#
#
# TO DO
# - update docs regarding PerlSAX interface
# - add current node to error context when checking DOM subtrees
# - add parsed Entity to test XML files
# - free circular references
# - Implied handler?
# - Notation, Entity, Unparsed checks, Default handler?
# - check no root element (it's checked by expat) ?

=head1 NAME
XML::Checker - A perl module for validating XML
=head1 SYNOPSIS
L<XML::Checker::Parser> - an L<XML::Parser> that validates at parse time
L<XML::DOM::ValParser> - an L<XML::DOM::Parser> that validates at parse time
(Some of the package names may change! This is only an alpha release...)
=head1 DESCRIPTION
XML::Checker can be used in different ways to validate XML. See the manual
pages of L<XML::Checker::Parser> and L<XML::DOM::ValParser>
for more information.
This document only describes common topics like error handling
and the XML::Checker class itself.
WARNING: Not all errors are currently checked. Almost everything is subject to
change. Some reported errors may not be real errors.
=head1 ERROR HANDLING
Whenever XML::Checker (or one of the packages that uses XML::Checker) detects a
potential error, the 'fail handler' is called. It is currently also called
to report information, like how many times an Entity was referenced.
(The whole error handling mechanism is subject to change, I'm afraid...)
The default fail handler is XML::Checker::print_error(), which prints an error
message to STDERR. It does not stop the XML::Checker, so it will continue
looking for other errors.
The error message is created with XML::Checker::error_string().
You can define your
own fail handler in two ways, locally and globally. Use a local variable to
temporarily override the fail handler. This way the default fail handler is restored
when the local variable goes out of scope, esp. when exceptions are thrown e.g.
# Using a local variable to temporarily override the fail handler (preferred)
{ # new block - start of local scope
local $XML::Checker::FAIL = \&my_fail;
... your code here ...
} # end of block - the previous fail handler is restored
You can also set the error handler globally, risking that your code may not
be reusable or may clash with other modules that use XML::Checker.
# Globally setting the fail handler (not recommended)
$XML::Checker::FAIL = \&my_fail;
... rest of your code ...
The fail handler is called with the following parameters ($code, $msg, @context),
where $code is the error code, $msg is the error description and
@context contains information on where the error occurred. The @context is
a (ordered) list of (key,value) pairs and can easily be turned into a hash.
It contains the following information:
Element - tag name of Element node (if applicable)
Attr - attribute name (if applicable)
ChildElementIndex - if applicable (see error 157)
line - only when parsing
column - only when parsing
byte - only when parsing (-1 means: end of file)
Some examples of fail handlers:
# Don't print info messages
sub my_fail
{
my $code = shift;
print STDERR XML::Checker::error_message ($code, @_)
if $code < 300;
}
# Die when the first error is encountered - this will stop
# the parsing process. Ignore information messages.
sub my_fail
{
my $code = shift;
die XML::Checker::error_message ($code, @_) if $code < 300;
}
# Count the number of undefined NOTATION references
# and print the error as usual
sub my_fail
{
my $code = shift;
$count_undef_notations++ if $code == 100;
XML::Checker::print_error ($code, @_);
}
# Die when an error is encountered.
# Don't die if a warning or info message is encountered, just print a message.
sub my_fail {
my $code = shift;
die XML::Checker::error_string ($code, @_) if $code < 200;
XML::Checker::print_error ($code, @_);
}
=head1 INSIGNIFICANT WHITESPACE
XML::Checker keeps track of whether whitespace found in character data
is significant or not. It is considered insignicant if it is found inside
an element that has a ELEMENT rule that is not of type Mixed or of type ANY.
(A Mixed ELEMENT rule does contains the #PCDATA keyword.
An ANY rule contains the ANY keyword. See the XML spec for more info.)
XML::Checker can not determine whether whitespace is insignificant in those two
cases, because they both allow regular character data to appear within
XML elements and XML::Checker can therefore not deduce whether whitespace
is part of the actual data or was just added for readability of the XML file.
XML::Checker::Parser and XML::DOM::ValParser both have the option to skip
insignificant whitespace when setting B<SkipInsignifWS> to 1 in their constructor.
If set, they will not call the Char handler when insignificant whitespace is
encountered. This means that in XML::DOM::ValParser no Text nodes are created
for insignificant whitespace.
Regardless of whether the SkipInsignifWS options is set, XML::Checker always
keeps track of whether whitespace is insignificant. After making a call to
XML::Checker's Char handler, you can find out if it was insignificant whitespace
by calling the isInsignifWS method.
When using multiple (nested) XML::Checker instances or when using XML::Checker
without using XML::Checker::Parser or XML::DOM::ValParser (which hardly anybody
probably will), make sure to set a local variable in the scope of your checking
code, e.g.
{ # new block - start of local scope
local $XML::Checker::INSIGNIF_WS = 0;
... insert your code here ...
} # end of scope
=head1 ERROR CODES
There are 3 categories, errors, warnings and info messages.
(The codes are still subject to change, as well the error descriptions.)
Most errors have a link to the appropriate Validaty Constraint (B<VC>)
or other section in the XML specification.

=head1 XML::Checker
XML::Checker can be easily plugged into your application.
It uses mostly the same style of event handlers (or callbacks) as L<XML::Parser>.
See L<XML::Parser> manual page for descriptions of most handlers.
It also implements PerlSAX style event handlers. See L<PerlSAX interface>.
Currently, the XML::Checker object is a blessed hash with the following
(potentially useful) entries:
$checker->{RootElement} - root element name as found in the DOCTYPE
$checker->{NOTATION}->{$notation} - is 1 if the NOTATION was defined
$checker->{ENTITY}->{$name} - contains the (first) ENTITY value if defined
$checker->{Unparsed}->{$entity} - is 1 if the unparsed ENTITY was defined
$checker->{ID}->{$id} - is 1 if the ID was defined
$checker->{IDREF}->{$id} - number of times the ID was referenced
# Less useful:
$checker->{ERule}->{$tag} - the ELEMENT rules by Element tag name
$checker->{ARule}->{$tag} - the ATTLIST rules by Element tag name
$checker->{Context} - context stack used internally
$checker->{CurrARule} - current ATTLIST rule for the current Element
=head2 XML:Checker methods
This section is only interesting when using XML::Checker directly.
XML::Checker supports most event handlers that L<XML::Parser> supports with minor
differences. Note that the XML::Checker event handler methods are
instance methods and not static, so don't forget to call them like this,
without passing $expat (as in the L<XML::Parser>) handlers:
$checker->Start($tagName);
=over 4
=item Constructor
$checker = new XML::Checker;
$checker = new XML::Checker (%user_args);
User data may be stored by client applications. Only $checker->{User} is
guaranteed not to clash with internal hash keys.
=item getRootElement ()
$tagName = $checker->getRootElement;
Returns the root element name as found in the DOCTYPE
=back
=head2 Expat interface
XML::Checker supports what I call the I<Expat> interface, which is
the collection of methods you normally specify as the callback handlers
when using XML::Parser.
Only the following L<XML::Parser> handlers are currently supported:
Init, Final, Char, Start, End, Element, Attlist, Doctype,
Unparsed, Entity, Notation.
I don't know how to correctly support the Default handler for all L<XML::Parser>
releases. The Start handler works a little different (see below) and I
added Attr, InitDomElem, FinalDomElem, CDATA and EntityRef handlers.
See L<XML::Parser> for a description of the handlers that are not listed below.
Note that this interface may disappear, when the PerlSAX interface stabilizes.
=over 4
=item Start ($tag)
$checker->Start($tag);
Call this when an Element with the specified $tag name is encountered.
Different from the Start handler in L<XML::Parser>, in that no attributes
are passed in (use the Attr handler for those.)
=item Attr ($tag, $attrName, $attrValue, $isSpecified)
$checker->Attr($tag,$attrName,$attrValue,$spec);
Checks an attribute with the specified $attrName and $attrValue against the
ATTLIST definition of the element with the specified $tag name.
$isSpecified means whether the attribute was specified (1) or defaulted (0).
=item EndAttr ()
$checker->EndAttr;
This should be called after all attributes are passed with Attr().
It will check which of the #REQUIRED attributes were not specified and generate
the appropriate error (159) for each one that is missing.
=item CDATA ($text)
$checker->CDATA($text);
This should be called whenever CDATASections are encountered.
Similar to Char handler (but might perform different checks later...)
=item EntityRef ($entity, $isParameterEntity)
$checker->EntityRef($entity,$isParameterEntity);
Checks the ENTITY reference. Set $isParameterEntity to 1 for
entity references that start with '%'.
=item InitDomElem () and FinalDomElem ()
Used by XML::DOM::Element::check() to initialize (and cleanup) the
context stack when checking a single element.
=back
=head2 PerlSAX interface
XML::Checker now also supports the PerlSAX interface, so you can use XML::Checker
wherever you use PerlSAX handlers.
XML::Checker implements the following methods: start_document, end_document,
start_element, end_element, characters, processing_instruction, comment,
start_cdata, end_cdata, entity_reference, notation_decl, unparsed_entity_decl,
entity_decl, element_decl, attlist_decl, doctype_decl, xml_decl
Not implemented: set_document_locator, ignorable_whitespace
See PerlSAX.pod for details. (It is called lib/PerlSAX.pod in the libxml-perl
distribution which can be found at CPAN.)
