285bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Expat is a library, written in C, for parsing XML documents. It's
295bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampthe underlying XML parser for the open source Mozilla project, Perl's
305bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<code>XML::Parser</code>, Python's <code>xml.parsers.expat</code>, and
315bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampother open-source XML parsers.</p>
325bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
335bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>This library is the creation of James Clark, who's also given us
340a48773fSEric van Gyzengroff (an nroff look-alike), Jade (an implementation of ISO's DSSSL
355bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampstylesheet language for SGML), XP (a Java XML parser package), XT (a
365bb6a25fSPoul-Henning KampJava XSL engine).  James was also the technical lead on the XML
375bb6a25fSPoul-Henning KampWorking Group at W3C that produced the XML specification.</p>

1535bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<h2><a name="overview">Overview</a></h2>
1545bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
1555bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Expat is a stream-oriented parser. You register callback (or
1565bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamphandler) functions with the parser and then start feeding it the
1575bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampdocument.  As the parser recognizes parts of the document, it will
1585bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcall the appropriate handler for that part (if you've registered one.)
1595bb6a25fSPoul-Henning KampThe document is fed to the parser in pieces, so you can start parsing
1605bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampbefore you have all the document. This also allows you to parse really
1615bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamphuge documents that won't fit into memory.</p>
1625bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
1635bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Expat can be intimidating due to the many kinds of handlers and
1645bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampoptions you can set. But you only need to learn four functions in
1655bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamporder to do 90% of what you'll want to do with it:</p>
1665bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp

1845bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp</dl>
1855bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
1865bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>These functions and others are described in the <a
1875bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamphref="#reference">reference</a> part of this document. The reference
1885bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampsection also describes in detail the parameters passed to the
1895bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampdifferent types of handlers.</p>
1905bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
1915bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Let's look at a very simple example program that only uses 3 of the
1925bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampabove functions (it doesn't need to set a character handler.) The
1935bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampprogram <a href="../examples/outline.c">outline.c</a> prints an
1945bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampelement outline, indenting child elements to distinguish them from the
1955bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampparent element that contains them. The start handler does all the
1965bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampwork.  It prints two indenting spaces for every level of ancestor
1975bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampelements, then it prints the element and attribute
1985bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampinformation. Finally it increments the global <code>Depth</code>
1995bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampvariable.</p>

231220ed979SColeman Kane<p>Note the <code>XMLCALL</code> annotation used for the callbacks.
232220ed979SColeman KaneThis is used to ensure that the Expat and the callbacks are using the

234220ed979SColeman Kaneitself and the client code are different.  Expat tries not to care
235220ed979SColeman Kanewhat the default calling convention is, though it may require that it
236220ed979SColeman Kanebe compiled with a default convention of "cdecl" on some platforms.
237220ed979SColeman KaneFor code which uses Expat, however, the calling convention is
238220ed979SColeman Kanespecified by the <code>XMLCALL</code> annotation on most platforms;

241220ed979SColeman Kane<p>The <code>XMLCALL</code> annotation was added in Expat 1.95.7, but

244220ed979SColeman Kaneworking).  The annotation is only needed if the default calling
245220ed979SColeman Kaneconvention may be something other than "cdecl".  To use the annotation

2925bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
2935bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>If you're happy with all the defaults that configure picks for you,
2945bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampand you have permission on your system to install into /usr/local, you
2955bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcan install Expat with this sequence of commands:</p>

3875bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
3885bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Unless you installed Expat in a location not expected by your
3895bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcompiler and linker, all you have to do to use Expat in your programs
3905bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampis to include the Expat header (<code>#include &lt;expat.h&gt;</code>)
3915bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampin your files that make calls to it and to tell the linker that it
3925bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampneeds to link against the Expat library.  On Unix systems, this would
3935bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampusually be done with the <code>-lexpat</code> argument.  Otherwise,
3945bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampyou'll need to tell the compiler where to look for the Expat header
3955bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampand the linker where to find the Expat library.  You may also need to
396220ed979SColeman Kanetake steps to tell the operating system where to find this library at
3975bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamprun time.</p>
3985bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
3995bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>On a Unix-based system, here's what a Makefile might look like when
4005bb6a25fSPoul-Henning KampExpat is installed in a standard location:</p>
4015bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
4025bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<pre class="eg">

4095bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
4105bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>If you installed Expat in, say, <code>/home/me/mystuff</code>, then
4115bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampthe Makefile would look like this:</p>

4215bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
4225bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>You'd also have to set the environment variable
4235bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> to <code>/home/me/mystuff/lib</code> (or
4245bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampto <code>${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/home/me/mystuff/lib</code> if

4275bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
4285bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<h3>Expat Basics</h3>
4295bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
4305bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>As we saw in the example in the overview, the first step in parsing
4315bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampan XML document with Expat is to create a parser object. There are <a
4325bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamphref="#creation">three functions</a> in the Expat API for creating a
4335bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampparser object.  However, only two of these (<code><a href=
4345bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp"#XML_ParserCreate" >XML_ParserCreate</a></code> and <code><a href=
4355bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp"#XML_ParserCreateNS" >XML_ParserCreateNS</a></code>) can be used for
4365bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampconstructing a parser for a top-level document.  The object returned
4375bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampby these functions is an opaque pointer (i.e. "expat.h" declares it as
4385bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampvoid *) to data with further internal structure. In order to free the
4395bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampmemory associated with this object you must call <code><a href=
4405bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp"#XML_ParserFree" >XML_ParserFree</a></code>. Note that if you have
441220ed979SColeman Kaneprovided any <a href="#userdata">user data</a> that gets stored in the
4425bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampparser, then your application is responsible for freeing it prior to
4435bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcalling <code>XML_ParserFree</code>.</p>
4445bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
4455bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>The objects returned by the parser creation functions are good for
4465bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampparsing only one XML document or external parsed entity. If your
4475bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampapplication needs to parse many XML documents, then it needs to create
4485bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampa parser object for each one. The best way to deal with this is to
4495bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcreate a higher level object that contains all the default
4505bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampinitialization you want for your parser objects.</p>
4515bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
4525bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Walking through a document hierarchy with a stream oriented parser
4535bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampwill require a good stack mechanism in order to keep track of current
4545bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcontext.  For instance, to answer the simple question, "What element
4555bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampdoes this text belong to?" requires a stack, since the parser may have
4565bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampdescended into other elements that are children of the current one and
4575bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamphas encountered this text on the way out.</p>
4585bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
4595bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>The things you're likely to want to keep on a stack are the
4605bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcurrently opened element and it's attributes. You push this
4615bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampinformation onto the stack in the start handler and you pop it off in
4625bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampthe end handler.</p>
4635bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
4645bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>For some tasks, it is sufficient to just keep information on what
4655bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampthe depth of the stack is (or would be if you had one.) The outline
4665bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampprogram shown above presents one example. Another such task would be
4675bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampskipping over a complete element. When you see the start tag for the
4685bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampelement you want to skip, you set a skip flag and record the depth at
4695bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampwhich the element started.  When the end tag handler encounters the
4705bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampsame depth, the skipped element has ended and the flag may be
4715bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcleared. If you follow the convention that the root element starts at
4725bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp1, then you can use the same variable for skip flag and skip
4735bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampdepth.</p>

5125bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Notice in the above example the difference in how depth is
5135bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampmanipulated in the start and end handlers. The end tag handler should
5145bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampbe the mirror image of the start tag handler. This is necessary to
5155bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampproperly model containment. Since, in the start tag handler, we
5165bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampincremented depth <em>after</em> the main body of start tag code, then
5175bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampin the end handler, we need to manipulate it <em>before</em> the main
5185bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampbody.  If we'd decided to increment it first thing in the start
5195bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamphandler, then we'd have had to decrement it last thing in the end

5245bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>In order to be able to pass information between different handlers
5255bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampwithout using globals, you'll need to define a data structure to hold
5265bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampthe shared variables. You can then tell Expat (with the <code><a href=
5275bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp"#XML_SetUserData" >XML_SetUserData</a></code> function) to pass a
528220ed979SColeman Kanepointer to this structure to the handlers.  This is the first
529220ed979SColeman Kaneargument received by most handlers.  In the <a href="#reference"
530220ed979SColeman Kane>reference section</a>, an argument to a callback function is named
531220ed979SColeman Kane<code>userData</code> and have type <code>void *</code> if the user
532220ed979SColeman Kanedata is passed; it will have the type <code>XML_Parser</code> if the
533220ed979SColeman Kaneparser itself is passed.  When the parser is passed, the user data may
534220ed979SColeman Kanebe retrieved using <code><a href="#XML_GetUserData"
535220ed979SColeman Kane>XML_GetUserData</a></code>.</p>
536220ed979SColeman Kane
537220ed979SColeman Kane<p>One common case where multiple calls to a single handler may need
538220ed979SColeman Kaneto communicate using an application data structure is the case when
539220ed979SColeman Kanecontent passed to the character data handler (set by <code><a href=
540220ed979SColeman Kane"#XML_SetCharacterDataHandler"
541220ed979SColeman Kane>XML_SetCharacterDataHandler</a></code>) needs to be accumulated.  A
542220ed979SColeman Kanecommon first-time mistake with any of the event-oriented interfaces to
543220ed979SColeman Kanean XML parser is to expect all the text contained in an element to be
544220ed979SColeman Kanereported by a single call to the character data handler.  Expat, like
545220ed979SColeman Kanemany other XML parsers, reports such data as a sequence of calls;
546220ed979SColeman Kanethere's no way to know when the end of the sequence is reached until a
547220ed979SColeman Kanedifferent callback is made.  A buffer referenced by the user data
548220ed979SColeman Kanestructure proves both an effective and convenient place to accumulate
549220ed979SColeman Kanecharacter data.</p>

5545bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<h3>XML Version</h3>
5555bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
5565bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Expat is an XML 1.0 parser, and as such never complains based on
5575bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampthe value of the <code>version</code> pseudo-attribute in the XML
5585bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampdeclaration, if present.</p>
5595bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
5605bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>If an application needs to check the version number (to support
5615bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampalternate processing), it should use the <code><a href=
5625bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp"#XML_SetXmlDeclHandler" >XML_SetXmlDeclHandler</a></code> function to
5635bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampset a handler that uses the information in the XML declaration to
5645bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampdetermine what to do.  This example shows how to check that only a
5655bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampversion number of <code>"1.0"</code> is accepted:</p>

5945bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<h3>Namespace Processing</h3>
5955bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
5965bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>When the parser is created using the <code><a href=
5975bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp"#XML_ParserCreateNS" >XML_ParserCreateNS</a></code>, function, Expat
5985bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampperforms namespace processing. Under namespace processing, Expat
5995bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampconsumes <code>xmlns</code> and <code>xmlns:...</code> attributes,
6005bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampwhich declare namespaces for the scope of the element in which they
6015bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampoccur. This means that your start handler will not see these
6025bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampattributes.  Your application can still be informed of these
6035bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampdeclarations by setting namespace declaration handlers with <a href=
6045bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp"#XML_SetNamespaceDeclHandler"
6055bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp><code>XML_SetNamespaceDeclHandler</code></a>.</p>
6065bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
6075bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Element type and attribute names that belong to a given namespace
6085bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampare passed to the appropriate handler in expanded form. By default
6095bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampthis expanded form is a concatenation of the namespace URI, the
6105bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampseparator character (which is the 2nd argument to <code><a href=
6115bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp"#XML_ParserCreateNS" >XML_ParserCreateNS</a></code>), and the local
6125bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampname (i.e. the part after the colon). Names with undeclared prefixes
613220ed979SColeman Kaneare not well-formed when namespace processing is enabled, and will
614220ed979SColeman Kanetrigger an error. Unprefixed attribute names are never expanded,
6155bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampand unprefixed element names are only expanded when they are in the
6165bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampscope of a default namespace.</p>
6175bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
618220ed979SColeman Kane<p>However if <code><a href= "#XML_SetReturnNSTriplet"
6195bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp>XML_SetReturnNSTriplet</a></code> has been called with a non-zero
6205bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<code>do_nst</code> parameter, then the expanded form for names with
6215bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampan explicit prefix is a concatenation of: URI, separator, local name,
6225bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampseparator, prefix.</p>
6235bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
6245bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>You can set handlers for the start of a namespace declaration and
6255bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampfor the end of a scope of a declaration with the <code><a href=
6265bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp"#XML_SetNamespaceDeclHandler" >XML_SetNamespaceDeclHandler</a></code>
6275bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampfunction.  The StartNamespaceDeclHandler is called prior to the start
628220ed979SColeman Kanetag handler and the EndNamespaceDeclHandler is called after the
6295bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcorresponding end tag that ends the namespace's scope.  The namespace
6305bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampstart handler gets passed the prefix and URI for the namespace.  For a
6315bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampdefault namespace declaration (xmlns='...'), the prefix will be null.
6325bb6a25fSPoul-Henning KampThe URI will be null for the case where the default namespace is being
6335bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampunset.  The namespace end handler just gets the prefix for the closing
6345bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampscope.</p>
6355bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
6365bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>These handlers are called for each declaration. So if, for
6375bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampinstance, a start tag had three namespace declarations, then the
6385bb6a25fSPoul-Henning KampStartNamespaceDeclHandler would be called three times before the start
6395bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamptag handler is called, once for each declaration.</p>
6405bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
6415bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<h3>Character Encodings</h3>
6425bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
6435bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>While XML is based on Unicode, and every XML processor is required
6445bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampto recognized UTF-8 and UTF-16 (1 and 2 byte encodings of Unicode),
6455bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampother encodings may be declared in XML documents or entities. For the
6465bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampmain document, an XML declaration may contain an encoding
6475bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampdeclaration:</p>
6485bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<pre>
6495bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?&gt;
6505bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp</pre>
6515bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
6525bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>External parsed entities may begin with a text declaration, which
6535bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamplooks like an XML declaration with just an encoding declaration:</p>
6545bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<pre>
6555bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp&lt;?xml encoding="Big5"?&gt;
6565bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp</pre>
6575bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
6585bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>With Expat, you may also specify an encoding at the time of
6595bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcreating a parser. This is useful when the encoding information may
6605bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcome from a source outside the document itself (like a higher level
6615bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampprotocol.)</p>
6625bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
6635bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p><a name="builtin_encodings"></a>There are four built-in encodings
6645bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampin Expat:</p>
6655bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<ul>
6665bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<li>UTF-8</li>
6675bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<li>UTF-16</li>
6685bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<li>ISO-8859-1</li>
6695bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<li>US-ASCII</li>
6705bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp</ul>
6715bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
6725bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Anything else discovered in an encoding declaration or in the
6735bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampprotocol encoding specified in the parser constructor, triggers a call
6745bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampto the <code>UnknownEncodingHandler</code>. This handler gets passed
6755bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampthe encoding name and a pointer to an <code>XML_Encoding</code> data
676220ed979SColeman Kanestructure. Your handler must fill in this structure and return
677220ed979SColeman Kane<code>XML_STATUS_OK</code> if it knows how to deal with the
678220ed979SColeman Kaneencoding. Otherwise the handler should return
679220ed979SColeman Kane<code>XML_STATUS_ERROR</code>.  The handler also gets passed a pointer
680220ed979SColeman Kaneto an optional application data structure that you may indicate when
681220ed979SColeman Kaneyou set the handler.</p>
6825bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
6835bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Expat places restrictions on character encodings that it can
6845bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampsupport by filling in the <code>XML_Encoding</code> structure.
6855bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampinclude file:</p>
6865bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<ol>
6875bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<li>Every ASCII character that can appear in a well-formed XML document
6885bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampmust be represented by a single byte, and that byte must correspond to
6895bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampit's ASCII encoding (except for the characters $@\^'{}~)</li>
6905bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<li>Characters must be encoded in 4 bytes or less.</li>
6915bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<li>All characters encoded must have Unicode scalar values less than or
6925bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampequal to 65535 (0xFFFF)<em>This does not apply to the built-in support
6935bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampfor UTF-16 and UTF-8</em></li>
6945bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<li>No character may be encoded by more that one distinct sequence of
6955bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampbytes</li>
6965bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp</ol>
6975bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
6985bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p><code>XML_Encoding</code> contains an array of integers that
6995bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcorrespond to the 1st byte of an encoding sequence. If the value in
7005bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampthe array for a byte is zero or positive, then the byte is a single
7015bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampbyte encoding that encodes the Unicode scalar value contained in the
7025bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamparray. A -1 in this array indicates a malformed byte. If the value is
7035bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp-2, -3, or -4, then the byte is the beginning of a 2, 3, or 4 byte
7045bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampsequence respectively. Multi-byte sequences are sent to the convert
7055bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampfunction pointed at in the <code>XML_Encoding</code> structure. This
7065bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampfunction should return the Unicode scalar value for the sequence or -1
7075bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampif the sequence is malformed.</p>
7085bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
7095bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>One pitfall that novice Expat users are likely to fall into is that
7105bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampalthough Expat may accept input in various encodings, the strings that
7115bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampit passes to the handlers are always encoded in UTF-8 or UTF-16
7125bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp(depending on how Expat was compiled). Your application is responsible
7135bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampfor any translation of these strings into other encodings.</p>
7145bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
7155bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<h3>Handling External Entity References</h3>
7165bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
7175bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Expat does not read or parse external entities directly. Note that
7185bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampany external DTD is a special case of an external entity.  If you've
7195bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampset no <code>ExternalEntityRefHandler</code>, then external entity
7205bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampreferences are silently ignored. Otherwise, it calls your handler with
7215bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampthe information needed to read and parse the external entity.</p>
7225bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
7235bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Your handler isn't actually responsible for parsing the entity, but
7245bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampit is responsible for creating a subsidiary parser with <code><a href=
7255bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp"#XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate"
7265bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp>XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate</a></code> that will do the job. This
7275bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampreturns an instance of <code>XML_Parser</code> that has handlers and
7285bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampother data structures initialized from the parent parser. You may then
7295bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampuse <code><a href= "#XML_Parse" >XML_Parse</a></code> or <code><a
7305bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamphref= "#XML_ParseBuffer">XML_ParseBuffer</a></code> calls against this
7315bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampparser.  Since external entities my refer to other external entities,
7325bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampyour handler should be prepared to be called recursively.</p>
7335bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
7345bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<h3>Parsing DTDs</h3>
7355bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
7365bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>In order to parse parameter entities, before starting the parse,
7375bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampyou must call <code><a href= "#XML_SetParamEntityParsing"
7385bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp>XML_SetParamEntityParsing</a></code> with one of the following
7395bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamparguments:</p>
7405bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<dl>
7415bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<dt><code>XML_PARAM_ENTITY_PARSING_NEVER</code></dt>
7425bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<dd>Don't parse parameter entities or the external subset</dd>

7495bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
7505bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>In order to read an external DTD, you also have to set an external

753220ed979SColeman Kane<h3 id="stop-resume">Temporarily Stopping Parsing</h3>
754220ed979SColeman Kane
755220ed979SColeman Kane<p>Expat 1.95.8 introduces a new feature: its now possible to stop
756220ed979SColeman Kaneparsing temporarily from within a handler function, even if more data
757220ed979SColeman Kanehas already been passed into the parser.  Applications for this
758220ed979SColeman Kaneinclude</p>
759220ed979SColeman Kane
760220ed979SColeman Kane<ul>

770220ed979SColeman Kane  <li>Stopping parsing completely (simply free or reset the parser
771220ed979SColeman Kane  instead of resuming in the outer parsing loop).  This can be useful
7720a48773fSEric van Gyzen  if an application-domain error is found in the XML being parsed or if
773220ed979SColeman Kane  the result of the parse is determined not to be useful after
774220ed979SColeman Kane  all.</li>
775220ed979SColeman Kane</ul>
776220ed979SColeman Kane
777220ed979SColeman Kane<p>To take advantage of this feature, the main parsing loop of an
778220ed979SColeman Kaneapplication needs to support this specifically.  It cannot be
779220ed979SColeman Kanesupported with a parsing loop compatible with Expat 1.95.7 or
780220ed979SColeman Kaneearlier (though existing loops will continue to work without
781220ed979SColeman Kanesupporting the stop/resume feature).</p>
782220ed979SColeman Kane

12255bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampapplication may choose to set or change the handler for a parsing event
12265bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampwhile the parse is in progress. For instance, your application may choose
12275bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampto ignore all text not descended from a <code>para</code> element. One
12285bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampway it could do this is to set the character handler when a para start tag

12305bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
12315bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>A handler may be <em>unset</em> by providing a NULL pointer to the

14465bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcalled for processing an external DTD subset if parameter entity parsing

14485bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<code>XML_SetParamEntityParsing</code></a>.)</p>
14495bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
1450220ed979SColeman Kane<p>The <code>context</code> parameter specifies the parsing context in
1451220ed979SColeman Kanethe format expected by the <code>context</code> argument to <code><a
1452220ed979SColeman Kanehref="#XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate"
1453220ed979SColeman Kane>XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate</a></code>.  <code>code</code> is
1454220ed979SColeman Kanevalid only until the handler returns, so if the referenced entity is
1455220ed979SColeman Kaneto be parsed later, it must be copied.  <code>context</code> is NULL
1456220ed979SColeman Kaneonly when the entity is a parameter entity, which is how one can
1457220ed979SColeman Kanedifferentiate between general and parameter entities.</p>
14585bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
1459220ed979SColeman Kane<p>The <code>base</code> parameter is the base to use for relative
1460220ed979SColeman Kanesystem identifiers.  It is set by <code><a
1461220ed979SColeman Kanehref="#XML_SetBase">XML_SetBase</a></code> and may be NULL. The
1462220ed979SColeman Kane<code>publicId</code> parameter is the public id given in the entity
1463220ed979SColeman Kanedeclaration and may be NULL.  <code>systemId</code> is the system
1464220ed979SColeman Kaneidentifier specified in the entity declaration and is never NULL.</p>
14655bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
1466220ed979SColeman Kane<p>There are a couple of ways in which this handler differs from
1467220ed979SColeman Kaneothers.  First, this handler returns a status indicator (an
1468220ed979SColeman Kaneinteger). <code>XML_STATUS_OK</code> should be returned for successful
1469220ed979SColeman Kanehandling of the external entity reference.  Returning
1470220ed979SColeman Kane<code>XML_STATUS_ERROR</code> indicates failure, and causes the
1471220ed979SColeman Kanecalling parser to return an
1472220ed979SColeman Kane<code>XML_ERROR_EXTERNAL_ENTITY_HANDLING</code> error.</p>
14735bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
1474220ed979SColeman Kane<p>Second, instead of having the user data as its first argument, it
1475220ed979SColeman Kanereceives the parser that encountered the entity reference. This, along
1476220ed979SColeman Kanewith the context parameter, may be used as arguments to a call to
1477220ed979SColeman Kane<code><a href= "#XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate"
1478220ed979SColeman Kane>XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate</a></code>.  Using the returned
1479220ed979SColeman Kaneparser, the body of the external entity can be recursively parsed.</p>
14805bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp
14815bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Since this handler may be called recursively, it should not be saving
14825bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampinformation into global or static variables.</p>
