Parses a byte stream into Events. This function is implemented fully in Haskell using attoparsec-text for parsing. The produced error messages do not give line/column information, so you may prefer to stick with the parser provided by libxml-enumerator. However, this has the advantage of not relying on any C libraries.

This relies on detectUtf to determine character encoding, and parseText' to do the actual parsing.

Since 1.2.4

Same as parseText', but includes the position of each event.

Since 1.2.4

Automatically determine which UTF variant is being used. This function first checks for BOMs, removing them as necessary, and then check for the equivalent of <?xml for each of UTF-8, UTF-16LEBE, and UTF-32LEBE. It defaults to assuming UTF-8.

A helper function which reads a file from disk using enumFile, detects character encoding using detectUtf, parses the XML using parseBytes, and then hands off control to your supplied parser.

Parse an event stream from a lazy ByteString.

The default value for this type.

How to decode illegal character references (&#[0-9]+; or &#x[0-9a-fA-F]+;).

Character references within the legal ranges defined by the standard are automatically parsed. Others are passed to this function.

Default: const Nothing

Since 1.7.1

Whether the original xmlns attributes should be retained in the parsed values. For more information on motivation, see:

https://github.com/snoyberg/xml/issues/38

Default: False

Since 1.2.1

Default implementation of DecodeEntities, which leaves the entity as-is. Numeric character references and the five standard entities (lt, gt, amp, quot, pos) are handled internally by the parser.

HTML4-compliant entity decoder. Handles the additional 248 entities defined by HTML 4 and XHTML 1.

Note that HTML 5 introduces a drastically larger number of entities, and this code does not recognize most of them.

The most generic way to parse a tag. It takes a NameMatcher to check whether this is a correct tag name, an AttrParser to handle attributes, and then a parser to deal with content.

Events are consumed if and only if the tag name and its attributes match.

This function automatically absorbs its balancing closing tag, and will throw an exception if not all of the attributes or child elements are consumed. If you want to allow extra attributes, see ignoreAttrs.

This function automatically ignores comments, instructions and whitespace.

A simplified version of tag where the NameMatcher result isn't forwarded to the attributes parser.

Since 1.5.0

A further simplified tag parser, which requires that no attributes exist.

A further simplified tag parser, which ignores all attributes, if any exist

Grabs the next piece of content. If none if available, returns empty. This is simply a wrapper around contentMaybe.

Grabs the next piece of content if available. This function skips over any comments and instructions and concatenates all content until the next start or end tag.

Ignore an empty tag and all of its attributes. This does not ignore the tag recursively (i.e. it assumes there are no child elements). This function returns Just () if the tag matched.

Since 1.5.0

Ignore a tag, its attributes and its children subtrees recursively. Both content and text events are ignored. This function returns Just () if the tag matched.

Since 1.5.0

Like ignoreTreeContent, but matches any name and also ignores content events.

Stream a content Event. If next event isn't a content, nothing is consumed.

Returns Just () if a content Event was consumed, Nothing otherwise.

Since 1.5.0

Stream Events corresponding to a single element that matches given NameMatcher and AttrParser, from the opening- to the closing-tag.

If next Event isn't an element, nothing is consumed.

If an opening-tag is consumed but no matching closing-tag is found, an XmlException is thrown.

This function automatically ignores comments, instructions and whitespace.

Returns Just () if an element was consumed, Nothing otherwise.

Since 1.5.0

Like takeTree, but can also stream a content Event.

Since 1.5.0

Like takeTreeContent, without checking for tag name or attributes.

>>> runResourceT $ parseLBS def "text<a></a>" $$ takeAnyTreeContent =$= consume
Just [ EventContent (ContentText "text") ]

>>> runResourceT $ parseLBS def "</a><b></b>" $$ takeAnyTreeContent =$= consume
Just [ ]

>>> runResourceT $ parseLBS def "<b><c></c></b></a>text" $$ takeAnyTreeContent =$= consume
Just [ EventBeginElement "b" [], EventBeginElement "c" [], EventEndElement "c", EventEndElement "b" ]

Since 1.5.0

A NameMatcher describes which names a tag parser is allowed to match.

Since 1.5.0

matching f matches name iff f name is true. Returns the matched Name.

Since 1.5.0

Matches any Name from the given list. Returns the matched Name.

Since 1.5.0

Matches any Name. Returns the matched Name.

Since 1.5.0

A monad for parsing attributes. By default, it requires you to deal with all attributes present on an element, and will throw an exception if there are unhandled attributes. Use the requireAttr, attr et al functions for handling an attribute, and ignoreAttrs if you would like to skip the rest of the attributes on an element.

Alternative instance behaves like First monoid: it chooses first parser which doesn't fail.

Return the value for an attribute if present.

Shortcut composition of force and attr.

Skip the remaining attributes on an element. Since this will clear the list of attributes, you must call this after any calls to requireAttr, optionalAttr, etc.

Get the value of the first parser which returns Just. If no parsers succeed (i.e., return Just), this function returns Nothing.

orE a b = choose [a, b]

Get the value of the first parser which returns Just. If no parsers succeed (i.e., return Just), this function returns Nothing.

Keep parsing elements as long as the parser returns Just.

Like many but discards the results without building an intermediate list.

Since 1.5.0

Keep parsing elements as long as the parser returns Just or the ignore parser returns Just.

Like many, but any tags and content the consumer doesn't match on are silently ignored.

Force an optional parser into a required parser. All of the tag functions, attr, choose and many deal with Maybe parsers. Use this when you want to finally force something to happen.

Like many, but uses yield so the result list can be streamed to downstream conduits without waiting for manyYield to finish

Like many', but uses yield so the result list can be streamed to downstream conduits without waiting for manyYield' to finish

Like manyIgnore, but uses yield so the result list can be streamed to downstream conduits without waiting for manyIgnoreYield to finish
