Class `std.xml.ElementParser`

Class for parsing an XML element.


						
				class ElementParser
				;

Fields

Name	Type	Description
`onEndTag`	`void delegate(const(Element))`	Register a handler which will be called whenever an end tag is encountered which matches the specified name. You can also pass null as the name, in which case the handler will be called for any unmatched end tag.
`onStartTag`	`void delegate(ElementParser)`	Register a handler which will be called whenever a start tag is encountered which matches the specified name. You can also pass null as the name, in which case the handler will be called for any unmatched start tag.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
`onCData`[set]	`void delegate(string)`	Register a handler which will be called whenever a character data segment is encountered.
`onComment`[set]	`void delegate(string)`	Register a handler which will be called whenever a comment is encountered.
`onPI`[set]	`void delegate(string)`	Register a handler which will be called whenever a processing instruction is encountered.
`onText`[set]	`void delegate(string)`	Register a handler which will be called whenever text is encountered.
`onXI`[set]	`void delegate(string)`	Register a handler which will be called whenever an XML instruction is encountered.
`tag`[get]	`const(Tag)`	The Tag at the start of the element being parsed. You can read this to determine the tag's name and attributes.

Methods

Name	Description
`onTextRaw`	Register an alternative handler which will be called whenever text is encountered. This differs from onText in that onText will decode the text, whereas onTextRaw will not. This allows you to make design choices, since onText will be more accurate, but slower, while onTextRaw will be faster, but less accurate. Of course, you can still call decode() within your handler, if you want, but you'd probably want to use onTextRaw only in circumstances where you know that decoding is unnecessary.
`parse`	Parse an XML element.
`toString`	Returns that part of the element which has already been parsed
`factory`	Create instance of class specified by the fully qualified name classname. The class must either have no constructors or have a default constructor.
`opCmp`	Compare with another Object obj.
`opEquals`	Test whether `this` is equal to `o`. The default implementation only compares by identity (using the `is` operator). Generally, overrides for `opEquals` should attempt to compare objects by their contents.
`toHash`	Compute hash function for Object.
`toString`	Convert Object to a human readable string.

Standards

XML 1.0

Note that you cannot construct instances of this class directly. You can construct a DocumentParser (which is a subclass of ElementParser), but otherwise, Instances of ElementParser will be created for you by the library, and passed your way via onStartTag handlers.
