SAX(3)                               User Contributed Perl Documentation                              SAX(3)



NAME
       XML::SAX - Simple API for XML

SYNOPSIS
         use XML::SAX;

         # get a list of known parsers
         my $parsers = XML::SAX->parsers();

         # add/update a parser
         XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::PurePerl));

         # remove parser
         XML::SAX->remove_parser(q(XML::SAX::Foodelberry));

         # save parsers
         XML::SAX->save_parsers();

DESCRIPTION
       XML::SAX is a SAX parser access API for Perl. It includes classes and APIs required for implementing
       SAX drivers, along with a factory class for returning any SAX parser installed on the user's system.

USING A SAX2 PARSER
       The factory class is XML::SAX::ParserFactory. Please see the documentation of that module for how to
       instantiate a SAX parser: XML::SAX::ParserFactory. However if you don't want to load up another
       manual page, here's a short synopsis:

         use XML::SAX::ParserFactory;
         use XML::SAX::XYZHandler;
         my $handler = XML::SAX::XYZHandler->new();
         my $p = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->parser(Handler => $handler);
         $p->parse_uri("foo.xml");
         # or $p->parse_string("<foo/>") or $p->parse_file($fh);

       This will automatically load a SAX2 parser (defaulting to XML::SAX::PurePerl if no others are found)
       and return it to you.

       In order to learn how to use SAX to parse XML, you will need to read XML::SAX::Intro and for
       reference, XML::SAX::Specification.

WRITING A SAX2 PARSER
       The first thing to remember in writing a SAX2 parser is to subclass XML::SAX::Base. This will make
       your life infinitely easier, by providing a number of methods automagically for you. See
       XML::SAX::Base for more details.

       When writing a SAX2 parser that is compatible with XML::SAX, you need to inform XML::SAX of the
       presence of that driver when you install it.  In order to do that, XML::SAX contains methods for
       saving the fact that the parser exists on your system to a "INI" file, which is then loaded to
       determine which parsers are installed.

       The best way to do this is to follow these rules:

       •   Add XML::SAX as a prerequisite in Makefile.PL:

             WriteMakefile(
                 ...
                 PREREQ_PM => { 'XML::SAX' => 0 },
                 ...
             );

           Alternatively you may wish to check for it in other ways that will cause more than just a
           warning.

       •   Add the following code snippet to your Makefile.PL:

             sub MY::install {
               package MY;
               my $script = shift->SUPER::install(@_);
               if (ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt(
                 "Do you want to modify ParserDetails.ini?", 'Y')
                 =~ /^y/i) {
                 $script =~ s/install :: (.*)$/install :: $1 install_sax_driver/m;
                 $script .= <<"INSTALL";

             install_sax_driver :
             \t\@\$(PERL) -MXML::SAX -e "XML::SAX->add_parser(q(\$(NAME)))->save_parsers()"

             INSTALL
               }
               return $script;
             }

           Note that you should check the output of this - \$(NAME) will use the name of your distribution,
           which may not be exactly what you want. For example XML::LibXML has a driver called
           XML::LibXML::SAX::Generator, which is used in place of \$(NAME) in the above.

       •   Add an XML::SAX test:

           A test file should be added to your t/ directory containing something like the following:

             use Test;
             BEGIN { plan tests => 3 }
             use XML::SAX;
             use XML::SAX::PurePerl::DebugHandler;
             XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::MyDriver));
             local $XML::SAX::ParserPackage = 'XML::SAX::MyDriver';
             eval {
               my $handler = XML::SAX::PurePerl::DebugHandler->new();
               ok($handler);
               my $parser = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->parser(Handler => $handler);
               ok($parser);
               ok($parser->isa('XML::SAX::MyDriver');
               $parser->parse_string("<tag/>");
               ok($handler->{seen}{start_element});
             };

EXPORTS
       By default, XML::SAX exports nothing into the caller's namespace. However you can request the symbols
       "Namespaces" and "Validation" which are the URIs for those features, allowing an easier way to
       request those features via ParserFactory:

         use XML::SAX qw(Namespaces Validation);
         my $factory = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->new();
         $factory->require_feature(Namespaces);
         $factory->require_feature(Validation);
         my $parser = $factory->parser();
