Detailed Description

Basic interface for SAX (Simple API for XML) parsers.

All SAX parsers must implement this basic interface: it allows applications to register handlers for different types of events and to initiate a parse from a URI, or a character stream.

All SAX parsers must also implement a zero-argument constructor (though other constructors are also allowed).

SAX parsers are reusable but not re-entrant: the application may reuse a parser object (possibly with a different input source) once the first parse has completed successfully, but it may not invoke the parse() methods recursively within a parse.

Member Function Documentation

◆ parse() [1/3]

virtual void Parser::parse ( const char *const  systemId)
pure virtual

Parse an XML document from a system identifier (URI).

This method is a shortcut for the common case of reading a document from a system identifier. It is the exact equivalent of the following:

parse(new URLInputSource(systemId));

If the system identifier is a URL, it must be fully resolved by the application before it is passed to the parser.

Parameters
systemIdThe system identifier (URI).
Exceptions
SAXExceptionAny SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
XMLExceptionAn exception from the parser or client handler code.
See also
parse(const InputSource&)

Implemented in SAXParser.

◆ parse() [2/3]

virtual void Parser::parse ( const InputSource source)
pure virtual

Parse an XML document.

The application can use this method to instruct the SAX parser to begin parsing an XML document from any valid input source (a character stream, a byte stream, or a URI).

Applications may not invoke this method while a parse is in progress (they should create a new Parser instead for each additional XML document). Once a parse is complete, an application may reuse the same Parser object, possibly with a different input source.

Parameters
sourceThe input source for the top-level of the XML document.
Exceptions
SAXExceptionAny SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
XMLExceptionAn exception from the parser or client handler code.

setEntityResolver
setDTDHandler
setDocumentHandler
setErrorHandler

Implemented in SAXParser.

◆ parse() [3/3]

virtual void Parser::parse ( const XMLCh *const  systemId)
pure virtual

Parse an XML document from a system identifier (URI).

This method is a shortcut for the common case of reading a document from a system identifier. It is the exact equivalent of the following:

parse(new URLInputSource(systemId));

If the system identifier is a URL, it must be fully resolved by the application before it is passed to the parser.

Parameters
systemIdThe system identifier (URI).
Exceptions
SAXExceptionAny SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
XMLExceptionAn exception from the parser or client handler code.
See also
parse(const InputSource&)

Implemented in SAXParser.

◆ setDocumentHandler()

virtual void Parser::setDocumentHandler ( DocumentHandler *const  handler)
pure virtual

Allow an application to register a document event handler.

If the application does not register a document handler, all document events reported by the SAX parser will be silently ignored (this is the default behaviour implemented by HandlerBase).

Applications may register a new or different handler in the middle of a parse, and the SAX parser must begin using the new handler immediately.

Parameters
handlerThe document handler.
See also
DocumentHandler::DocumentHandler
HandlerBase::HandlerBase

Implemented in SAXParser.

◆ setDTDHandler()

virtual void Parser::setDTDHandler ( DTDHandler *const  handler)
pure virtual

Allow an application to register a DTD event handler.

If the application does not register a DTD handler, all DTD events reported by the SAX parser will be silently ignored (this is the default behaviour implemented by HandlerBase).

Applications may register a new or different handler in the middle of a parse, and the SAX parser must begin using the new handler immediately.

Parameters
handlerThe DTD handler.
See also
DTDHandler::DTDHandler
HandlerBase::HandlerBase

Implemented in SAXParser.

◆ setEntityResolver()

virtual void Parser::setEntityResolver ( EntityResolver *const  resolver)
pure virtual

Allow an application to register a custom entity resolver.

If the application does not register an entity resolver, the SAX parser will resolve system identifiers and open connections to entities itself (this is the default behaviour implemented in HandlerBase).

Applications may register a new or different entity resolver in the middle of a parse, and the SAX parser must begin using the new resolver immediately.

Parameters
resolverThe object for resolving entities.
See also
EntityResolver::EntityResolver
HandlerBase::HandlerBase

Implemented in SAXParser.

◆ setErrorHandler()

virtual void Parser::setErrorHandler ( ErrorHandler *const  handler)
pure virtual

Allow an application to register an error event handler.

If the application does not register an error event handler, all error events reported by the SAX parser will be silently ignored, except for fatalError, which will throw a SAXException (this is the default behaviour implemented by HandlerBase).

Applications may register a new or different handler in the middle of a parse, and the SAX parser must begin using the new handler immediately.

Parameters
handlerThe error handler.
See also
ErrorHandler::ErrorHandler
SAXException::SAXException
HandlerBase::HandlerBase

Implemented in SAXParser.
