NAME

            

              
              
XML::SAXDriver::CSV - SAXDriver for converting CSV files to XML
            
          

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use XML::SAXDriver::CSV;
my $driver = XML::SAXDriver::CSV->new(%attr);
$driver->parse(%attr);
            
          

DESCRIPTION

            

              
              
XML::SAXDriver::CSV was developed as a compliment to XML::CSV, though it provides a SAX
interface, for gained performance and efficiency, to CSV files.  Specific object attributes
and handlers are set to define the behavior of the parse() method.  It does not matter where 
you define your attributes.  If they are defined in the new() method, they will apply to all
parse() calls.  You can override in any call to parse() and it will remain local to that
function call and not effect the rest of the object.
            
          

XML::SAXDriver::CSV properties

            

              
              
Source - (Reference to a String, ByteStream, SystemId)
    String - Contains literal CSV data. Ex (Source => {String => $foo})
     
    ByteStream - Contains a filehandle reference.  Ex. (Source => {ByteStream => \*STDIN})
     
    SystemId - Contains the path to the file containing the CSV data. Ex (Source => {SystemId => '../csv/foo.csv'})
     
Handler - Contains the object to be used as a XML print handler
Declaration
     
    Version - Specifies an XML version for declaration.  Defaults to '1.0'.
     
    Encoding - Specifies the endcoding in XML declaration.  Omitted by default.
     
    Standalone - Specifies the standalone attribute.  Omitted by default.  
DTDHandler - Contains the object to be used as a XML DTD handler.  
             ****There is no DTD support available at this time.  
             I'll make it available in the next version.****
SubChar - Specifies the character(s) to use to substitute illegal chars in xml tag names, that
          will be generated from the first row, but setting the Dynamic_Col_Headings.
              
Col_Headings - Reference to the array of column names to be used for XML tag names.
Dynamic_Col_Headings - Should be set if you want the XML tag names generated dynamically
                       from the first row in CSV file.  **Make sure that the number of columns
                       in your first row is equal to the largest row in the document.  You
                       don't generally have to worry about if you are submitting valid CSV
                       data, where each row will have the same number of columns, even if
                       they are empty.
                        
Headings_Handler - Should be used along with Dynamic_Col_Headings to provide a heading 
                     normalization handler, to conform the headings to the XML 1.0 
                     specifications.  If not provided, a default will be used that only
                     works with ASCII chars, therefore any other character sets need to 
                     provide a custom handler!  The handler sub will be passed the heading
                     string as the first argument.
