Input Method

Provides input to the parser.

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Sub Input(ByVal Text As String)

[C#]
public void Input(string text);

Remarks

This method provides input to the parser. The parser gets the text input via the Text parameter. The Text is sent to the parser's state machine and appropriate events are fired as a result of the parsing process.

The events are fired only when qualifying conditions (such as, the beginning of a new element) are met. In the meantime, text may be buffered internally. When the parser is finally reset via the Reset method, all buffered text is flushed out through the Characters event.

Example (Parse a JSON File)

JSONControl.Input("jsondata")

NOTE: This method has a corresponding asynchronous version (InputAsync) for use in the Xamarin environment.
