XML::Parser::Lite − Lightweight regexp−based XML parser
use XML::Parser::Lite; $p1 = new XML::Parser::Lite; $p1−>setHandlers( Start => sub { shift; print "start: @_\n" }, Char => sub { shift; print "char: @_\n" }, End => sub { shift; print "end: @_\n" }, ); $p1−>parse('<foo id="me">Hello World!</foo>'); $p2 = new XML::Parser::Lite Handlers => { Start => sub { shift; print "start: @_\n" }, Char => sub { shift; print "char: @_\n" }, End => sub { shift; print "end: @_\n" }, } ; $p2−>parse('<foo id="me">Hello <bar>cruel</bar> World!</foo>');
This Perl implements an XML parser with a interface similar to XML::Parser. Though not all callbacks are supported, you should be able to use it in the same way you use XML::Parser. Due to using experimantal regexp features it’ll work only on Perl 5.6 and above and may behave differently on different platforms.
Note that you cannot use regular expressions or split in callbacks. This is due to a limitation of perl’s regular expression implementation (which is not re-entrant).
new
Constructor.
As (almost) all SOAP::Lite constructors, new() returns the object called on when called as object method. This means that the following effectifely is a no-op if $obj is a object:
$obj = $obj−>new();
New accepts a single named parameter, "Handlers" with a hash ref as value:
my $parser = XML::Parser::Lite−>new( Handlers => { Start => sub { shift; print "start: @_\n" }, Char => sub { shift; print "char: @_\n" }, End => sub { shift; print "end: @_\n" }, } );
The handlers given will be passed to setHandlers.
setHandlers
Sets (or resets) the parsing handlers. Accepts a hash with
the handler names and handler code references as parameters.
Passing "undef" instead of a code
reference replaces the handler by a no-op.
The following handlers can be set:
Init Start Char End Final
All other handlers are ignored.
Calling setHandlers without parameters resets all handlers to no-ops.
parse
Parses the XML given. In contrast to
XML::Parser’s parse method, parse() only parses
strings.
Init
Called before parsing starts. You should perform any
necessary initializations in Init.
Start
Called at the start of each XML node. See
XML::Parser for details.
Char
Called for each character sequence. May be called multiple
times for the characters contained in an XML
node (even for every single character). Your implementation
has to make sure that it captures all characters.
End
Called at the end of each XML node. See
XML::Parser for details
Comment
See XML::Parser for details
XMLDecl
See XML::Parser for details
Doctype
See XML::Parser for details
Final
Called at the end of the parsing process. You should perform
any necessary cleanup here.
