NAME

XML::SAX::Expat - SAX2 Driver for Expat (XML::Parser)

SYNOPSIS

use XML::SAX::Expat;
use XML::SAX::MyFooHandler;
my $h = XML::SAX::MyFooHandler->new;
my $p = XML::SAX::Expat->new(Handler => $h);
$p->parse_file('/path/to/foo.xml');

DESCRIPTION

This is an implementation of a SAX2 driver sitting on top of Expat (XML::Parser) which Ken MacLeod posted to perl-xml and which I have updated.

It is still incomplete, though most of the basic SAX2 events should be available. The SAX2 spec is currently available from http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/~checkout~/perl-xml/libxml-perl/doc/sax-2.0.html?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/html

A more friendly URL as well as a PODification of the spec are in the works.

METHODS

The methods defined in this class correspond to those listed in the PerlSAX2 specification, available above. Apart from the bits that are presently missing, everything is implemented down to the letter.

TODO

- reuse Ken's tests and add more
- implement the entire spec
