bool xmlpp::Parser::get_include_default_attributes ( ) const

noexcept

See set_include_default_attributes().

Since libxml++ 2.38:

Returns: Whether attributes with default values will be included in the node tree.

void xmlpp::Parser::get_parser_options	(	int &	set_options,
		int &	clear_options
	)		const

noexcept

See set_parser_options().

Since libxml++ 2.38:

Parameters

[out]	set_options	Set bits correspond to flags that shall be set during parsing.
[out]	clear_options	Set bits correspond to flags that shall be cleared during parsing. Bits that are set in neither set_options nor clear_options are not affected.

bool xmlpp::Parser::get_substitute_entities ( ) const

noexcept

See set_substitute_entities().

Returns: Whether entities will be substituted during parsing.

bool xmlpp::Parser::get_throw_messages ( ) const

noexcept

See set_throw_messages().

Since libxml++ 2.36:

Returns: Whether messages will be collected and thrown in an exception.

bool xmlpp::Parser::get_validate ( ) const

noexcept

See set_validate().

Returns: Whether the parser will validate the XML file.

virtual void xmlpp::Parser::handle_exception ( )

protectedvirtual

To be called in an exception handler.

virtual void xmlpp::Parser::initialize_context ( )

protectedvirtual

Reimplemented in xmlpp::SaxParser.

virtual void xmlpp::Parser::parse_file ( const std::string & filename )

pure virtual

Parse an XML document from a file.

Exceptions

exception

Parameters

filename The path to the file.

Implemented in xmlpp::SaxParser, and xmlpp::DomParser.

virtual void xmlpp::Parser::parse_memory ( const ustring& contents )

pure virtual

Parse an XML document from a string.

Exceptions

exception

Parameters

contents The XML document as a string.

Implemented in xmlpp::SaxParser, and xmlpp::DomParser.

virtual void xmlpp::Parser::parse_memory_raw	(	const unsigned char *	contents,
		size_type	bytes_count
	)

pure virtual

Parse an XML document from raw memory.

Exceptions

exception

Parameters

contents	The XML document as an array of bytes.
bytes_count	The number of bytes in the contents array.

Implemented in xmlpp::SaxParser, and xmlpp::DomParser.

virtual void xmlpp::Parser::parse_stream ( std::istream & in )

pure virtual

Parse an XML document from a stream.

Exceptions

exception

Parameters

in	The stream.

Implemented in xmlpp::SaxParser, and xmlpp::DomParser.

virtual void xmlpp::Parser::release_underlying ( )

protectedvirtual

Reimplemented in xmlpp::SaxParser, and xmlpp::DomParser.

void xmlpp::Parser::set_include_default_attributes ( bool val = true )

noexcept

Set whether default attribute values from the DTD shall be included in the node tree.

If set, attributes not assigned a value in the XML file, but with a default value in the DTD file, will be included in the node tree that the parser creates. These attributes will be represented by AttributeNode instances (not AttributeDeclaration instances), just like attributes which are assigned a value in the XML file.

Since libxml++ 2.38:

Parameters

val	Whether attributes with default values will be included in the node tree.

void xmlpp::Parser::set_parser_options	(	int	set_options = `0`,
		int	clear_options = `0`
	)

noexcept

Set and/or clear parser option flags.

See the libxml2 documentation, enum xmlParserOption, for a list of parser options. This method overrides other methods that set parser options, such as set_validate(), set_substitute_entities() and set_include_default_attributes(). Use set_parser_options() only if no other method can set the parser options you want.

Since libxml++ 2.38:

Parameters

set_options	Set bits correspond to flags that shall be set during parsing.
clear_options	Set bits correspond to flags that shall be cleared during parsing. Bits that are set in neither set_options nor clear_options are not affected.

void xmlpp::Parser::set_substitute_entities ( bool val = true )

noexcept

Set whether the parser will automatically substitute entity references with the text of the entities' definitions.

For instance, this affects the text returned by ContentNode::get_content(). By default, the parser will not substitute entities, so that you do not lose the entity reference information.

Parameters

val	Whether entities will be substitued.

void xmlpp::Parser::set_throw_messages ( bool val = true )

noexcept

Set whether the parser will collect and throw error and warning messages.

If messages are collected, they are included in an exception thrown at the end of parsing.

DOM parser

If the messages are not collected, they are written on stderr. The messages written on stderr are slightly different, and may be preferred in a program started from the command-line. The default, if set_throw_messages() is not called, is to collect and throw messages.
SAX parser

If the messages are not collected, the error handling on_*() methods in the user's SAX parser subclass are called. This is the default, if set_throw_messages() is not called.

Since libxml++ 2.36:

Parameters

val	Whether messages will be collected and thrown in an exception.

void xmlpp::Parser::set_validate ( bool val = true )

noexcept

By default, the parser will not validate the XML file.

Parameters

val	Whether the document should be validated.
