Fields

NameTypeDescription
onEndTag HAyaDFIC3std3xml7ElementZvRegister 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

NameTypeDescription

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.

Methods

NameDescription
onTextRaw (handler) 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 (classname) Create instance of class specified by the fully qualified name classname. The class must either have no constructors or have a default constructor.
opCmp (o) Compare with another Object obj.
opEquals (o) 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.
