Instance Variable Summary

string target: target to pass parsed data to

Method Details

characters(self, content)

Receive notification of character data.

The Parser will call this method to report each chunk of character data. SAX parsers may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity so that the Locator provides useful information.
Overrides:
_xmlplus.sax.handler.ContentHandler.characters (inherited documentation)

endElement(self, name)

Signals the end of an element in non-namespace mode.

The name parameter contains the name of the element type, just as with the startElement event.
Overrides:
_xmlplus.sax.handler.ContentHandler.endElement (inherited documentation)

error(self, exception)

Handle a recoverable error.
Overrides:
_xmlplus.sax.handler.ErrorHandler.error (inherited documentation)

startElement(self, name, attrs)

Signals the start of an element in non-namespace mode.

The name parameter contains the raw XML 1.0 name of the element type as a string and the attrs parameter holds an instance of the Attributes class containing the attributes of the element.
Overrides:
_xmlplus.sax.handler.ContentHandler.startElement (inherited documentation)

Instance Variable Details

currentNode

name of current node in parsing process
Type:
string

target

target to pass parsed data to
Type:
string
