xmlEventHandler {XML}

Default handlers for the SAX-style event XML parser

Description

This is a function that returns a closure instance containing the default handlers for use with xmlEventParse for parsing XML documents via the SAX-style parsing.

Usage

xmlEventHandler()

Details

These handlers simply build up the DOM tree and thus perform the same job as xmlTreeParse. It is here more as an example, reference and a base that users can extend.

Value

The return value is a list of functions which are used as callbacks by the internal XML parser when it encounters certain XML elements/structures. These include items such as the start of an element, end of an element, processing instruction, text node, comment, entity references and definitions, etc.

startElement

endElement

processingInstruction
