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. S won’t just return S
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
The
BufferQueue struct and helper types.Data that is known at compile-time and hard-coded into the binary.
Driver
Types for tag and attribute names, and tree-builder functionality.
A simple reference-counted DOM.
Serializer for XML5.
This module contains a single struct
SmallCharSet. See its documentation for details.XML5 tokenizer - converts input into tokens
XML5 tree builder - converts tokens into a tree like structure
Macros
Helper to quickly create an expanded name.
Takes a local name as a string and returns its key in the string cache.
Takes a namespace prefix string and returns its key in a string cache.
Takes a namespace url string and returns its key in a string cache.
Maps the input of
namespace_prefix! to the output of namespace_url!.Create a
SmallCharSet, with each space-separated number stored in the set.Structs
A tag attribute, e.g.
class="test" in <div class="test" ...>.An expanded name, containing the tag and the namespace.
A fully qualified name (with a namespace), used to depict names of tags and attributes.
Represents a set of “small characters”, those with Unicode scalar
values less than 64.
