Detailed Description

This abstract class provides the interface for the scanner to return XML document information up to the parser as it scans through the document.

The interface is very similar to org.sax.DocumentHandler, but has some extra methods required to get all the data out.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void XMLDocumentHandler::docCharacters	(	const XMLCh *const	chars,
		const XMLSize_t	length,
		const bool	cdataSection
	)

pure virtual

Receive notification of character data.

The scanner will call this method to report each chunk of character data. The scanner may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event will come from the same external entity, so that the Locator provides useful information.

The parser must not attempt to read from the array outside of the specified range.

Parameters

chars	The content (characters) between markup from the XML document.
length	The number of characters to read from the array.
cdataSection	Indicates that this data is inside a CDATA section.

See also: ignorableWhitespace; Locator

Implemented in SAXParser, and AbstractDOMParser.

virtual void XMLDocumentHandler::docComment ( const XMLCh *const comment )

pure virtual

Receive notification of comments in the XML content being parsed.

This scanner will call this method for any comments found in the content of the document.

Parameters

comment The text of the comment.

Implemented in SAXParser, and AbstractDOMParser.

virtual void XMLDocumentHandler::docPI	(	const XMLCh *const	target,
		const XMLCh *const	data
	)

pure virtual

Receive notification of PI's parsed in the XML content.

The scanner will call this method for any PIs it finds within the content of the document.

Parameters

target	The name of the PI.
data	The body of the PI. This may be an empty string since the body is optional.

Implemented in SAXParser, and AbstractDOMParser.

virtual void XMLDocumentHandler::endDocument ( )

pure virtual

Receive notification after the scanner has parsed the end of the document.

The scanner will call this method when the current document has been fully parsed. The handler may use this opportunity to do something with the data, clean up temporary data, etc...

Implemented in SAXParser, and AbstractDOMParser.

virtual void XMLDocumentHandler::endElement	(	const XMLElementDecl &	elemDecl,
		const unsigned int	uriId,
		const bool	isRoot,
		const XMLCh *const	prefixName = `0`
	)

pure virtual

Receive notification of the end of an element.

This method is called when scanner encounters the end of element tag. There will be a corresponding startElement() event for every endElement() event, but not necessarily the other way around. For empty tags, there is only a startElement() call.

Parameters

elemDecl	The name of the element whose end tag was just parsed.
uriId	The ID of the URI in the URI pool (only valid if name spaces is enabled)
isRoot	Indicates if this is the root element.
prefixName	The string representing the prefix name

Implemented in SAXParser, and AbstractDOMParser.

virtual void XMLDocumentHandler::endEntityReference ( const XMLEntityDecl & entDecl )

pure virtual

Receive notification when a referenced entity's content ends.

This method is called when scanner encounters the end of an entity reference.

Parameters

entDecl The name of the entity reference just scanned.

Implemented in SAXParser, and AbstractDOMParser.

virtual void XMLDocumentHandler::ignorableWhitespace	(	const XMLCh *const	chars,
		const XMLSize_t	length,
		const bool	cdataSection
	)

pure virtual

Receive notification of ignorable whitespace in element content.

Validating Parsers must use this method to report each chunk of ignorable whitespace (see the W3C XML 1.0 recommendation, section 2.10): non-validating parsers may also use this method if they are capable of parsing and using content models.

The scanner may return all contiguous whitespace in a single chunk, or it may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event will come from the same external entity, so that the Locator provides useful information.

The parser must not attempt to read from the array outside of the specified range.

Parameters

chars	The whitespace characters from the XML document.
length	The number of characters to read from the array.
cdataSection	Indicates that this data is inside a CDATA section.

See also: docCharacters

Implemented in SAXParser, and AbstractDOMParser.

virtual void XMLDocumentHandler::resetDocument ( )

pure virtual

Reset the document handler's state, if required.

This method is used to give the registered document handler a chance to reset itself. Its called by the scanner at the start of every parse.

Implemented in SAXParser, and AbstractDOMParser.

virtual void XMLDocumentHandler::startDocument ( )

pure virtual

Receive notification of the start of a new document.

This method is the first callback called the scanner at the start of every parse. This is before any content is parsed.

Implemented in SAXParser, and AbstractDOMParser.

virtual void XMLDocumentHandler::startElement	(	const XMLElementDecl &	elemDecl,
		const unsigned int	uriId,
		const XMLCh *const	prefixName,
		const RefVectorOf< XMLAttr > &	attrList,
		const XMLSize_t	attrCount,
		const bool	isEmpty,
		const bool	isRoot
	)

pure virtual

Receive notification of a new start tag.

This method is called when scanner encounters the start of an element tag. All elements must always have a startElement() tag. Empty tags will only have the startElement() tag and no endElement() tag.

Parameters

elemDecl	The name of the element whose start tag was just parsed.
uriId	The ID of the URI in the URI pool (only valid if name spaces is enabled)
prefixName	The string representing the prefix name
attrList	List of attributes in the element
attrCount	Count of the attributes in the element
isEmpty	Indicates if the element is empty, in which case you should not expect an endElement() event.
isRoot	Indicates if this is the root element.

Implemented in SAXParser, and AbstractDOMParser.

virtual void XMLDocumentHandler::startEntityReference ( const XMLEntityDecl & entDecl )

pure virtual

Receive notification when the scanner hits an entity reference.

This is currently useful only to DOM parser configurations as SAX does not provide any api to return this information.

Parameters

entDecl The name of the entity that was referenced.

Implemented in SAXParser, and AbstractDOMParser.

virtual void XMLDocumentHandler::XMLDecl	(	const XMLCh *const	versionStr,
		const XMLCh *const	encodingStr,
		const XMLCh *const	standaloneStr,
		const XMLCh *const	autoEncodingStr
	)

pure virtual

Receive notification of an XML declaration.

Currently neither DOM nor SAX provide API's to return back this information.

Parameters

versionStr	The value of the `version` pseudoattribute of the XML decl.
encodingStr	The value of the `encoding` pseudoattribute of the XML decl.
standaloneStr	The value of the `standalone` pseudoattribute of the XML decl.
autoEncodingStr	The encoding string auto-detected by the scanner. In absence of any 'encoding' attribute in the XML decl, the XML standard specifies how a parser can auto-detect. If there is no `encodingStr` this is what will be used to try to decode the file.

Implemented in SAXParser, and AbstractDOMParser.
