org.w3c.dom.ls.LSParser |
An interface to an object that is able to build, or augment, a DOM tree from various input sources.
LSParser
provides an API for parsing XML and building the corresponding DOM document structure. A LSParser
instance can be obtained by invoking the DOMImplementationLS.createLSParser()
method.
As specified in [DOM Level 3 Core] , when a document is first made available via the LSParser:
value
and nodeValue
attributes of an Attr
node initially return the XML 1.0 normalized value. However, if the parameters " validate-if-schema" and " datatype-normalization" are set to true
, depending on the attribute normalization used, the attribute values may differ from the ones obtained by the XML 1.0 attribute normalization. If the parameters " datatype-normalization" is set to false
, the XML 1.0 attribute normalization is guaranteed to occur, and if the attributes list does not contain namespace declarations, the attributes
attribute on Element
node represents the property [attributes] defined in [XML Information Set] . Asynchronous LSParser
objects are expected to also implement the events::EventTarget
interface so that event listeners can be registered on asynchronous LSParser
objects.
Events supported by asynchronous LSParser
objects are:
LSParser
finishes to load the document. See also the definition of the
LSLoadEvent
interface.
LSParser
signals progress as data is parsed. This specification does not attempt to define exactly when progress events should be dispatched. That is intentionally left as implementation-dependent. Here is one example of how an application might dispatch progress events: Once the parser starts receiving data, a progress event is dispatched to indicate that the parsing starts. From there on, a progress event is dispatched for every 4096 bytes of data that is received and processed. This is only one example, though, and implementations can choose to dispatch progress events at any time while parsing, or not dispatch them at all. See also the definition of the
LSProgressEvent
interface.
Note: All events defined in this specification use the namespace URI "http://www.w3.org/2002/DOMLS"
.
While parsing an input source, errors are reported to the application through the error handler (LSParser.domConfig
's " error-handler" parameter). This specification does in no way try to define all possible errors that can occur while parsing XML, or any other markup, but some common error cases are defined. The types (DOMError.type
) of errors and warnings defined by this specification are:
"check-character-normalization-failure" [error]
"doctype-not-allowed" [fatal]
true
and a doctype is encountered.
"no-input-specified" [fatal]
LSInput
object.
"pi-base-uri-not-preserved" [warning]
false
and the following XML file is parsed:
<!DOCTYPE root [ <!ENTITY e SYSTEM 'subdir/myentity.ent' ]> <root> &e; </root>And
subdir/myentity.ent
contains:
<one> <two/> </one> <?pi 3.14159?> <more/>
"unbound-prefix-in-entity" [warning]
true
and an unbound namespace prefix is encountered in an entity's replacement text. Raising this warning is not enforced since some existing parsers may not recognize unbound namespace prefixes in the replacement text of entities.
"unknown-character-denormalization" [fatal]
false
and a character is encountered for which the processor cannot determine the normalization properties.
"unsupported-encoding" [fatal]
"unsupported-media-type" [fatal]
true
and an unsupported media type is encountered.
In addition to raising the defined errors and warnings, implementations are expected to raise implementation specific errors and warnings for any other error and warning cases such as IO errors (file not found, permission denied,...), XML well-formedness errors, and so on.

Append the result of the parse operation as children of the context node. For this action to work, the context node must be an Element
or a DocumentFragment
.
Insert the result of the parse operation as the immediately following sibling of the context node. For this action to work the context node's parent must be an Element
or a DocumentFragment
.
Insert the result of the parse operation as the immediately preceding sibling of the context node. For this action to work the context node's parent must be an Element
or a DocumentFragment
.
Replace the context node with the result of the parse operation. For this action to work, the context node must have a parent, and the parent must be an Element
or a DocumentFragment
.
Replace all the children of the context node with the result of the parse operation. For this action to work, the context node must be an Element
, a Document
, or a DocumentFragment
.
Abort the loading of the document that is currently being loaded by the LSParser
. If the LSParser
is currently not busy, a call to this method does nothing.
true
if the LSParser
is asynchronous, false
if it is synchronous.
true
if the LSParser
is currently busy loading a document, otherwise false
.
The DOMConfiguration
object used when parsing an input source. This DOMConfiguration
is specific to the parse operation. No parameter values from this DOMConfiguration
object are passed automatically to the DOMConfiguration
object on the Document
that is created, or used, by the parse operation. The DOM application is responsible for passing any needed parameter values from this DOMConfiguration
object to the DOMConfiguration
object referenced by the Document
object.
In addition to the parameters recognized in on the DOMConfiguration interface defined in [DOM Level 3 Core] , the DOMConfiguration
objects for LSParser
add or modify the following parameters:
"charset-overrides-xml-encoding"
true
LSInput
overrides any encoding from the protocol.
false
"disallow-doctype"
true
false
"ignore-unknown-character-denormalizations"
true
false
"infoset"
DOMConfiguration
for a description of this parameter. Unlike in [
DOM Level 3 Core] , this parameter will default to
true
for
LSParser
.
"namespaces"
true
false
"resource-resolver"
LSResourceResolver
object, or null. If the value of this parameter is not null when an external resource (such as an external XML entity or an XML schema location) is encountered, the implementation will request that the
LSResourceResolver
referenced in this parameter resolves the resource.
"supported-media-types-only"
true
false
"validate"
DOMConfiguration
for a description of this parameter. Unlike in [
DOM Level 3 Core] , the processing of the internal subset is always accomplished, even if this parameter is set to
false
.
"validate-if-schema"
DOMConfiguration
for a description of this parameter. Unlike in [
DOM Level 3 Core] , the processing of the internal subset is always accomplished, even if this parameter is set to
false
.
"well-formed"
DOMConfiguration
for a description of this parameter. Unlike in [
DOM Level 3 Core] , this parameter cannot be set to
false
.
When a filter is provided, the implementation will call out to the filter as it is constructing the DOM tree structure. The filter can choose to remove elements from the document being constructed, or to terminate the parsing early.
The filter is invoked after the operations requested by the DOMConfiguration
parameters have been applied. For example, if " validate" is set to true
, the validation is done before invoking the filter.
Parse an XML document from a resource identified by a LSInput
.
input | The LSInput from which the source of the document is to be read. |
---|
LSParser
is a synchronous LSParser
, the newly created and populated Document
is returned. If the LSParser
is asynchronous, null
is returned since the document object may not yet be constructed when this method returns.DOMException | INVALID_STATE_ERR: Raised if the LSParser 's LSParser.busy attribute is true . |
---|---|
LSException | PARSE_ERR: Raised if the LSParser was unable to load the XML document. DOM applications should attach a DOMErrorHandler using the parameter " error-handler" if they wish to get details on the error. |
Parse an XML document from a location identified by a URI reference [IETF RFC 2396]. If the URI contains a fragment identifier (see section 4.1 in [IETF RFC 2396]), the behavior is not defined by this specification, future versions of this specification may define the behavior.
uri | The location of the XML document to be read. |
---|
LSParser
is a synchronous LSParser
, the newly created and populated Document
is returned, or null
if an error occured. If the LSParser
is asynchronous, null
is returned since the document object may not yet be constructed when this method returns.DOMException | INVALID_STATE_ERR: Raised if the LSParser.busy attribute is true . |
---|---|
LSException | PARSE_ERR: Raised if the LSParser was unable to load the XML document. DOM applications should attach a DOMErrorHandler using the parameter " error-handler" if they wish to get details on the error. |
Parse an XML fragment from a resource identified by a LSInput
and insert the content into an existing document at the position specified with the context
and action
arguments. When parsing the input stream, the context node (or its parent, depending on where the result will be inserted) is used for resolving unbound namespace prefixes. The context node's ownerDocument
node (or the node itself if the node of type DOCUMENT_NODE
) is used to resolve default attributes and entity references.
As the new data is inserted into the document, at least one mutation event is fired per new immediate child or sibling of the context node.
If the context node is a Document
node and the action is ACTION_REPLACE_CHILDREN
, then the document that is passed as the context node will be changed such that its xmlEncoding
, documentURI
, xmlVersion
, inputEncoding
, xmlStandalone
, and all other such attributes are set to what they would be set to if the input source was parsed using LSParser.parse()
.
This method is always synchronous, even if the LSParser
is asynchronous (LSParser.async
is true
).
If an error occurs while parsing, the caller is notified through the ErrorHandler
instance associated with the " error-handler" parameter of the DOMConfiguration
.
When calling parseWithContext
, the values of the following configuration parameters will be ignored and their default values will always be used instead: " validate", " validate-if-schema", and " element-content-whitespace". Other parameters will be treated normally, and the parser is expected to call the LSParserFilter
just as if a whole document was parsed.
input | The LSInput from which the source document is to be read. The source document must be an XML fragment, i.e. anything except a complete XML document (except in the case where the context node of type DOCUMENT_NODE , and the action is ACTION_REPLACE_CHILDREN ), a DOCTYPE (internal subset), entity declaration(s), notation declaration(s), or XML or text declaration(s). |
---|---|
contextArg | The node that is used as the context for the data that is being parsed. This node must be a Document node, a DocumentFragment node, or a node of a type that is allowed as a child of an Element node, e.g. it cannot be an Attribute node. |
action | This parameter describes which action should be taken between the new set of nodes being inserted and the existing children of the context node. The set of possible actions is defined in ACTION_TYPES above. |
DOMException | HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if the content cannot replace, be inserted before, after, or as a child of the context node (see also Node.insertBefore or Node.replaceChild in [DOM Level 3 Core] ). NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the LSParser doesn't support this method, or if the context node is of type Document and the DOM implementation doesn't support the replacement of the DocumentType child or Element child. NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if the context node is a read only node and the content is being appended to its child list, or if the parent node of the context node is read only node and the content is being inserted in its child list. INVALID_STATE_ERR: Raised if the LSParser.busy attribute is true . |
---|---|
LSException | PARSE_ERR: Raised if the LSParser was unable to load the XML fragment. DOM applications should attach a DOMErrorHandler using the parameter " error-handler" if they wish to get details on the error. |
When a filter is provided, the implementation will call out to the filter as it is constructing the DOM tree structure. The filter can choose to remove elements from the document being constructed, or to terminate the parsing early.
The filter is invoked after the operations requested by the DOMConfiguration
parameters have been applied. For example, if " validate" is set to true
, the validation is done before invoking the filter.
