LuaExpat is a SAX XML parser based on the Expat library. SAX is the Simple API
|
||
|
|
for XML and allows programs to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* process a XML document incrementally, thus being able to handle huge
|
||
|
|
documents without memory penalties;
|
||
|
|
* register handler functions which are called by the parser during the
|
||
|
|
processing of the document, handling the document elements or text.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With an event-based API like SAX the XML document can be fed to the parser in
|
||
|
|
chunks, and the parsing begins as soon as the parser receives the first
|
||
|
|
document chunk. LuaExpat reports parsing events (such as the start and end of
|
||
|
|
elements) directly to the application through callbacks. The parsing of huge
|
||
|
|
documents can benefit from this piecemeal operation.
