XML Class

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The XML class can be used to both parse and create XML documents.

Syntax

ipworks.xml()

Remarks

The XML class can operate as either a parser or writer of XML.

Parsing XML

The XML class parses XML documents and verifies that they are well formed. The results are provided through a set of events complying with the SAX2 specification.

In addition, the document structure may be queried through an XPath mechanism that supports a subset of the XPath specification.

The parser is optimized for read applications, with a very fast engine that builds internal Document Object Model (DOM) structures with close to zero heap allocations. Additionally, BuildDOM can be set to False, which reduces the overhead of creating the DOM and offers a fast forward-only parsing implementation that fires events to provide the parsed data.

When parsing a document, events will fire to provide information about the parsed data. After Parse returns, the document may be navigated by setting XPath if BuildDOM is True (default). If BuildDOM is False, parsed data are accessible only through the events.

Events are fired only when qualifying conditions (e.g., the beginning of a new element) are met. In the meantime, text will be buffered internally. The following events will fire during parsing:

• Characters
• Comment
• EndElement
• EndPrefixMapping
• EvalEntity
• IgnorableWhitespace
• Meta
• PI
• SpecialSection
• StartElement
• StartPrefixMapping

If BuildDOM is True (default), XPath may be set after this method returns. XPath implements a subset of the XML XPath specification, allowing you to point to specific elements in the XML documents.

The path is a series of one or more element accessors separated by '/'. The path can be absolute (starting with '/') or relative to the current XPath location.

The following are possible values for an element accessor:

BuildDOM must be set to True before parsing the document for the XPath functionality to be available.

Example. Setting XPath:

Input Properties

The class will determine the source of the input based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

• InputFile
• InputData

If parsing multiple documents, call Reset between documents to reset the parser.

An additional "relaxed" mode allows for lexical parsing of non-XML documents (e.g., HTML). This is enabled by setting Validate to False. In this case, events will be fired as elements, entities, and so on are encountered, but the structure of the document will not be checked for "well-formedness", and the internal DOM structure will not be built.

Writing XML

To use the class, first decide whether or not to write to file, or to OutputData.

Output Properties

The class will determine the destination of the output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

• OutputFile
• OutputData: The output data are written to this property if no other destination is specified.

To begin writing the XML document, first optionally set XMLDeclaration. If this is not set, the class will use a default XML declaration at the beginning of the document.

Next, begin adding elements to your document. Calling StartElement will open an element with the specified name. To create a nested structure, continue calling StartElement to open more child elements. To write a value within an element, call PutString. To close the element that was last opened, call EndElement. Each time EndElement is called, the element at the current level is closed. Alternatively, calling PutElement will write the element specified with the value specified and will also close the element.

To write an attribute of the current element, after calling StartElement call PutAttr. Call PutAttr multiple times to add multiple attributes.

Writing comments or CDATA can be done at any time with the PutComment and PutCData methods.

To close your XML document, call Save. You can call Save from any location, and it will close any remaining open elements automatically.

XML.config Method

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

async xml.config(configurationString : string): Promise<string>

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

XML.endElement Method

This method writes the closing tag of an open XML element.

Syntax

async xml.endElement(): Promise<void>

Remarks

This method writes the closing tag of the XML element most recently opened using StartElement.

If no elements are opened, the call

XML.flush Method

This method flushes the parser and checks its end state.

Syntax

async xml.flush(): Promise<void>

Remarks

When Flush is called, the parser flushes all its buffers, firing events as necessary, and then checks its end state. If Validate is True, the parser verifies that all open elements were closed, returning an error if not.

XML.getAttr Method

This method returns the value of the specified attribute.

Syntax

async xml.getAttr(attrName : string): Promise<string>

Remarks

This method returns the value of the attribute specified by the AttrName parameter.

If the attribute does not exist, an empty string is returned. The behavior when an attribute does not exit is controlled by ErrorOnEmptyAttr.

Please refer to the XAttributesName, XAttributesNamespace, XAttributesPrefix, and XAttributesValue properties for more information.

XML.hasXPath Method

This method determines whether a specific element exists in the document.

Syntax

async xml.hasXPath(XPath : string): Promise<boolean>

Remarks

This method determines whether a particular XPath exists within the document. This may be used to check if a path exists before setting it through XPath.

This method returns True if the xpath exists, and False if not.

See XPath for details on the XPath syntax.

XML.loadDOM Method

This method loads the document object model (DOM) from a file.

Syntax

async xml.loadDOM(fileName : string): Promise<void>

Remarks

The LoadDOM method loads a DOM structure previously saved by SaveDOM from the file specified in FileName.

Please refer to the SaveDOM method for more information.

XML.loadSchema Method

This method loads the XML schema.

Syntax

async xml.loadSchema(schema : string): Promise<void>

Remarks

This functionality is not yet implemented.

This method loads the schema specified in the Schema parameter. The Schema may be specified as either a string or the path to a file on disk.

The class will validate the input data during parsing to verify whether or not it adheres to the schema.

XML.parse Method

This method parses the specified XML data.

Syntax

async xml.parse(): Promise<void>

Remarks

This method parses the specified XML data.

When parsing a document, events will fire to provide information about the parsed data. After Parse returns, the document may be navigated by setting XPath if BuildDOM is True (default). If BuildDOM is False, parsed data are accessible only through the events.

Events are fired only when qualifying conditions (e.g., the beginning of a new element) are met. In the meantime, text will be buffered internally. The following events will fire during parsing:

• Characters
• Comment
• EndElement
• EndPrefixMapping
• EvalEntity
• IgnorableWhitespace
• Meta
• PI
• SpecialSection
• StartElement
• StartPrefixMapping

If BuildDOM is True (default), XPath may be set after this method returns. XPath implements a subset of the XML XPath specification, allowing you to point to specific elements in the XML documents.

The path is a series of one or more element accessors separated by '/'. The path can be absolute (starting with '/') or relative to the current XPath location.

The following are possible values for an element accessor:

BuildDOM must be set to True before parsing the document for the XPath functionality to be available.

Example. Setting XPath:

Input Properties

The class will determine the source of the input based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

• InputFile
• InputData

If parsing multiple documents, call Reset between documents to reset the parser.

XML.putAttr Method

This method writes an XML attribute.

Syntax

async xml.putAttr(name : string, namespaceURI : string, value : string): Promise<void>

Remarks

This method writes an XML attribute on the currently opened XML element. It must be called right after calling StartElement and before any calls to PutString, PutComment, or PutRaw.

If Name is a local name without a prefix, the class will automatically introduce a new xmlns="NamespaceURI" attribute, if necessary.

If Name is in the form prefix:local, then class will automatically introduce a new xmlns:prefix="NamespaceURI" as necessary.

Certain attribute names will be handled in special ways by this method. If Name is "xmlns" or uses the "xmlns" prefix, the attribute will be interpreted as a namespace declaration, regardless of the value of NamespaceURI. Similarly, any attribute using the "xml" prefix will be interpreted as a special attribute (like "xml:lang") and NamespaceURI will be ignored.

XML.putCData Method

This method writes an XML CDATA block.

Syntax

async xml.putCData(text : string): Promise<void>

Remarks

This methods writes a new XML CDATA block with the specified text inside the current element.

XML.putComment Method

This method writes an XML comment block.

Syntax

async xml.putComment(text : string): Promise<void>

Remarks

This method writes a new XML comment block with the specified text.

XML.putElement Method

This method writes a simple XML element with a value.

Syntax

async xml.putElement(name : string, namespaceURI : string, value : string): Promise<void>

Remarks

This method writes a simple XML element with no attributes and the specified value between the opening and closing tags.

If Name is a local name without a prefix, the class will automatically introduce a new xmlns="NamespaceURI" attribute, if necessary.

If Name is in the form prefix:local, then class will automatically introduce a new xmlns:prefix="NamespaceURI" as necessary.

When calling PutElement or StartElement, if a NamespaceURI is not specified, an empty namespace will be defined for the element. If a namespace should be associated with the element, a NamespaceURI value must be provided. When creating the XML, the class will determine if the namespace already exists to avoid duplicate definitions of the same namespace. For example, to create this XML:

<book xmlns='urn:loc.gov:books'
      xmlns:isbn='urn:ISBN:0-395-36341-6'>
    <title>Cheaper by the Dozen</title>
    <isbn:number>1568491379</isbn:number>
</book>

XML.putRaw Method

This method writes a raw XML fragment.

Syntax

async xml.putRaw(text : string): Promise<void>

Remarks

This method writes a raw XML fragment to the output, without escaping and without verification. If an XML element opening tag has been written before the raw fragment, the fragment will be written as a child of the current element.

Use of this method should be carefully considered as it can easily lead to malformed XML content.

XML.putString Method

This method writes text inside an XML element.

Syntax

async xml.putString(text : string): Promise<void>

Remarks

This method will XML escape the value provided and write the resulting escaped text between the opening and closing tags of an XML element.

XML.removeAttr Method

This method removes an attribute.

Syntax

async xml.removeAttr(attrName : string): Promise<void>

Remarks

This method removes an attribute at the specified XPath

This functionality is not yet implemented.

XML.removeChildren Method

This method removes the children of the element as the specified XPath.

Syntax

async xml.removeChildren(): Promise<void>

Remarks

This method removes the children of the element specified by XPath.

When called, the class will remove the children of the element from the internal representation of the XML (the DOM). The element itself remains, with no children. This may be used at any time after Parse returns, or from within the EndElement event as a document is parsed to remove sections of a document that will not be needed later. By removing unnecessary elements from the DOM, memory consumption is reduced and overall performance is improved.

Example. RemoveChildren:

Given the XML

<food>
	<fruits>
		<apple>
			<color>red</color>
		</apple>
		<banana>
			<color>yellow</color>
		</banana>
	</fruits>
</food>

This code removes the children of the apple element while leaving the apple element in place.

xml.XPath = "/food/fruits/apple"; xml.RemoveChildren();

The XML stored in the DOM is now:

<food>
	<fruits>
		<apple>
		</apple>
		<banana>
			<color>yellow</color>
		</banana>
	</fruits>
</food>

XML.removeElement Method

This method removes the element as the specified XPath.

Syntax

async xml.removeElement(): Promise<void>

Remarks

This method removes the element specified by XPath.

When called, the class will remove the element and its children from the internal representation of the XML (the DOM). This may be used at any time after Parse returns, or from within the EndElement event as a document is parsed to remove sections of a document that will not be needed later. By removing unnecessary elements from the DOM, memory consumption is reduced and overall performance is improved.

Example. RemoveElement:

Given the XML

<food>
	<fruits>
		<apple>
			<color>red</color>
		</apple>
		<banana>
			<color>yellow</color>
		</banana>
	</fruits>
</food>

This code removes the apple element and its children.

xml.XPath = "/food/fruits/apple"; xml.RemoveElement();

The XML stored in the DOM is now:

<food>
	<fruits>
		<banana>
			<color>yellow</color>
		</banana>
	</fruits>
</food>

XML.reset Method

This method resets the parser.

Syntax

async xml.reset(): Promise<void>

Remarks

When called, the parser flushes all its buffers, firing events as necessary, and then initializes itself to its default state.

Reset must also be used as signal to the parser that the current stream of text has terminated.

XML.save Method

This method closes the class writing stream.

Syntax

async xml.save(): Promise<void>

Remarks

This method will close any open XML elements, and then close the OutputFile if necessary.

XML.saveDOM Method

This method saves the DOM to a file.

Syntax

async xml.saveDOM(fileName : string): Promise<void>

Remarks

The SaveDOM method saves the current DOM structure to the file specified in FileName. This enables the component to later load the DOM without incurring any parsing overhead.

Please refer to the LoadDOM method for more information.

XML.startElement Method

This method writes the opening tag of an XML element.

Syntax

async xml.startElement(name : string, namespaceURI : string): Promise<void>

Remarks

This method writes the opening tag of a new XML element. If an XML element is already opened, then this element is written as a child.

If Name is a local name without a prefix, the class will automatically introduce a new xmlns="NamespaceURI" attribute, if necessary.

If Name is in the form prefix:local, then class will automatically introduce a new xmlns:prefix="NamespaceURI" as necessary.

When calling PutElement or StartElement, if a NamespaceURI is not specified, an empty namespace will be defined for the element. If a namespace should be associated with the element, a NamespaceURI value must be provided. When creating the XML, the class will determine if the namespace already exists to avoid duplicate definitions of the same namespace. For example, to create this XML:

<book xmlns='urn:loc.gov:books'
      xmlns:isbn='urn:ISBN:0-395-36341-6'>
    <title>Cheaper by the Dozen</title>
    <isbn:number>1568491379</isbn:number>
</book>

XML.tryXPath Method

This method navigates to the specified XPath if it exists.

Syntax

async xml.tryXPath(xpath : string): Promise<boolean>

Remarks

This method will attempt to navigate to the specified XPath parameter if it exists within the document.

If the XPath exists, the XPath property will be updated and this method returns True.

If the XPath does not exist, the XPath property is not updated and this method returns False.
