## A parser is autoloaded via ## XML::SAX::ParserFactory if ## My::Filter1 isn't a parser. ## To import only individual machines: use XML::SAX::Machines qw( Manifold ); ## Here's a multi-pass machine that reads one document, runs ## it through 5 filtering channels (one channel at a time) and ## reassembles it in to a single document. my $m = Manifold( "My::TableOfContentsExtractor", "My::AbstractExtractor", "My::BodyFitler", "My::EndNotesFilter", "My::IndexFilter", ); $m->parse_string( $doc ); DESCRIPTION
SAX machines are a way to gather and manage SAX processors without going nuts. Or at least without going completely nuts. Individual machines can also be like SAX processors; they don't need to parse or write anything: my $w = XML::SAX::Writer->new( Output => *STDOUT ); my $m = Pipeline( "My::Filter1", "My::Filter2", { Handler => $w } ); my $p = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->new( handler => $p ); More documentation to come; see XML::SAX::Pipeline, XML::SAX::Manifold, and XML::SAX::Machine for now. Here are the machines this module knows about: ByRecord Record oriented processing of documents. L<XML::SAX::ByRecord> Machine Generic "directed graph of SAX processors" machines. L<XML::SAX::Machine> Manifold Multipass document processing L<XML::SAX::Manifold> Pipeline A linear sequence of SAX processors L<XML::SAX::Pipeline> Tap An insertable pass through that examines the events without altering them using SAX processors. L<XML::SAX::Tap> Config file As mentioned in "LIMITATIONS", you might occasionally need to edit the config file to tell XML::SAX::Machine how to handle a particular SAX processor (SAX processors use a wide variety of API conventions). The config file is a the Perl module XML::SAX::Machines::SiteConfig, which contains a Perl data structure like: package XML::SAX::Machines::SiteConfig; $ProcessorClassOptions = { "XML::Filter::Tee" => { ConstructWithHashedOptions => 1, }, }; So far $Processors is the only available configuration structure. It contains a list of SAX processors with known special needs. Also, so far the only special need is the ConstructWithHashes option which tells XML::SAX::Machine to construct such classes like: XML::Filter::Tee->new( { Handler => $h } ); instead of XML::Filter::Tee->new( Handler => $h ); WARNING If you modify anything, apply your changes in a new file created from XML::SAX::Machines::SiteConfig.pm. On Debian systems, this should be placed in /etc/perl so that it is not overwritten during upgrade. Do not alter XML::SAX::Machines::ConfigDefaults.pm or you will lose your changes when you upgrade. TODO: Allow per-app and per-machine overrides of options. When needed. AUTHORS
