Text.XML.Generator

Contents

Description

This module provides combinators for generating XML documents.

As an example, suppose you want to generate the following XML document:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<people>
  <person age="32">Stefan</person>
  <person age="4">Judith</person>
</people>

Then you could use the following Haskell code:

let people = [("Stefan", "32"), ("Judith", "4")]
in doc defaultDocInfo $
     xelem "people" $
       xelems $ map ((name, age) -> xelem "person" (xattr "age" age <#> xtext name)) people

Synopsis

General

data Xml t Source #

The type Xml t represent a piece of XML of type t, where t is usually one of Elem, Attr, or Doc.

Documents

data Doc Source #

A piece of XML at the document level.

data DocInfo Source #

The DocInfo type contains all information of an XML document except the root element.

Constructors

DocInfo 

Fields

doc :: DocInfo -> Xml Elem -> Xml Doc Source #

Constructs an XML document from a DocInfo value and the root element.

defaultDocInfo :: DocInfo Source #

The default document info (standalone, without document type, without content before/after the root element).

Namespaces

data Namespace Source #

Type for representing presence or absence of an XML namespace.

type Prefix = Text Source #

Namespace prefix.

type Uri = Text Source #

Namespace URI.

type Name = Text Source #

A type for names

namespace :: Prefix -> Uri -> Namespace Source #

Constructs a qualified XML namespace. The given URI must not be the empty string.

noNamespace :: Namespace Source #

A Namespace value denoting the absence of any XML namespace information.

defaultNamespace :: Namespace Source #

A Namespace value denoting the default namespace.

  • For elements, this is the namespace currently mapped to the empty prefix.
  • For attributes, the default namespace does not carry any namespace information.

Elements

data Elem Source #

A piece of XML at the element level.

xelem :: AddChildren c => Name -> c -> Xml Elem Source #

Construct a simple-named element with the given children.

xelemQ :: AddChildren c => Namespace -> Name -> c -> Xml Elem Source #

Construct an element with the given children.

xelemEmpty :: Name -> Xml Elem Source #

Construct a simple-named element without any children.

xelemQEmpty :: Namespace -> Name -> Xml Elem Source #

Construct an element without any children.

class AddChildren c Source #

Class for adding children to an element.

The various instances of this class allow the addition of different kinds of children.

addChildren :: (Xml Attr, Xml Elem) -> NsEnv -> Builder

xelems :: [Xml Elem] -> Xml Elem Source #

Merges a list of elements into a single piece of XML at the element level.

noElems :: Xml Elem Source #

No elements at all.

xelemWithText :: Name -> TextContent -> Xml Elem Source #

The expression xelemWithText n t constructs an XML element with name n and text content t.

(<>) :: Semigroup a => a -> a -> a infixr 6 #

An associative operation.

(a <> b) <> c = a <> (b <> c)

If a is also a Monoid we further require

(<>) = mappend

(<#>) :: a -> b -> (a, b) infixl 5 Source #

Shortcut for constructing pairs. Used in combination with xelem for separating child-attributes from child-elements.

Attributes

data Attr Source #

A piece of XML at the attribute level.

xattr :: Name -> TextContent -> Xml Attr Source #

Construct a simple-named attribute by escaping its value.

xattrQ :: Namespace -> Name -> TextContent -> Xml Attr Source #

Construct an attribute by escaping its value.

xattrQRaw :: Namespace -> Name -> Builder -> Xml Attr Source #

Construct an attribute without escaping its value. Note: attribute values are quoted with double quotes.

xattrs :: [Xml Attr] -> Xml Attr Source #

Merge a list of attributes into a single piece of XML at the attribute level.

noAttrs :: Xml Attr Source #

The empty attribute list.

Text

type TextContent = Text Source #

Text content subject to escaping.

xtext :: TextContent -> Xml Elem Source #

Constructs a text node by escaping the given argument.

xtextRaw :: Builder -> Xml Elem Source #

Constructs a text node without escaping the given argument.

xentityRef :: Name -> Xml Elem Source #

Constructs a reference to the named entity. Note: no escaping is performed on the name of the entity

Other

xempty :: Renderable t => Xml t Source #

An empty, polymorphic piece of XML.

class Renderable t => Misc t where Source #

Class providing methods for adding processing instructions and comments.

Methods

xprocessingInstruction :: String -> String -> Xml t Source #

Constructs a processing instruction with the given target and content. Note: Rendering does not perform escaping on the target and the content.

xcomment :: String -> Xml t Source #

Constructs an XML comment. Note: No escaping is performed on the text of the comment.

Rendering

xrender :: (Renderable r, XmlOutput t) => Xml r -> t Source #

Renders a given piece of XML.

class XmlOutput t where Source #

Instances of the XmlOutput class may serve as target of serializing an XML document.
