Text.XML.Expat.Extended

An extended variant of Node intended to implement the entire XML specification. DTDs are not yet supported, however.

The names conflict with those in Tree so you must use qualified import if you want to use both modules.

Tree structure

type Document a tag text = DocumentG a [] tag text

A pure representation of an XML document that uses a list as its container type.

data DocumentG a c tag text

Document representation of the XML document, intended to support the entire XML specification. DTDs are not yet supported, however.

Constructors

Document

Fields

dXMLDeclaration :: Maybe (XMLDeclaration text)

dDocumentTypeDeclaration :: Maybe (DocumentTypeDeclaration c tag text)

dTopLevelMiscs :: c (Misc text)

dRoot :: NodeG a c tag text

Instances

(Functor c, List c) => DocumentClass (DocumentG ann) c

(Eq tag, Eq text, Eq a) => Eq (DocumentG a [] tag text)

(Show tag, Show text, Show a) => Show (DocumentG a [] tag text)

type NodeType (DocumentG ann) = NodeG ann

type Node a tag text = NodeG a [] tag text

A pure tree representation that uses a list as its container type, extended variant.

In the hexpat package, a list of nodes has the type [Node tag text], but note that you can also use the more general type function ListOf to give a list of any node type, using that node's associated list type, e.g. ListOf (UNode Text).

data NodeG a c tag text

Extended variant of the tree representation of the XML document, intended to support the entire XML specification. DTDs are not yet supported, however.

c is the container type for the element's children, which is [] in the hexpat package, and a monadic list type for hexpat-iteratee.

tag is the tag type, which can either be one of several string types, or a special type from the Text.XML.Expat.Namespaced or Text.XML.Expat.Qualified modules.

text is the string type for text content.

a is the type of the annotation. One of the things this can be used for is to store the XML parse location, which is useful for error handling.

Note that some functions in the Text.XML.Expat.Cursor module need to create new nodes through the MkElementClass type class. Normally this can only be done if a is a Maybe type or () (so it can provide the Nothing value for the annotation on newly created nodes). Or, you can write your own MkElementClass instance. Apart from that, there is no requirement for a to be a Maybe type.

Annotation-specific

modifyAnnotation :: (a -> a) -> Node a tag text -> Node a tag text

Modify this node's annotation (non-recursively) if it's an element, otherwise no-op.

mapAnnotation :: (a -> b) -> Node a tag text -> Node b tag text

Modify this node's annotation and all its children recursively if it's an element, otherwise no-op.

mapDocumentAnnotation :: (a -> b) -> Document a tag text -> Document b tag text

Modify the annotation of every node in the document recursively.

Qualified nodes

type QDocument a text = Document a (QName text) text

Fields

overrideEncoding :: Maybe Encoding

The encoding parameter, if provided, overrides the document's encoding declaration.

entityDecoder :: Maybe (tag -> Maybe text)

If provided, entity references (i.e.   and friends) will be decoded into text using the supplied lookup function

defaultParseOptions :: ParseOptions tag text

data Encoding

parse

Arguments

:: (GenericXMLString tag, GenericXMLString text)

=> ParseOptions tag text

Parse options

-> ByteString

Input text (a lazy ByteString)

-> (LDocument tag text, Maybe XMLParseError)

Lazily parse XML to tree. Note that forcing the XMLParseError return value will force the entire parse. Therefore, to ensure lazy operation, don't check the error status until you have processed the tree.

parse'

Arguments

:: (GenericXMLString tag, GenericXMLString text)

=> ParseOptions tag text

Parse options

-> ByteString

Input text (a strict ByteString)

-> Either XMLParseError (LDocument tag text)

Strictly parse XML to tree. Returns error message or valid parsed tree.

data XMLParseError

Parse error, consisting of message text and error location

Constructors

XMLParseError String XMLParseLocation

Instances

Eq XMLParseError

Show XMLParseError

NFData XMLParseError

data XMLParseLocation

Specifies a location of an event within the input text

Constructors

XMLParseLocation

Fields

xmlLineNumber :: Int64

Line number of the event

xmlColumnNumber :: Int64

Column number of the event

xmlByteIndex :: Int64

Byte index of event from start of document

xmlByteCount :: Int64

The number of bytes in the event

Variant that throws exceptions

parseThrowing

Arguments

:: (GenericXMLString tag, GenericXMLString text)

=> ParseOptions tag text

Parse options

-> ByteString

Input text (a lazy ByteString)

-> LDocument tag text

Lazily parse XML to tree. In the event of an error, throw XMLParseException.

parseThrowing can throw an exception from pure code, which is generally a bad way to handle errors, because Haskell's lazy evaluation means it's hard to predict where it will be thrown from. However, it may be acceptable in situations where it's not expected during normal operation, depending on the design of your program.

data XMLParseException

An exception indicating an XML parse error, used by the ..Throwing variants.

Constructors

XMLParseException XMLParseError

Instances

Eq XMLParseException

Show XMLParseException

Exception XMLParseException

Typeable * XMLParseException

Convert from SAX

saxToTree :: (GenericXMLString tag, Monoid text) => [(SAXEvent tag text, a)] -> (Document a tag text, Maybe XMLParseError)

A lower level function that lazily converts a SAX stream into a tree structure. Variant that takes annotations for start tags.

Abstraction of string types

class (Monoid s, Eq s) => GenericXMLString s where

An abstraction for any string type you want to use as xml text (that is, attribute values or element text content). If you want to use a new string type with hexpat, you must make it an instance of GenericXMLString.

gxFromString :: String -> s

gxFromChar :: Char -> s

gxHead :: s -> Char

gxTail :: s -> s

gxBreakOn :: Char -> s -> (s, s)
