Parser

A low level XML parser.

The methods a parser should implement are documented in newxml.interfaces.isLexer;

@safe

struct Parser (

L

Flag!"preserveWhitespace" preserveWhitespace = No.preserveWhitespace

) if (

isLexer!L

) {

import std.meta : staticIndexOf;;

alias CharacterType = L.CharacterType;

alias StringType = CharacterType[];

struct XMLToken;

bool processBadDocument;

bool testTextValidity;

XMLVersion xmlVersion;

StringType[StringType] chrEntities;

this(Args args);

alias InputType = L.InputType;

static if(needSource!L)

void setSource(InputType input);

static if(isSaveableLexer!L)

bool empty();

void popFront();

}

Constructors

this this(L lexer): Undocumented in source.
this this(Args args): Generic constructor; forwards its arguments to the lexer constructor

Members

Aliases

CharacterType alias CharacterType = L.CharacterType: Undocumented in source.
InputType alias InputType = L.InputType: Undocumented in source.
StringType alias StringType = CharacterType[]: Undocumented in source.

Functions

empty bool empty()
front auto front()
popFront void popFront(): See detailed documentation in newxml.interfaces.isParser
save auto save(): Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
setSource void setSource(InputType input): See detailed documentation in newxml.interfaces.isParser

Structs

XMLToken struct XMLToken: The structure returned in output from the low level parser. Represents an XML token, delimited by specific patterns, based on its kind. This delimiters are not present in the content field.

Variables

chrEntities StringType[StringType] chrEntities;: Contains character and text entities. Text entities might contain additional nodes and elements. By default, it is filled with XML entities.
lexer L lexer;: The lexer associated with the parser.
processBadDocument bool processBadDocument;: if set to true (default is false), the parser will try to parse any and all badly formed document as long as it can be processed.
testTextValidity bool testTextValidity;: if set to true (which is default), then the parser will test for invalid characters, and will throw an exception on errors. Turning it off can speed up parsing.
xmlVersion XMLVersion xmlVersion;: Undocumented in source.

Parameters

L: the underlying lexer type
preserveWhitespace: if set to Yes (default is No), the parser will not remove element content whitespace (i.e. the whitespace that separates tags), but will report it as text.
