implements XMLParserConfiguration

Known Indirect Subclasses

Class Overview

Represents a parser configuration that can be used as the configuration for a "pull" parser. A pull parser allows the application to drive the parser instead of having document information events "pushed" to the registered handlers.

A pull parser using this type of configuration first calls the setInputSource method. After the input source is set, the pull parser repeatedly calls the parse(boolean):boolean method. This method returns a value of true if there is more to parse in the document.

Calling the parse(XMLInputSource) is equivalent to setting the input source and calling the parse(boolean):boolean method with a "complete" value of true.

Summary

Public Methods
abstract void cleanup()
If the application decides to terminate parsing before the xml document is fully parsed, the application should call this method to free any resource allocated during parsing.
abstract boolean parse(boolean complete)
Parses the document in a pull parsing fashion.
abstract void setInputSource(XMLInputSource inputSource)
Sets the input source for the document to parse.

Public Methods

public abstract void cleanup ()

If the application decides to terminate parsing before the xml document is fully parsed, the application should call this method to free any resource allocated during parsing. For example, close all opened streams.

public abstract boolean parse (boolean complete)

Parses the document in a pull parsing fashion.

Parameters
complete True if the pull parser should parse the remaining document completely.
Returns
  • True if there is more document to parse.
Throws
XNIException Any XNI exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
IOException An IO exception from the parser, possibly from a byte stream or character stream supplied by the parser.

public abstract void setInputSource (XMLInputSource inputSource)

Sets the input source for the document to parse.

Parameters
inputSource The document's input source.
Throws
XMLConfigurationException Thrown if there is a configuration error when initializing the parser.
IOException Thrown on I/O error.
