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 complement 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

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.****

NewLine - Specifies the new line character to be used for printing XML data (if any).
          Defaults to '\n' but can be changed.  If you don't want to indent use empty 
          quotes.  Ex. (NewLine => "")
          
IndentChar - Specifies the indentation character to be used for printing XML data (if any).
             Defaults to '\t' but can be changed.  Ex. (IndentChar => "\t\t")
             
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 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.
