NAME¶
XML::LibXML::SAX - XML::LibXML direct SAX parser
DESCRIPTION¶
XML::LibXML provides an interface to libxml2 direct SAX interface. Through this
interface it is possible to generate SAX events directly while parsing a
document. While using the SAX parser XML::LibXML will not create a DOM
Document tree.
Such an interface is useful if very large XML documents have to be processed and
no DOM functions are required. By using this interface it is possible to read
data stored within an XML document directly into the application data
structures without loading the document into memory.
The SAX interface of XML::LibXML is based on the famous XML::SAX interface. It
uses the generic interface as provided by XML::SAX::Base.
Additionally to the generic functions, which are only able to process entire
documents, XML::LibXML::SAX provides
parse_chunk(). This
method generates SAX events from well balanced data such as is often provided
by databases.
FEATURES¶
NOTE: This feature is experimental.
You can enable character data joining which may yield a significant speed boost
in your XML processing in lower markup ratio situations by enabling the
http://xmlns.perl.org/sax/join-character-data feature of this parser. This is
done via the set_feature method like this:
$p->set_feature('http://xmlns.perl.org/sax/join-character-data', 1);
You can also specify a 0 to disable. The default is to have this feature
disabled.
