<a name="parser"/>
|
|
<h3>Parsing and Validating</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
CXML is implemented as a SAX parser. (Refer to <a
|
|
href="dom.html#parser">make-dom-builder</a> for information about
|
|
DOM.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<div class="def">Function CXML:PARSE-FILE (pathname handler &key ...)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function CXML:PARSE-STREAM (stream handler &key ...)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function CXML:PARSE-OCTETS (octets handler &key ...)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function CXML:PARSE-ROD (rod handler &key ...)</div>
|
|
Parse an XML document.
|
|
Return values from this function depend on the SAX handler used.<br/>
|
|
Arguments:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><tt>pathname</tt> -- a Common Lisp pathname</li>
|
|
<li><tt>stream</tt> -- a Common Lisp stream with element-type
|
|
<tt>(unsigned-byte 8)</tt></li>
|
|
<li><tt>octets</tt> -- an <tt>(unsigned-byte 8)</tt> array</li>
|
|
<li><tt>handler</tt> -- a SAX handler</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Common keyword arguments:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<tt>validate</tt> -- A boolean. Defaults to
|
|
<tt>nil</tt>. If true, parse in validating mode, i.e. assert that
|
|
the document contains a DOCTYPE declaration and conforms to the
|
|
DTD declared.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<tt>dtd</tt> -- unless <tt>nil</tt>, an extid instance
|
|
specifying the external subset to load. This options overrides
|
|
the extid specified in the document type declaration, if any.
|
|
See below for <tt>make-extid</tt>. This option is useful
|
|
for verification purposes together with the <tt>root</tt>
|
|
and <tt>disallow-internal-subset</tt> arguments.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><tt>root</tt> -- the expected root element
|
|
name, or <tt>nil</tt> (the default).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<tt>entity-resolver</tt> -- <tt>nil</tt> or a function of two
|
|
arguments which is invoked for every entity referenced by the
|
|
document with the entity's Public ID (a rod) and System ID (an
|
|
URI object) as arguments. The function may either return
|
|
nil, CXML will then try to resolve the entity as usual.
|
|
Alternatively it may return a Common Lisp stream specialized on
|
|
<tt>(unsigned-byte 8)</tt> which will be used instead. (It may
|
|
also signal an error, of course, which can be useful to prohibit
|
|
parsed XML documents from including arbitrary files readable by
|
|
the parser.)
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<tt>disallow-internal-subset</tt> -- a boolean. If true, signal
|
|
an error if the document contains an internal subset.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<tt>recode</tt> -- a boolean. (Ignored on Lisps with Unicode
|
|
support.) Recode rods to UTF-8 strings. Defaults to true.
|
|
Make sure to use <tt>utf8-dom:make-dom-builder</tt> if this
|
|
option is enabled and <tt>rune-dom:make-dom-builder</tt>
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note: <tt>parse-rod</tt> assumes that the input has already been
|
|
decoded into Unicode runes and ignores the encoding
|
|
specified in the XML declaration, if any.

<div class="def">Condition class CXML:WELL-FORMEDNESS-VIOLATION (cxml:xml-parse-error)</div>
|
|
This condition is signalled for all well-formedness violations.
|
|
(Note that, when parsing document that is not well-formed in validating
|
|
mode, the parser might encounter validity errors before detecting
|
|
well-formedness problems, so also be prepared for <tt>validity-error</tt>
|

in that situation.)

<h3>Serialization</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Serialization is performed using <tt>sink</tt> objects. A sink
|
|
is an output stream for runes. There are different kinds of sinks
|
|
for output to lisp streams, vectors, etc.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Technically, sinks are SAX handlers that write XML output for SAX
|
|
events sent to them. In practise, user code would normally not
|
|
generate those SAX events manually, and instead use a function
|
|
like <a href="dom.html#serialization">dom:map-document</a> or <a
|
|
href="xmls-compat.html">xmls-compat:map-node</a> to serialize an
|
|
in-memory document.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In addition to <tt>map-document</tt>, cxml has a set of
|
|
convenience macros for serialization (see below for
|
|
<tt>with-xml-output</tt>, <tt>with-element</tt>, etc).
|

<p>
|

Return a SAX serialization handle.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The <tt>-octet-</tt> functions write the document encoded into
|
|
UTF-8.
|
|
<tt>make-octet-stream-sink</tt> works with Lisp streams of
|
|
element-type <tt>(unsigned-byte 8)</tt>.
|
|
<tt>make-octet-vector-sink</tt> returns a vector of
|
|
<tt>(unsigned-byte 8)</tt>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<tt>make-character-stream-sink</tt> works with character
|
|
streams. It serializes the document into characters <em>without
|
|
encoding it into an external format</em>. When using these
|
|
functions, <em>take care to avoid encoding the result into
|
|
an incorrect external format</em>. (Note that characters undergo
|
|
external format conversion when written to a character stream.
|
|
If the document's XML declaration specifies an encoding, make
|
|
sure to specify this encoding as the external format if and when
|
|
writing the serialized document to a character stream. If the
|
|
document does not specify an encoding, either UTF-8 or UTF-16
|
|
must be used.) This function is available only on Lisps with
|
|
unicode support.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<tt>make-rod-sink</tt> serializes the document into a vector of
|
|
runes <em>without encoding it into an external format</em>.
|
|
(On Lisp with unicode support, the result will be a string;
|
|
otherwise, a vector of character codes will be returned.)
|
|
The warnings given for <tt>make-character-stream-sink</tt>
|
|
apply to this function as well.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The <tt>/utf8</tt> functions write the document encoded into
|
|
characters representing a UTF-8 encoding.
|
|
When using these functions, <em>take care to avoid encoding the
|
|
result</em> into an external format for a second time. (Note
|
|
that characters undergo external format conversion when written
|
|
to a character stream. Since these functions already perform
|
|
external format conversion, make sure to specify an external
|
|
format that does "nothing" if and when writing the serialized document
|
|
to a character stream. ISO-8859-1 external formats usually
|
|
achieve the desired effect.)
|
|
<tt>make-character-stream-sink/utf8</tt> works with character streams.
|
|
<tt>make-string-sink/utf8</tt> returns a string.
|
|
These functions are available only on Lisps without unicode support.
|
|
</li>
|

</ul>
|
|
<p>Keyword arguments:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<tt>canonical</tt> -- canonical form, one of NIL, T, 1, 2
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<tt>indentation</tt> -- indentation level. An integer or <tt>nil</tt>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The following <tt>canonical</tt> values are allowed:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<tt>t</tt> or <tt>1</tt>: <a
|

</li>
|

<li>
|
|
<tt>NIL</tt>: Use a more readable non-canonical representation.

</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
An internal subset will be included in the result regardless of
|
|
the <tt>canonical</tt> setting. It is the responsibility of the
|
|
caller to not report an internal subset for
|
|
canonical <= 1, or only notations as required for
|
|
canonical = 2. For example, the
|
|
<tt>include-doctype</tt> argument to <tt>dom:map-document</tt>
|
|
should be set to <tt>nil</tt> for the former behaviour and
|
|
<tt>:canonical-notations</tt> for the latter.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
With an <tt>indentation</tt> level, pretty-print the XML by
|
|
inserting additional whitespace. Note that indentation
|
|
changes the document model and should only be used if whitespace
|
|
does not matter to the application.

<p>
|
|
<div class="def">Function CXML:MAKE-VALIDATOR (dtd root)</div>
|
|
Create a SAX handler which validates against a DTD instance.

Used with <tt>dom:map-document</tt>, this validates a document
|
|
object as if by re-reading it with a validating parser, except
|
|
that declarations recorded in the document instance are completely
|
|
ignored.<br/>
|
|
Example:
|
|
</p>

<div class="def">Accessor CXML:PROXY-CHAINED-HANDLER</div>
|
|
<tt>sax-proxy</tt> is a SAX handler which passes all events it
|
|
receives on to a user-defined second handler, which defaults
|
|
to <tt>nil</tt>. Use <tt>sax-proxy</tt> to modify the events a
|
|
SAX handler receives by defining your own subclass
|
|
of <tt>sax-proxy</tt>. Setting the chained handler to the target

<h3>Recoders</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Recoders are a mechanism used by CXML internally on Lisp implementations
|
|
without Unicode support to recode UTF-16 vectors (rods) of
|
|
integers (runes) into UTF-8 strings.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
User code does not usually need to deal with recoders in current
|
|
versions of CXML.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<div class="def">Function CXML:MAKE-RECODER (chained-handler recoder-fn)</div>
|
|
Return a SAX handler which passes all events on to
|
|
<tt>chained-handler</tt> after converting all strings and rods
|
|
using <tt>recoder-fn</tt>, a function of one argument.
|
|
</p>

|
|
<a name="dtdcache"/>
|
|
<h3>Caching of DTD Objects</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To avoid spending time parsing the same DTD over and over again,
|
|
CXML can cache DTD objects. The parser consults
|
|
<tt>cxml:*dtd-cache*</tt> whenever it is looking for an external
|
|
subset in a document which does not have an internal subset and
|
|
uses the cached DTD instance if one is present in the cache for
|
|
the System ID in question.
|

<h3>XML Catalogs</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
External entities (for example, DTDs) are referred to using their
|
|
Public and System IDs. Usually the System ID, a URI, is used to
|
|
locate the entity. CXML itself handles only file://-URIs, but
|
|
many System IDs in practical use are http://-URIs. There are two
|
|
different mechanims applications can use to allow CXML to locate
|
|
entities using arbitrary Public ID or System ID:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
User-defined entity resolvers can be used to open entities using
|
|
arbitrary protocols. For example, an entity resolver could
|
|
handle all System-IDs with the <tt>http</tt> scheme using some
|
|
HTTP library. Refer to the description of the
|
|
<tt>entity-resolver</tt> keyword argument to parser functions (see <a
|
|
href="#parser"><tt>cxml:parse-file</tt></a>) to more
|
|
information on entity resolvers.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
XML Catalogs are (local) tables in XML syntax which map External
|
|
IDs to alternative System IDs. If, say, the xhtml DTD is
|
|
present in the local file system and the local copy has been
|
|
registered with the XML catalog, CXML will use the local copy of
|
|
the DTD instead of trying to open the version available using HTTP.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This section describes XML Catalogs, the second solution. CXML
|
|
implements <a
|
|
href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/spec.html">Oasis
|
|
XML Catalogs</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<div class="def">Variable CXML:*CATALOG*</div>
|
|
The XML Catalog object consulted by the parser before trying to
|
|
open an entity. Initially <tt>nil</tt>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<div class="def">Variable CXML:*PREFER*</div>
|
|
The default "prefer" mode from the Catalog specification, one
|
|
of <tt>:public</tt> or <tt>:system</tt>. Defaults
|
|
to <tt>:public</tt>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<div class="def">Function CXML:MAKE-CATALOG (&optional uris)</div>
|
|
Return a catalog object for the catalog files specified.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<div class="def">Function CXML:RESOLVE-URI (uri catalog)</div>
|
|
Look up <tt>uri</tt> in <tt>catalog</tt> and return the
|
|
resulting URI, or <tt>nil</tt> if no match was found.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<div class="def">Function CXML:RESOLVE-EXTID (publicid systemid catalog)</div>
|
|
Look up the External ID (<tt>publicid</tt>, <tt>systemid</tt>)
|
|
in <tt>catalog</tt> and return the resulting URI, or <tt>nil</tt>
|
|
if no match was found.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Example:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>* (setf cxml:*catalog* nil)
|
|
* (cxml:parse-file "test.xhtml" nil)
|
|
=> Error: URI scheme :HTTP not supported
|
|
|
|
* (setf cxml:*catalog* (cxml:make-catalog))
|
|
* (cxml:parse-file "test.xhtml" nil)
|
|
;; no error!
|
|
NIL</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that parsed catalog files are cached in the catalog object.
|
|
Catalog files cached do not expire automatically. To ensure that
|
|
all catalog files are parsed again, create a new catalog object.

<h2>SAX Interface</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A SAX handler is an arbitrary objects that implements some of the
|
|
generic functions in the SAX package. Note that no default
|
|
handler class is necessary, because all generic functions have default
|
|
methods which do nothing. SAX functions are:
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:START-DOCUMENT (handler)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:END-DOCUMENT (handler)</div>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:START-ELEMENT (handler namespace-uri local-name qname attributes)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:END-ELEMENT (handler namespace-uri local-name qname)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:START-PREFIX-MAPPING (handler prefix uri)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:END-PREFIX-MAPPING (handler prefix)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:PROCESSING-INSTRUCTION (handler target data)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:COMMENT (handler data)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:START-CDATA (handler)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:END-CDATA (handler)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:CHARACTERS (handler data)</div>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:START-DTD (handler name public-id system-id)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:END-DTD (handler)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:START-INTERNAL-SUBSET (handler)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:END-INTERNAL-SUBSET (handler)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:UNPARSED-ENTITY-DECLARATION (handler name public-id system-id notation-name)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:EXTERNAL-ENTITY-DECLARATION (handler kind name public-id system-id)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:INTERNAL-ENTITY-DECLARATION (handler kind name value)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:NOTATION-DECLARATION (handler name public-id system-id)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:ELEMENT-DECLARATION (handler name model)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:ATTRIBUTE-DECLARATION (handler ename aname type default)</div>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
<div class="def">Accessor SAX:ATTRIBUTE-PREFIX (attribute)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Accessor SAX:ATTRIBUTE-NAMESPACE-URI (attribute)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Accessor SAX:ATTRIBUTE-LOCAL-NAME (attribute)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Accessor SAX:ATTRIBUTE-QNAME (attribute)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Accessor SAX:ATTRIBUTE-SPECIFIED-P (attribute)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Accessor SAX:ATTRIBUTE-VALUE (attribute)</div>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:FIND-ATTRIBUTE (qname attributes)</div>
|
|
<div class="def">Function SAX:FIND-ATTRIBUTE-NS (uri lname attributes)</div>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The entity declaration methods are similar to Java SAX
|
|
definitions, but parameter entities are distinguished from
|
|
general entities not by a <tt>%</tt> prefix to the name, but by
|
|
the <tt>kind</tt> argument, either <tt>:parameter</tt> or
|
|
<tt>:general</tt>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The arguments to <tt>sax:element-declaration</tt> and
|
|
<tt>sax:attribute-declaration</tt> differ significantly from their
|
|
Java counterparts.
