Kamp<h2><a name="overview">Overview</a></h2> 1945bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 1955bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Expat is a stream-oriented parser. You register callback (or 1965bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamphandler) functions with the parser and then start feeding it the 1975bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampdocument. As the parser recognizes parts of the document, it will 1985bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcall the appropriate handler for that part (if you've registered one.) 1995bb6a25fSPoul-Henning KampThe document is fed to the parser in pieces, so you can start parsing 2005bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampbefore you have all the document. This also allows you to parse really 2015bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamphuge documents that won't fit into memory.</p> 2025bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2035bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Expat can be intimidating due to the many kinds of handlers and 2045bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampoptions you can set. But you only need to learn four functions in 2055bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamporder to do 90% of what you'll want to do with it:</p> 2065bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2075bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<dl> 2085bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2095bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<dt><code><a href= "#XML_ParserCreate" 2105bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp >XML_ParserCreate</a></code></dt> 2115bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp <dd>Create a new parser object.</dd> 2125bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2135bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<dt><code><a href= "#XML_SetElementHandler" 2145bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp >XML_SetElementHandler</a></code></dt> 2155bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp <dd>Set handlers for start and end tags.</dd> 2165bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2175bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<dt><code><a href= "#XML_SetCharacterDataHandler" 2185bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp >XML_SetCharacterDataHandler</a></code></dt> 2195bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp <dd>Set handler for text.</dd> 2205bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2215bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<dt><code><a href= "#XML_Parse" 2225bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp >XML_Parse</a></code></dt> 2235bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp <dd>Pass a buffer full of document to the parser</dd> 2245bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp</dl> 2255bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2265bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>These functions and others are described in the <a 2275bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamphref="#reference">reference</a> part of this document.

The 2335bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampprogram <a href="../examples/outline.c">outline.c</a> prints an 2345bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampelement outline, indenting child elements to distinguish them from the 2355bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampparent element that contains them. The start handler does all the 2365bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampwork.

There are <a 5035bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamphref="#creation">three functions</a> in the Expat API for creating a 5045bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampparser object. However, only two of these (<code><a href= 5055bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp"#XML_ParserCreate" >XML_ParserCreate</a></code> and <code><a href= 5065bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp"#XML_ParserCreateNS" >XML_ParserCreateNS</a></code>) can be used for 5075bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampconstructing a parser for a top-level document. The object returned 5085bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampby these functions is an opaque pointer (i.e. "expat.h" declares it as 5095bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampvoid *) to data with further internal structure. In order to free the 5105bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampmemory associated with this object you must call <code><a href= 5115bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp"#XML_ParserFree" >XML_ParserFree</a></code>. Note that if you have 512220ed979SColeman Kaneprovided any <a href="#userdata">user data</a> that gets stored in the 5135bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampparser, then your application is responsible for freeing it prior to 5145bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcalling <code>XML_ParserFree</code>.</p> 5155bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 5165bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>The objects returned by the parser creation functions are good for 5175bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampparsing only one XML document or external parsed entity. If your 5185bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampapplication needs to parse many XML documents, then it needs to create 5195bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampa parser object for each one. The best way to deal with this is to 5205bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcreate a higher level object that contains all the default 5215bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampinitialization you want for your parser objects.</p> 5225bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 5235bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Walking through a document hierarchy with a stream oriented parser 5245bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampwill require a good stack mechanism in order to keep track of current 5255bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcontext. For instance, to answer the simple question, "What element 5265bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampdoes this text belong to?" requires a stack, since the parser may have 5275bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampdescended into other elements that are children of the current one and 5285bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamphas encountered this text on the way out.</p> 5295bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 5305bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>The things you're likely to want to keep on a stack are the 5315bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcurrently opened element and it's attributes. You push this 5325bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampinformation onto the stack in the start handler and you pop it off in 5335bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampthe end handler.</p> 5345bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 5355bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>For some tasks, it is sufficient to just keep information on what 5365bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampthe depth of the stack is (or would be if you had one.) The outline 5375bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampprogram shown above presents one example. Another such task would be 5385bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampskipping over a complete element. When you see the start tag for the 5395bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampelement you want to skip, you set a skip flag and record the depth at 5405bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampwhich the element started. When the end tag handler encounters the 5415bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampsame depth, the skipped element has ended and the flag may be 5425bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcleared. If you follow the convention that the root element starts at 5435bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp1, then you can use the same variable for skip flag and skip 5445bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampdepth.</p> 5455bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 5465bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<pre class="eg"> 5475bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampvoid 5485bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampinit_info(Parseinfo *info) { 5495bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp info->skip = 0; 5505bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp info->depth = 1; 5515bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp /* Other initializations here */ 5525bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp} /* End of init_info */ 5535bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 554220ed979SColeman Kanevoid XMLCALL 5555bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamprawstart(void *data, const char *el, const char **attr) { 5565bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp Parseinfo *inf = (Parseinfo *) data; 5575bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 5585bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp if (! inf->skip) { 5595bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp if (should_skip(inf, el, attr)) { 5605bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp inf->skip = inf->depth; 5615bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp } 5625bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp else 5635bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp start(inf, el, attr); /* This does rest of start handling */ 5645bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp } 5655bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 5665bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp inf->depth++; 5675bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp} /* End of rawstart */ 5685bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 569220ed979SColeman Kanevoid XMLCALL 5705bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamprawend(void *data, const char *el) { 5715bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp Parseinfo *inf = (Parseinfo *) data; 5725bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 5735bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp inf->depth--; 5745bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 5755bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp if (! inf->skip) 5765bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp end(inf, el); /* This does rest of end handling */ 5775bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 5785bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp if (inf->skip == inf->depth) 5795bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp inf->skip = 0; 5805bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp} /* End rawend */ 5815bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp</pre> 5825bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 5835bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Notice in the above example the difference in how depth is 5845bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampmanipulated in the start and end handlers.
