NAME

XML::LibXML::SAX - XML::LibXML direct SAX parser

DESCRIPTION

XML::LibXML provides an interface to libxml2 direct interface. Through this interface it is possible to generate events directly while parsing a document. While using the parser XML::LibXML will not create a Document tree.

Such an interface is useful if very large

documents have to be processed and no functions are required. By using this interface it is possible to read data stored within an document directly into the application data structures without loading the document into memory.

The

interface of XML::LibXML is based on the famous 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

events from well balanced data such as is often provided by databases.

FEATURES

This feature is experimental.

You can enable character data joining which may yield a significant speed boost in your

processing in lower markup ratio situations by enabling the xmlns.perl.org/sax/join-character-data feature of this parser. This is done via the set_feature method like this:

  $p->set_feature('xmlns.perl.org/sax/join-character-data 1);

You can also specify a 0 to disable. The default is to have this feature disabled.
