Struct ContentParser 

pub struct ContentParser { /* private fields */ }

High-level content stream parser.

Converts tokenized content streams into structured ContentOperation values. This parser handles the operand stack and operator parsing according to PDF specifications.

Usage

The parser is typically used through its static methods:

use oxidize_pdf::parser::content::ContentParser;

let content = b"q 1 0 0 1 50 50 cm 100 100 200 150 re S Q";
let operations = ContentParser::parse(content)?;

Implementations

impl ContentParser

pub fn new(_content: &[u8]) -> Self

Create a new content parser

pub fn parse(content: &[u8]) -> ParseResult<Vec<ContentOperation>>

Parse a content stream into a vector of operators.

This is a convenience method that creates a parser and processes the entire stream.

Arguments

• content - Raw content stream bytes (may be compressed)

Returns

A vector of parsed ContentOperation values in the order they appear.

Errors

Returns an error if:

• Invalid operator syntax is encountered
• Operators have incorrect number/type of operands
• Unknown operators are found

Example

use oxidize_pdf::parser::content::{ContentParser, ContentOperation};

let content = b"BT /F1 12 Tf 100 200 Td (Hello) Tj ET";
let operations = ContentParser::parse(content)?;

assert_eq!(operations.len(), 5);
assert!(matches!(operations[0], ContentOperation::BeginText));

pub fn parse_strict(content: &[u8]) -> ParseResult<Vec<ContentOperation>>

Parse a content stream without best-effort recovery.

Unlike Self::parse, malformed or unknown operators are returned to the caller. This is intended for self-contained programs such as Type 3 character procedures, where silently dropping an operation could alter the rendered glyph.

pub fn parse_content(content: &[u8]) -> ParseResult<Vec<ContentOperation>>

Parse a content stream into a vector of operators.

This method tokenizes the input and converts it to operations. It handles the PDF postfix notation where operands precede operators.
