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 gener
ate 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 a XML document directly into the application datas
tructures 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 pro
vided by XML::SAX::Base.
Additionaly to the generic functions, that are only able
to process entire documents, XML::LibXML::SAX provides
ppaarrssee__cchhuunnkk(()). This method allows to generate SAX events
from well ballanced data such as is often provided by
databases.
NOTE: At the moment XML::LibXML provides only an incom
plete interface to libxml2's native SAX implementaion. The
current implementation is not tested in production envi
ronment. It may causes significant memory problems or
shows wrong behaviour.
