Struct Element 

pub struct Element<'a> { /* private fields */ }

One element, as it was found.

Implementations

impl<'a> Element<'a>

pub fn tag(self) -> Tag

What kind of element this is.

pub fn contents(self) -> &'a [u8]

The contents, borrowed from the document.

For an indefinite-length element this is everything up to but not including the end-of-contents marker.

pub fn as_bytes(self) -> &'a [u8]

The whole element as it arrived, header included.

What a signature is computed over wherever a schema says the signature covers an element as encoded, and what identity is compared on wherever a schema says two structures are the same one when their bytes are. Handing these back rather than re-encoding what was understood is the difference between checking a signature over the document somebody was sent and checking it over this parser’s opinion of that document.

pub fn contents_span(self) -> Span

Where the contents sit in the document.

pub fn span(self) -> Span

Where the whole element sits, header included.

This is the range a signature is computed over wherever a schema says the signature covers an element as encoded.

pub fn is_indefinite(self) -> bool

Whether the length was written in the indefinite form.

pub fn index(self) -> u32

Its position among the elements of the container it was read from.
