You register callback (or +handler) functions with the parser and then start feeding it the +document. As the parser recognizes parts of the document, it will +call the appropriate handler for that part (if you've registered one.) +The document is fed to the parser in pieces, so you can start parsing +before you have all the document. This also allows you to parse really +huge documents that won't fit into memory.</p> + +<p>Expat can be intimidating due to the many kinds of handlers and +options you can set. But you only need to learn four functions in +order to do 90% of what you'll want to do with it:</p> + +<dl> + +<dt><code><a href= "#XML_ParserCreate" + >XML_ParserCreate</a></code></dt> + <dd>Create a new parser object.</dd> + +<dt><code><a href= "#XML_SetElementHandler" + >XML_SetElementHandler</a></code></dt> + <dd>Set handlers for start and end tags.</dd> + +<dt><code><a href= "#XML_SetCharacterDataHandler" + >XML_SetCharacterDataHandler</a></code></dt> + <dd>Set handler for text.</dd> + +<dt><code><a href= "#XML_Parse" + >XML_Parse</a></code></dt> + <dd>Pass a buffer full of document to the parser</dd> +</dl> + +<p>These functions and others are described in the <a +href="#reference">reference</a> part of this document. The reference +section also describes in detail the parameters passed to the +different types of handlers.</p> + +<p>Let's look at a very simple example program that only uses 3 of the +above functions (it doesn't need to set a character handler.) The +program <a href="../examples/outline.c">outline.c</a> prints an +element outline, indenting child elements to distinguish them from the +parent element that contains them. The start handler does all the +work. It prints two indenting spaces for every level of ancestor +elements, then it prints the element and attribute +information. Finally it increments the global <code>Depth</code> +variable.</p> + +<pre class="eg"> +int Depth; + +void +start(void *data, const char *el, const char **attr) { + int i; + + for (i = 0; i < Depth; i++) + printf(" "); + + printf("%s", el); + + for (i = 0; attr[i]; i += 2) { + printf(" %s='%s'", attr[i], attr[i + 1]); + } + + printf("\n"); + Depth++; +} /* End of start handler */ +</pre> + +<p>The end tag simply does the bookkeeping work of decrementing +<code>Depth</code>.</p> +<pre class="eg"> +void +end(void *data, const char *el) { + Depth--; +} /* End of end handler */ +</pre> + +<p>After creating the parser, the main program just has the job of +shoveling the document to the parser so that it can do its work.</p> + +<hr /> +<h2><a name="building">Building and Installing Expat</a></h2> + +<p>The Expat distribution comes as a compressed (with GNU gzip) tar +file. You may download the latest version from <a href= +"http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/" >Source Forge</a>. After +unpacking this, cd into the directory. Then follow either the Win32 +directions or Unix directions below.</p> + +<h3>Building under Win32</h3> + +<p>If you're using the GNU compiler under cygwin, follow the Unix +directions in the next section. Otherwise if you have Microsoft's +Developer Studio installed, then from Windows Explorer double-click on +"expat.dsp" in the lib directory and build and install in the usual +manner.</p> + +<p>Alternatively, you may download the Win32 binary package that +contains the "expat.h" include file and a pre-built DLL.</p> + +<h3>Building under Unix (or GNU)</h3> + +<p>First you'll need to run the configure shell script in order to +configure the Makefiles and headers for your system.</p> + +<p>If you're happy with all the defaults that configure picks for you, +and you have permission on your system to install into /usr/local, you +can install Expat with this sequence of commands:</p> + +<pre class="eg"> + ./configure + make + make install +</pre> + +<p>There are some options that you can provide to this script, but the +only one we'll mention here is the <code>--prefix</code> option. You +can find out all the options available by running configure with just +the <code>--help</code> option.</p> + +<p>By default, the configure script sets things up so that the library +gets installed in <code>/usr/local/lib</code> and the associated +header file in <code>/usr/local/include</code>. But if you were to +give the option, <code>--prefix=/home/me/mystuff</code>, then the +library and header would get installed in +<code>/home/me/mystuff/lib</code> and +<code>/home/me/mystuff/include</code> respectively.</p> + +<hr /> +<h2><a name="using">Using Expat</a></h2> + +<h3>Compiling and Linking Against Expat</h3> + +<p>Unless you installed Expat in a location not expected by your +compiler and linker, all you have to do to use Expat in your programs +is to include the Expat header (<code>#include <expat.h></code>) +in your files that make calls to it and to tell the linker that it +needs to link against the Expat library. On Unix systems, this would +usually be done with the <code>-lexpat</code> argument. Otherwise, +you'll need to tell the compiler where to look for the Expat header +and the linker where to find the Expat library. You may also need to +take steps to tell the operating system where to find this libary at +run time.</p> + +<p>On a Unix-based system, here's what a Makefile might look like when +Expat is installed in a standard location:</p> + +<pre class="eg"> +CC=cc +LDFLAGS= +LIBS= -lexpat +xmlapp: xmlapp.o + $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o xmlapp xmlapp.o $(LIBS) +</pre> + +<p>If you installed Expat in, say, <code>/home/me/mystuff</code>, then +the Makefile would look like this:</p> + +<pre class="eg"> +CC=cc +CFLAGS= -I/home/me/mystuff/include +LDFLAGS= +LIBS= -L/home/me/mystuff/lib -lexpat +xmlapp: xmlapp.o + $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o xmlapp xmlapp.o $(LIBS) +</pre> + +<p>You'd also have to set the environment variable +<code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> to <code>/home/me/mystuff/lib</code> (or +to <code>${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/home/me/mystuff/lib</code> if +LD_LIBRARY_PATH already has some directories in it) in order to run +your application.</p> + +<h3>Expat Basics</h3> + +<p>As we saw in the example in the overview, the first step in parsing +an XML document with Expat is to create a parser object. There are <a +href="#creation">three functions</a> in the Expat API for creating a +parser object. However, only two of these (<code><a href= +"#XML_ParserCreate" >XML_ParserCreate</a></code> and <code><a href= +"#XML_ParserCreateNS" >XML_ParserCreateNS</a></code>) can be used for +constructing a parser for a top-level document. The object returned +by these functions is an opaque pointer (i.e. "expat.h" declares it as +void *) to data with further internal structure. In order to free the +memory associated with this object you must call <code><a href= +"#XML_ParserFree" >XML_ParserFree</a></code>. Note that if you have +provided any <a href="userdata">user data</a> that gets stored in the +parser, then your application is responsible for freeing it prior to +calling <code>XML_ParserFree</code>.</p> + +<p>The objects returned by the parser creation functions are good for +parsing only one XML document or external parsed entity. If your +application needs to parse many XML documents, then it needs to create +a parser object for each one. The best way to deal with this is to +create a higher level object that contains all the default +initialization you want for your parser objects.</p> + +<p>Walking through a document hierarchy with a stream oriented parser +will require a good stack mechanism in order to keep track of current +context. For instance, to answer the simple question, "What element +does this text belong to?" requires a stack, since the parser may have +descended into other elements that are children of the current one and +has encountered this text on the way out.</p> + +<p>The things you're likely to want to keep on a stack are the +currently opened element and it's attributes. You push this +information onto the stack in the start handler and you pop it off in +the end handler.</p> + +<p>For some tasks, it is sufficient to just keep information on what +the depth of the stack is (or would be if you had one.) The outline +program shown above presents one example. Another such task would be +skipping over a complete element. When you see the start tag for the +element you want to skip, you set a skip flag and record the depth at +which the element started. When the end tag handler encounters the +same depth, the skipped element has ended and the flag may be +cleared. If you follow the convention that the root element starts at +1, then you can use the same variable for skip flag and skip +depth.</p> + +<pre class="eg"> +void +init_info(Parseinfo *info) { + info->skip = 0; + info->depth = 1; + /* Other initializations here */ +} /* End of init_info */ + +void +rawstart(void *data, const char *el, const char **attr) { + Parseinfo *inf = (Parseinfo *) data; + + if (! inf->skip) { + if (should_skip(inf, el, attr)) { + inf->skip = inf->depth; + } + else + start(inf, el, attr); /* This does rest of start handling */ + } + + inf->depth++; +} /* End of rawstart */ + +void +rawend(void *data, const char *el) { + Parseinfo *inf = (Parseinfo *) data; + + inf->depth--; + + if (! inf->skip) + end(inf, el); /* This does rest of end handling */ + + if (inf->skip == inf->depth) + inf->skip = 0; +} /* End rawend */ +</pre> + +<p>Notice in the above example the difference in how depth is +manipulated in the start and end handlers. The end tag handler should +be the mirror image of the start tag handler. This is necessary to +properly model containment. Since, in the start tag handler, we +incremented depth <em>after</em> the main body of start tag code, then +in the end handler, we need to manipulate it <em>before</em> the main +body. If we'd decided to increment it first thing in the start +handler, then we'd have had to decrement it last thing in the end +handler.</p> + +<h3 id="userdata">Communicating between handlers</h3> + +<p>In order to be able to pass information between different handlers +without using globals, you'll need to define a data structure to hold +the shared variables. You can then tell Expat (with the <code><a href= +"#XML_SetUserData" >XML_SetUserData</a></code> function) to pass a +pointer to this structure to the handlers. This is typically the first +argument received by most handlers.</p> + +<h3>XML Version</h3> + +<p>Expat is an XML 1.0 parser, and as such never complains based on +the value of the <code>version</code> pseudo-attribute in the XML +declaration, if present.</p> + +<p>If an application needs to check the version number (to support +alternate processing), it should use the <code><a href= +"#XML_SetXmlDeclHandler" >XML_SetXmlDeclHandler</a></code> function to +set a handler that uses the information in the XML declaration to +determine what to do. This example shows how to check that only a +version number of <code>"1.0"</code> is accepted:</p> + +<pre class="eg"> +static int wrong_version; +static XML_Parser parser; + +static void +xmldecl_handler(void *userData, + const XML_Char *version, + const XML_Char *encoding, + int standalone) +{ + static const XML_Char Version_1_0[] = {'1', '.', '0', 0}; + + int i; + + for (i = 0; i < (sizeof(Version_1_0) / sizeof(Version_1_0[0])); ++i) { + if (version[i] != Version_1_0[i]) { + wrong_version = 1; + /* also clear all other handlers: */ + XML_SetCharacterDataHandler(parser, NULL); + ... + return; + } + } + ... +} +</pre> + +<h3>Namespace Processing</h3> + +<p>When the parser is created using the <code><a href= +"#XML_ParserCreateNS" >XML_ParserCreateNS</a></code>, function, Expat +performs namespace processing. Under namespace processing, Expat +consumes <code>xmlns</code> and <code>xmlns:...</code> attributes, +which declare namespaces for the scope of the element in which they +occur. This means that your start handler will not see these +attributes. Your application can still be informed of these +declarations by setting namespace declaration handlers with <a href= +"#XML_SetNamespaceDeclHandler" +><code>XML_SetNamespaceDeclHandler</code></a>.</p> + +<p>Element type and attribute names that belong to a given namespace +are passed to the appropriate handler in expanded form. By default +this expanded form is a concatenation of the namespace URI, the +separator character (which is the 2nd argument to <code><a href= +"#XML_ParserCreateNS" >XML_ParserCreateNS</a></code>), and the local +name (i.e. the part after the colon). Names with undeclared prefixes +are passed through to the handlers unchanged, with the prefix and +colon still attached. Unprefixed attribute names are never expanded, +and unprefixed element names are only expanded when they are in the +scope of a default namespace.</p> + +<p>However if <code><a href= "XML_SetReturnNSTriplet" +>XML_SetReturnNSTriplet</a></code> has been called with a non-zero +<code>do_nst</code> parameter, then the expanded form for names with +an explicit prefix is a concatenation of: URI, separator, local name, +separator, prefix.</p> + +<p>You can set handlers for the start of a namespace declaration and +for the end of a scope of a declaration with the <code><a href= +"#XML_SetNamespaceDeclHandler" >XML_SetNamespaceDeclHandler</a></code> +function. The StartNamespaceDeclHandler is called prior to the start +tag handler and the EndNamespaceDeclHandler is called before the +corresponding end tag that ends the namespace's scope. The namespace +start handler gets passed the prefix and URI for the namespace. For a +default namespace declaration (xmlns='...'), the prefix will be null. +The URI will be null for the case where the default namespace is being +unset. The namespace end handler just gets the prefix for the closing +scope.</p> + +<p>These handlers are called for each declaration. So if, for +instance, a start tag had three namespace declarations, then the +StartNamespaceDeclHandler would be called three times before the start +tag handler is called, once for each declaration.</p> + +<h3>Character Encodings</h3> + +<p>While XML is based on Unicode, and every XML processor is required +to recognized UTF-8 and UTF-16 (1 and 2 byte encodings of Unicode), +other encodings may be declared in XML documents or entities. For the +main document, an XML declaration may contain an encoding +declaration:</p> +<pre> +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?> +</pre> + +<p>External parsed entities may begin with a text declaration, which +looks like an XML declaration with just an encoding declaration:</p> +<pre> +<?xml encoding="Big5"?> +</pre> + +<p>With Expat, you may also specify an encoding at the time of +creating a parser. This is useful when the encoding information may +come from a source outside the document itself (like a higher level +protocol.)</p> + +<p><a name="builtin_encodings"></a>There are four built-in encodings +in Expat:</p> +<ul> +<li>UTF-8</li> +<li>UTF-16</li> +<li>ISO-8859-1</li> +<li>US-ASCII</li> +</ul> + +<p>Anything else discovered in an encoding declaration or in the +protocol encoding specified in the parser constructor, triggers a call +to the <code>UnknownEncodingHandler</code>. This handler gets passed +the encoding name and a pointer to an <code>XML_Encoding</code> data +structure. Your handler must fill in this structure and return +<code>XML_STATUS_OK</code> if it knows how to deal with the +encoding. Otherwise the handler should return +<code>XML_STATUS_ERROR</code>. The handler also gets passed a pointer +to an optional application data structure that you may indicate when +you set the handler.</p> + +<p>Expat places restrictions on character encodings that it can +support by filling in the <code>XML_Encoding</code> structure. +include file:</p> +<ol> +<li>Every ASCII character that can appear in a well-formed XML document +must be represented by a single byte, and that byte must correspond to +it's ASCII encoding (except for the characters $@\^'{}~)</li> +<li>Characters must be encoded in 4 bytes or less.</li> +<li>All characters encoded must have Unicode scalar values less than or +equal to 65535 (0xFFFF)<em>This does not apply to the built-in support +for UTF-16 and UTF-8</em></li> +<li>No character may be encoded by more that one distinct sequence of +bytes</li> +</ol> + +<p><code>XML_Encoding</code> contains an array of integers that +correspond to the 1st byte of an encoding sequence. If the value in +the array for a byte is zero or positive, then the byte is a single +byte encoding that encodes the Unicode scalar value contained in the +array. A -1 in this array indicates a malformed byte. If the value is +-2, -3, or -4, then the byte is the beginning of a 2, 3, or 4 byte +sequence respectively. Multi-byte sequences are sent to the convert +function pointed at in the <code>XML_Encoding</code> structure. This +function should return the Unicode scalar value for the sequence or -1 +if the sequence is malformed.</p> + +<p>One pitfall that novice Expat users are likely to fall into is that +although Expat may accept input in various encodings, the strings that +it passes to the handlers are always encoded in UTF-8 or UTF-16 +(depending on how Expat was compiled). Your application is responsible +for any translation of these strings into other encodings.</p> + +<h3>Handling External Entity References</h3> + +<p>Expat does not read or parse external entities directly. Note that +any external DTD is a special case of an external entity. If you've +set no <code>ExternalEntityRefHandler</code>, then external entity +references are silently ignored. Otherwise, it calls your handler with +the information needed to read and parse the external entity.</p> + +<p>Your handler isn't actually responsible for parsing the entity, but +it is responsible for creating a subsidiary parser with <code><a href= +"#XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate" +>XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate</a></code> that will do the job. This +returns an instance of <code>XML_Parser</code> that has handlers and +other data structures initialized from the parent parser. You may then +use <code><a href= "#XML_Parse" >XML_Parse</a></code> or <code><a +href= "#XML_ParseBuffer">XML_ParseBuffer</a></code> calls against this +parser. Since external entities my refer to other external entities, +your handler should be prepared to be called recursively.</p> + +<h3>Parsing DTDs</h3> + +<p>In order to parse parameter entities, before starting the parse, +you must call <code><a href= "#XML_SetParamEntityParsing" +>XML_SetParamEntityParsing</a></code> with one of the following +arguments:</p> +<dl> +<dt><code>XML_PARAM_ENTITY_PARSING_NEVER</code></dt> +<dd>Don't parse parameter entities or the external subset</dd> +<dt><code>XML_PARAM_ENTITY_PARSING_UNLESS_STANDALONE</code></dt> +<dd>Parse parameter entites and the external subset unless +<code>standalone</code> was set to "yes" in the XML declaration.</dd> +<dt><code>XML_PARAM_ENTITY_PARSING_ALWAYS</code></dt> +<dd>Always parse parameter entities and the external subset</dd> +</dl> + +<p>In order to read an external DTD, you also have to set an external +entity reference handler as described above.</p> + +<hr /> +<!-- ================================================================ --> + +<h2><a name="reference">Expat Reference</a></h2> + +<h3><a name="creation">Parser Creation</a></h3> + +<pre class="fcndec" id="XML_ParserCreate"> +XML_Parser +XML_ParserCreate(const XML_Char *encoding); +</pre> +<div class="fcndef"> +Construct a new parser.

Therefore, you must be careful that the +output file does not go into the same directory as the input +file. Otherwise, \fBxmlwf\fR will delete the +input file before it generates the output file (just like running +cat < file > file in most shells). + +Two structurally equivalent XML documents have a byte-for-byte +identical canonical XML representation. +Note that ignorable white space is considered significant and +is treated equivalently to data. +More on canonical XML can be found at +http://www.jclark.com/xml/canonxml.html . +.TP +\fB-e encoding\fR +Specifies the character encoding for the document, overriding +any document encoding declaration. \fBxmlwf\fR +supports four built-in encodings: +US-ASCII, +UTF-8, +UTF-16, and +ISO-8859-1. +Also see the \fB-w\fR option. +.TP +\fB-m\fR +Outputs some strange sort of XML file that completely +describes the the input file, including character postitions. +Requires \fB-d\fR to specify an output file. +.TP +\fB-n\fR +Turns on namespace processing.

This tells Expat to parse the entire file, +but not perform any processing. +This gives a fairly accurate idea of the raw speed of Expat itself +without client overhead. +\fB-t\fR turns off most of the output options +(\fB-d\fR, \fB-m\fR, \fB-c\fR, +\&...). +.TP +\fB-v\fR +Prints the version of the Expat library being used, including some +information on the compile-time configuration of the library, and +then exits. +.TP +\fB-w\fR +Enables support for Windows code pages. +Normally, \fBxmlwf\fR will throw an error if it +runs across an encoding that it is not equipped to handle itself. With +\fB-w\fR, xmlwf will try to use a Windows code +page. See also \fB-e\fR. +.TP +\fB-x\fR +Turns on parsing external entities. + +Non-validating parsers are not required to resolve external +entities, or even expand entities at all. +Expat always expands internal entities (?), +but external entity parsing must be enabled explicitly. + +External entities are simply entities that obtain their +data from outside the XML file currently being parsed. + +This is an example of an internal entity: + +.nf +<!ENTITY vers '1.0.2'> +.fi + +And here are some examples of external entities: + +.nf +<!ENTITY header SYSTEM "header-&vers;.xml"> (parsed) +<!ENTITY logo SYSTEM "logo.png" PNG> (unparsed) +.fi +.TP +\fB--\fR +(Two hyphens.) +Terminates the list of options.
