Crate xml5ever

Expand description

This crate provides a push based XML parser library that adheres to XML5 specification. In other words this library trades well-formedness for error recovery.

The idea behind this, was to minimize number of errors from tools that generate XML (e.g. &#83 won’t just return &#83 as text, but will parse it into S ). You can check out full specification here.

What this library provides is a solid XML parser that can:

Parse somewhat erroneous XML input
Provide support for Numeric character references.
Provide partial XML namespace support.
Provide full set of SVG/MathML entities

What isn’t in scope for this library:

Document Type Definition parsing - this is pretty hard to do right and nowadays, its used

Modules§

buffer_queue: The BufferQueue struct and helper types.
data
driver: Driver
interface: Types for tag and attribute names, and tree-builder functionality.
serialize: Serializer for XML5.
smallcharset: This module contains a single struct SmallCharSet. See its documentation for details.
tendril
tokenizer: XML5 tokenizer - converts input into tokens
tree_builder: XML5 tree builder - converts tokens into a tree like structure

Macros§

expanded_name: Helper to quickly create an expanded name.
local_name: Takes a local name as a string and returns its key in the string cache.
namespace_prefix: Takes a namespace prefix string and returns its key in a string cache.
namespace_url: Takes a namespace url string and returns its key in a string cache.
ns: Maps the input of namespace_prefix! to the output of namespace_url!.
small_char_set: Create a SmallCharSet, with each space-separated number stored in the set.

Structs§

Attribute: A tag attribute, e.g. class="test" in <div class="test" ...>.
ExpandedName: An expanded name, containing the tag and the namespace.
LocalNameStaticSet
NamespaceStaticSet
PrefixStaticSet
