# Parse a whole document

xmlParse :: String -> String -> Document Posn Source #

To parse a whole document, `xmlParse file content` takes a filename (for generating error reports) and the string content of that file. A parse error causes program failure, with message to stderr.

xmlParse' :: String -> String -> Either String (Document Posn) Source #

To parse a whole document, `xmlParse' file content` takes a filename (for generating error reports) and the string content of that file. Any parse error message is passed back to the caller through the `Either` type.

# Parse just a DTD

dtdParse :: String -> String -> Maybe DocTypeDecl Source #

To parse just a DTD, `dtdParse file content` takes a filename (for generating error reports) and the string content of that file. If no DTD was found, you get `Nothing` rather than an error. However, if a DTD is found but contains errors, the program crashes.

dtdParse' :: String -> String -> Either String (Maybe DocTypeDecl) Source #

To parse just a DTD, `dtdParse' file content` takes a filename (for generating error reports) and the string content of that file. If no DTD was found, you get `Right Nothing`. If a DTD was found but contains errors, you get a `Left message`.

# Parse a partial document

xmlParseWith :: XParser a -> [(Posn, TokenT)] -> (Either String a, [(Posn, TokenT)]) Source #

To parse a partial document, e.g. from an XML-based stream protocol, where you may later want to get more document elements from the same stream. Arguments are: a parser for the item you want, and the already-lexed input to parse from. Returns the item you wanted (or an error message), plus the remainder of the input.

# Individual parsers for use with xmlParseWith and module SAX

document :: XParser (Document Posn) Source #

Return an entire XML document including prolog and trailing junk.

element :: XParser (Element Posn) Source #

Return a complete element including all its inner content.

content :: XParser (Content Posn) Source #

Return a content particle, e.g. text, element, reference, etc

comment :: XParser Comment Source #

Return an XML comment.

cdsect :: XParser CDSect Source #

chardata :: XParser CharData Source #

Return parsed freetext (i.e. until the next markup)

reference :: XParser Reference Source #

Return either a general entity reference, or a character reference.

doctypedecl :: XParser DocTypeDecl Source #

Return a DOCTYPE decl, indicating a DTD.

processinginstruction :: XParser ProcessingInstruction Source #

Parse a processing instruction.

elemtag :: XParser ElemTag Source #

Parse only the parts between angle brackets in an element tag.

qname :: XParser QName Source #

Return a qualified name (although the namespace qualification is not processed here; this is merely to get the correct type).

name :: XParser Name Source #

Return just a name, e.g. element name, attribute name.

tok :: TokenT -> XParser TokenT Source #

Return the next token from the input only if it matches the given token.

elemOpenTag :: XParser ElemTag Source #

For use with stream parsers - returns the complete opening element tag.

elemCloseTag :: QName -> XParser () Source #

For use with stream parsers - accepts a closing tag, provided it matches the given element name.

emptySTs :: SymTabs Source #

Some empty symbol tables for GE and PE references.

type XParser a = Parser SymTabs (Posn, TokenT) a Source #

XParser is just a specialisation of the PolyState parser.

# These general utility functions don't belong here

fst3 :: (a, b, c) -> a Source #

snd3 :: (a, b, c) -> b Source #

thd3 :: (a, b, c) -> c Source #
