Kamp<p>Expat is a stream-oriented parser. You register callback (or 1925bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamphandler) functions with the parser and then start feeding it the 1935bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampdocument. As the parser recognizes parts of the document, it will 1945bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcall the appropriate handler for that part (if you've registered one.) 1955bb6a25fSPoul-Henning KampThe document is fed to the parser in pieces, so you can start parsing 1965bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampbefore you have all the document. This also allows you to parse really 1975bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamphuge documents that won't fit into memory.</p> 1985bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 1995bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Expat can be intimidating due to the many kinds of handlers and 2005bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampoptions you can set. But you only need to learn four functions in 2015bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamporder to do 90% of what you'll want to do with it:</p> 2025bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2035bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<dl> 2045bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2055bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<dt><code><a href= "#XML_ParserCreate" 2065bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp >XML_ParserCreate</a></code></dt> 2075bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp <dd>Create a new parser object.</dd> 2085bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2095bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<dt><code><a href= "#XML_SetElementHandler" 2105bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp >XML_SetElementHandler</a></code></dt> 2115bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp <dd>Set handlers for start and end tags.</dd> 2125bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2135bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<dt><code><a href= "#XML_SetCharacterDataHandler" 2145bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp >XML_SetCharacterDataHandler</a></code></dt> 2155bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp <dd>Set handler for text.</dd> 2165bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2175bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<dt><code><a href= "#XML_Parse" 2185bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp >XML_Parse</a></code></dt> 2195bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp <dd>Pass a buffer full of document to the parser</dd> 2205bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp</dl> 2215bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2225bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>These functions and others are described in the <a 2235bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamphref="#reference">reference</a> part of this document.

The start handler does all the 2325bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampwork. It prints two indenting spaces for every level of ancestor 2335bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampelements, then it prints the element and attribute 2345bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampinformation. Finally it increments the global <code>Depth</code> 2355bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampvariable.</p> 2365bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2375bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<pre class="eg"> 2385bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampint Depth; 2395bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 240220ed979SColeman Kanevoid XMLCALL 2415bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampstart(void *data, const char *el, const char **attr) { 2425bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp int i; 2435bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2445bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp for (i = 0; i < Depth; i++) 2455bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp printf(" "); 2465bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2475bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp printf("%s", el); 2485bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2495bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp for (i = 0; attr[i]; i += 2) { 2505bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp printf(" %s='%s'", attr[i], attr[i + 1]); 2515bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp } 2525bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2535bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp printf("\n"); 2545bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp Depth++; 2555bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp} /* End of start handler */ 2565bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp</pre> 2575bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 2585bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>The end tag simply does the bookkeeping work of decrementing 2595bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<code>Depth</code>.</p> 2605bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<pre class="eg"> 261220ed979SColeman Kanevoid XMLCALL 2625bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampend(void *data, const char *el) { 2635bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp Depth--; 2645bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp} /* End of end handler */ 2655bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp</pre> 2665bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 267220ed979SColeman Kane<p>Note the <code>XMLCALL</code> annotation used for the callbacks. 268220ed979SColeman KaneThis is used to ensure that the Expat and the callbacks are using the 269220ed979SColeman Kanesame calling convention in case the compiler options used for Expat 270220ed979SColeman Kaneitself and the client code are different.

There are <a 4685bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamphref="#creation">three functions</a> in the Expat API for creating a 4695bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampparser object. However, only two of these (<code><a href= 4705bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp"#XML_ParserCreate" >XML_ParserCreate</a></code> and <code><a href= 4715bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp"#XML_ParserCreateNS" >XML_ParserCreateNS</a></code>) can be used for 4725bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampconstructing a parser for a top-level document. The object returned 4735bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampby these functions is an opaque pointer (i.e. "expat.h" declares it as 4745bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampvoid *) to data with further internal structure. In order to free the 4755bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampmemory associated with this object you must call <code><a href= 4765bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp"#XML_ParserFree" >XML_ParserFree</a></code>. Note that if you have 477220ed979SColeman Kaneprovided any <a href="#userdata">user data</a> that gets stored in the 4785bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampparser, then your application is responsible for freeing it prior to 4795bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcalling <code>XML_ParserFree</code>.</p> 4805bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 4815bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>The objects returned by the parser creation functions are good for 4825bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampparsing only one XML document or external parsed entity. If your 4835bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampapplication needs to parse many XML documents, then it needs to create 4845bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampa parser object for each one. The best way to deal with this is to 4855bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcreate a higher level object that contains all the default 4865bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampinitialization you want for your parser objects.</p> 4875bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 4885bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>Walking through a document hierarchy with a stream oriented parser 4895bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampwill require a good stack mechanism in order to keep track of current 4905bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcontext. For instance, to answer the simple question, "What element 4915bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampdoes this text belong to?" requires a stack, since the parser may have 4925bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampdescended into other elements that are children of the current one and 4935bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamphas encountered this text on the way out.</p> 4945bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 4955bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>The things you're likely to want to keep on a stack are the 4965bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcurrently opened element and it's attributes. You push this 4975bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampinformation onto the stack in the start handler and you pop it off in 4985bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampthe end handler.</p> 4995bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp 5005bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kamp<p>For some tasks, it is sufficient to just keep information on what 5015bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampthe depth of the stack is (or would be if you had one.) The outline 5025bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampprogram shown above presents one example. Another such task would be 5035bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampskipping over a complete element. When you see the start tag for the 5045bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampelement you want to skip, you set a skip flag and record the depth at 5055bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampwhich the element started. When the end tag handler encounters the 5065bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampsame depth, the skipped element has ended and the flag may be 5075bb6a25fSPoul-Henning Kampcleared.
