It includes classesand APIs required for implementing SAX drivers, along with a factoryclass for returning any SAX parser installed on the user's system.=head1 USING A SAX2 PARSERThe factory class is XML::SAX::ParserFactory. Please see thedocumentation of that module for how to instantiate a SAX parser:L<XML::SAX::ParserFactory>. However if you don't want to load upanother manual page, here's a short synopsis: use XML::SAX::ParserFactory; use XML::SAX::XYZHandler; my $handler = XML::SAX::XYZHandler->new(); my $p = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->parser(Handler => $handler); $p->parse_uri("foo.xml"); # or $p->parse_string("<foo/>") or $p->parse_file($fh);This will automatically load a SAX2 parser (defaulting toXML::SAX::PurePerl if no others are found) and return it to you.In order to learn how to use SAX to parse XML, you will need to readL<XML::SAX::Intro> and for reference, L<XML::SAX::Specification>.=head1 WRITING A SAX2 PARSERThe first thing to remember in writing a SAX2 parser is to subclassXML::SAX::Base. This will make your life infinitely easier, by providinga number of methods automagically for you. See L<XML::SAX::Base> for moredetails.When writing a SAX2 parser that is compatible with XML::SAX, you needto inform XML::SAX of the presence of that driver when you install it.In order to do that, XML::SAX contains methods for saving the fact thatthe parser exists on your system to a "INI" file, which is then loadedto determine which parsers are installed.The best way to do this is to follow these rules:=over 4=item * Add XML::SAX as a prerequisite in Makefile.PL: WriteMakefile( ... PREREQ_PM => { 'XML::SAX' => 0 }, ... );Alternatively you may wish to check for it in other ways that willcause more than just a warning.=item * Add the following code snippet to your Makefile.PL: sub MY::install { package MY; my $script = shift->SUPER::install(@_); if (ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt( "Do you want to modify ParserDetails.ini?", 'Y') =~ /^y/i) { $script =~ s/install :: (.*)$/install :: $1 install_sax_driver/m; $script .= <<"INSTALL"; install_sax_driver : \t\@\$(PERL) -MXML::SAX -e "XML::SAX->add_parser(q(\$(NAME)))->save_parsers()" INSTALL } return $script; }Note that you should check the output of this - \$(NAME) will use the name ofyour distribution, which may not be exactly what you want. For example XML::LibXMLhas a driver called XML::LibXML::SAX::Generator, which is used in place of\$(NAME) in the above.=item * Add an XML::SAX test:A test file should be added to your t/ directory containing something like thefollowing: use Test; BEGIN { plan tests => 3 } use XML::SAX; use XML::SAX::PurePerl::DebugHandler; XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::MyDriver)); local $XML::SAX::ParserPackage = 'XML::SAX::MyDriver'; eval { my $handler = XML::SAX::PurePerl::DebugHandler->new(); ok($handler); my $parser = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->parser(Handler => $handler); ok($parser); ok($parser->isa('XML::SAX::MyDriver'); $parser->parse_string("<tag/>"); ok($handler->{seen}{start_element}); };=back=head1 EXPORTSBy default, XML::SAX exports nothing into the caller's namespace. However youcan request the symbols C<Namespaces> and C<Validation> which are theURIs for those features, allowing an easier way to request those featuresvia ParserFactory: use XML::SAX qw(Namespaces Validation); my $factory = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->new(); $factory->require_feature(Namespaces); $factory->require_feature(Validation); my $parser = $factory->parser();=head1 AUTHORCurrent maintainer: Grant McLean, grantm@cpan.orgOriginally written by:Matt Sergeant, matt@sergeant.orgKip Hampton, khampton@totalcinema.comRobin Berjon, robin@knowscape.com=head1 LICENSEThis is free software, you may use it and distribute it underthe same terms as Perl itself.=head1 SEE ALSOL<XML::SAX::Base> for writing SAX Filters and ParsersL<XML::SAX::PurePerl> for an XML parser written in 100%pure perl.L<XML::SAX::Exception> for details on exception handling=cut
