-<h1>Expat XML Parser</h1>
-
-<p>Expat is a library, written in C, for parsing XML documents. It's
-the underlying XML parser for the open source Mozilla project, Perl's
-<code>XML::Parser</code>, Python's <code>xml.parsers.expat</code>, and
-other open-source XML parsers.</p>
-
-<p>This library is the creation of James Clark, who's also given us
-groff (an nroff look-alike), Jade (an implemention of ISO's DSSSL
-stylesheet language for SGML), XP (a Java XML parser package), XT (a
-Java XSL engine). James was also the technical lead on the XML
-Working Group at W3C that produced the XML specification.</p>

-<h2><a name="overview">Overview</a></h2>
-
-<p>Expat is a stream-oriented parser. 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 1 if it
-knows how to deal with the encoding. Otherwise the handler should
-return 0. 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

-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>

-<h3><a name="setting">Handler Setting</a></h3>
-
-<p>Although handlers are typically set prior to parsing and left alone, an
-application may choose to set or change the handler for a parsing event
-while the parse is in progress. For instance, your application may choose
-to ignore all text not descended from a <code>para</code> element. One
-way it could do this is to set the character handler when a para start tag
-is seen, and unset it for the corresponding end tag.</p>
-
-<p>A handler may be <em>unset</em> by providing a NULL pointer to the
-appropriate handler setter. None of the handler setting functions have
-a return value.</p>
-
-<p>Your handlers will be receiving strings in arrays of type
-<code>XML_Char</code>. This type is defined in expat.h as <code>char
-*</code> and contains bytes encoding UTF-8. Note that you'll receive
-them in this form independent of the original encoding of the
-document.</p>
