=head1 NAME
XML::SAX - Simple API for XML
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use XML::SAX;
# get a list of known parsers
my $parsers = XML::SAX->parsers();
# add/update a parser
XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::PurePerl));
# remove parser
XML::SAX->remove_parser(q(XML::SAX::Foodelberry));
# save parsers
XML::SAX->save_parsers();
=head1 DESCRIPTION
XML::SAX is a SAX parser access API for Perl. It includes classes
and APIs required for implementing SAX drivers, along with a factory
class for returning any SAX parser installed on the user's system.
=head1 USING A SAX2 PARSER
The factory class is XML::SAX::ParserFactory. Please see the
documentation of that module for how to instantiate a SAX parser:
L<XML::SAX::ParserFactory>. However if you don't want to load up
another manual page, here's a short synopsis:
use XML::SAX::ParserFactory;
use XML::SAX::XYZHandler;
my $handler = XML::SAX::XYZHandler->new();
my $p = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->parser(Handler => $handler);
$p->parse_uri("foo.xml");
# or $p->parse_string("<foo/>") or $p->parse_file($fh);
This will automatically load a SAX2 parser (defaulting to
XML::SAX::PurePerl if no others are found) and return it to you.
In order to learn how to use SAX to parse XML, you will need to read
L<XML::SAX::Intro> and for reference, L<XML::SAX::Specification>.
=head1 WRITING A SAX2 PARSER
The first thing to remember in writing a SAX2 parser is to subclass
XML::SAX::Base. This will make your life infinitely easier, by providing
a number of methods automagically for you. See L<XML::SAX::Base> for more
details.
When writing a SAX2 parser that is compatible with XML::SAX, you need
to inform XML::SAX of the presence of that driver when you install it.
In order to do that, XML::SAX contains methods for saving the fact that
the parser exists on your system to a "INI" file, which is then loaded
to determine which parsers are installed.
The best way to do this is to follow these rules:
=over 4
=item * Add XML::SAX as a prerequisite in Makefile.PL:
WriteMakefile(
...
PREREQ_PM => { 'XML::SAX' => 0 },
...
);
Alternatively you may wish to check for it in other ways that will
cause more than just a warning.
=item * Add the following code snippet to your Makefile.PL:
sub MY::install {
package MY;
my $script = shift->SUPER::install(@_);
if (ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt(
"Do you want to modify ParserDetails.ini?", 'Y')
=~ /^y/i) {
$script =~ s/install :: (.*)$/install :: $1 install_sax_driver/m;
$script .= <<"INSTALL";
install_sax_driver :
\t\@\$(PERL) -MXML::SAX -e "XML::SAX->add_parser(q(\$(NAME)))->save_parsers()"
INSTALL
}
return $script;
}
Note that you should check the output of this - \$(NAME) will use the name of
your distribution, which may not be exactly what you want. For example XML::LibXML
has a driver called XML::LibXML::SAX::Generator, which is used in place of
\$(NAME) in the above.
=item * Add an XML::SAX test:
A test file should be added to your t/ directory containing something like the
following:
use Test;
BEGIN { plan tests => 3 }
use XML::SAX;
use XML::SAX::PurePerl::DebugHandler;
XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::MyDriver));
local $XML::SAX::ParserPackage = 'XML::SAX::MyDriver';
eval {
my $handler = XML::SAX::PurePerl::DebugHandler->new();
ok($handler);
my $parser = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->parser(Handler => $handler);
ok($parser);
ok($parser->isa('XML::SAX::MyDriver');
$parser->parse_string("<tag/>");
ok($handler->{seen}{start_element});
};
=back
=head1 EXPORTS
By default, XML::SAX exports nothing into the caller's namespace. However you
can request the symbols C<Namespaces> and C<Validation> which are the
URIs for those features, allowing an easier way to request those features
via ParserFactory:
use XML::SAX qw(Namespaces Validation);
my $factory = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->new();
$factory->require_feature(Namespaces);
$factory->require_feature(Validation);
my $parser = $factory->parser();
