| 16 | <h1>Expat XML Parser</h1> |
| 17 | |
| 18 | <p>Expat is a library, written in C, for parsing XML documents. It's |
| 19 | the underlying XML parser for the open source Mozilla project, Perl's |
| 20 | <code>XML::Parser</code>, Python's <code>xml.parsers.expat</code>, and |
| 21 | other open-source XML parsers.</p> |
| 22 | |
| 23 | <p>This library is the creation of James Clark, who's also given us |
| 24 | groff (an nroff look-alike), Jade (an implemention of ISO's DSSSL |
| 25 | stylesheet language for SGML), XP (a Java XML parser package), XT (a |
| 26 | Java XSL engine). James was also the technical lead on the XML |
| 27 | Working Group at W3C that produced the XML specification.</p> |

| 134 | <h2><a name="overview">Overview</a></h2> |
| 135 | |
| 136 | <p>Expat is a stream-oriented parser. You register callback (or |
| 137 | handler) functions with the parser and then start feeding it the |
| 138 | document. As the parser recognizes parts of the document, it will |
| 139 | call the appropriate handler for that part (if you've registered one.) |
| 140 | The document is fed to the parser in pieces, so you can start parsing |
| 141 | before you have all the document. This also allows you to parse really |
| 142 | huge documents that won't fit into memory.</p> |
| 143 | |
| 144 | <p>Expat can be intimidating due to the many kinds of handlers and |
| 145 | options you can set. But you only need to learn four functions in |
| 146 | order to do 90% of what you'll want to do with it:</p> |
| 147 | |
| 148 | <dl> |
| 149 | |
| 150 | <dt><code><a href= "#XML_ParserCreate" |
| 151 | >XML_ParserCreate</a></code></dt> |
| 152 | <dd>Create a new parser object.</dd> |
| 153 | |
| 154 | <dt><code><a href= "#XML_SetElementHandler" |
| 155 | >XML_SetElementHandler</a></code></dt> |
| 156 | <dd>Set handlers for start and end tags.</dd> |
| 157 | |
| 158 | <dt><code><a href= "#XML_SetCharacterDataHandler" |
| 159 | >XML_SetCharacterDataHandler</a></code></dt> |
| 160 | <dd>Set handler for text.</dd> |
| 161 | |
| 162 | <dt><code><a href= "#XML_Parse" |
| 163 | >XML_Parse</a></code></dt> |
| 164 | <dd>Pass a buffer full of document to the parser</dd> |
| 165 | </dl> |
| 166 | |
| 167 | <p>These functions and others are described in the <a |
| 168 | href="#reference">reference</a> part of this document. The reference |
| 169 | section also describes in detail the parameters passed to the |
| 170 | different types of handlers.</p> |
| 171 | |
| 172 | <p>Let's look at a very simple example program that only uses 3 of the |
| 173 | above functions (it doesn't need to set a character handler.) The |
| 174 | program <a href="../examples/outline.c">outline.c</a> prints an |
| 175 | element outline, indenting child elements to distinguish them from the |
| 176 | parent element that contains them. The start handler does all the |
| 177 | work. It prints two indenting spaces for every level of ancestor |
| 178 | elements, then it prints the element and attribute |
| 179 | information. Finally it increments the global <code>Depth</code> |
| 180 | variable.</p> |
| 181 | |
| 182 | <pre class="eg"> |
| 183 | int Depth; |
| 184 | |
| 185 | void |
| 186 | start(void *data, const char *el, const char **attr) { |
| 187 | int i; |
| 188 | |
| 189 | for (i = 0; i < Depth; i++) |
| 190 | printf(" "); |
| 191 | |
| 192 | printf("%s", el); |
| 193 | |
| 194 | for (i = 0; attr[i]; i += 2) { |
| 195 | printf(" %s='%s'", attr[i], attr[i + 1]); |
| 196 | } |
| 197 | |
| 198 | printf("\n"); |
| 199 | Depth++; |
| 200 | } /* End of start handler */ |
| 201 | </pre> |
| 202 | |
| 203 | <p>The end tag simply does the bookkeeping work of decrementing |
| 204 | <code>Depth</code>.</p> |
| 205 | <pre class="eg"> |
| 206 | void |
| 207 | end(void *data, const char *el) { |
| 208 | Depth--; |
| 209 | } /* End of end handler */ |
| 210 | </pre> |
| 211 | |
| 212 | <p>After creating the parser, the main program just has the job of |
| 213 | shoveling the document to the parser so that it can do its work.</p> |
| 214 | |
| 215 | <hr /> |
| 216 | <h2><a name="building">Building and Installing Expat</a></h2> |
| 217 | |
| 218 | <p>The Expat distribution comes as a compressed (with GNU gzip) tar |
| 219 | file. You may download the latest version from <a href= |
| 220 | "http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/" >Source Forge</a>. After |
| 221 | unpacking this, cd into the directory. Then follow either the Win32 |
| 222 | directions or Unix directions below.</p> |
| 223 | |
| 224 | <h3>Building under Win32</h3> |
| 225 | |
| 226 | <p>If you're using the GNU compiler under cygwin, follow the Unix |
| 227 | directions in the next section. Otherwise if you have Microsoft's |
| 228 | Developer Studio installed, then from Windows Explorer double-click on |
| 229 | "expat.dsp" in the lib directory and build and install in the usual |
| 230 | manner.</p> |
| 231 | |
| 232 | <p>Alternatively, you may download the Win32 binary package that |
| 233 | contains the "expat.h" include file and a pre-built DLL.</p> |
| 234 | |
| 235 | <h3>Building under Unix (or GNU)</h3> |
| 236 | |
| 237 | <p>First you'll need to run the configure shell script in order to |
| 238 | configure the Makefiles and headers for your system.</p> |
| 239 | |
| 240 | <p>If you're happy with all the defaults that configure picks for you, |
| 241 | and you have permission on your system to install into /usr/local, you |
| 242 | can install Expat with this sequence of commands:</p> |
| 243 | |
| 244 | <pre class="eg"> |
| 245 | ./configure |
| 246 | make |
| 247 | make install |
| 248 | </pre> |
| 249 | |
| 250 | <p>There are some options that you can provide to this script, but the |
| 251 | only one we'll mention here is the <code>--prefix</code> option. You |
| 252 | can find out all the options available by running configure with just |
| 253 | the <code>--help</code> option.</p> |
| 254 | |
| 255 | <p>By default, the configure script sets things up so that the library |
| 256 | gets installed in <code>/usr/local/lib</code> and the associated |
| 257 | header file in <code>/usr/local/include</code>. But if you were to |
| 258 | give the option, <code>--prefix=/home/me/mystuff</code>, then the |
| 259 | library and header would get installed in |
| 260 | <code>/home/me/mystuff/lib</code> and |
| 261 | <code>/home/me/mystuff/include</code> respectively.</p> |
| 262 | |
| 263 | <hr /> |
| 264 | <h2><a name="using">Using Expat</a></h2> |
| 265 | |
| 266 | <h3>Compiling and Linking Against Expat</h3> |
| 267 | |
| 268 | <p>Unless you installed Expat in a location not expected by your |
| 269 | compiler and linker, all you have to do to use Expat in your programs |
| 270 | is to include the Expat header (<code>#include <expat.h></code>) |
| 271 | in your files that make calls to it and to tell the linker that it |
| 272 | needs to link against the Expat library. On Unix systems, this would |
| 273 | usually be done with the <code>-lexpat</code> argument. Otherwise, |
| 274 | you'll need to tell the compiler where to look for the Expat header |
| 275 | and the linker where to find the Expat library. You may also need to |
| 276 | take steps to tell the operating system where to find this libary at |
| 277 | run time.</p> |
| 278 | |
| 279 | <p>On a Unix-based system, here's what a Makefile might look like when |
| 280 | Expat is installed in a standard location:</p> |
| 281 | |
| 282 | <pre class="eg"> |
| 283 | CC=cc |
| 284 | LDFLAGS= |
| 285 | LIBS= -lexpat |
| 286 | xmlapp: xmlapp.o |
| 287 | $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o xmlapp xmlapp.o $(LIBS) |
| 288 | </pre> |
| 289 | |
| 290 | <p>If you installed Expat in, say, <code>/home/me/mystuff</code>, then |
| 291 | the Makefile would look like this:</p> |
| 292 | |
| 293 | <pre class="eg"> |
| 294 | CC=cc |
| 295 | CFLAGS= -I/home/me/mystuff/include |
| 296 | LDFLAGS= |
| 297 | LIBS= -L/home/me/mystuff/lib -lexpat |
| 298 | xmlapp: xmlapp.o |
| 299 | $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o xmlapp xmlapp.o $(LIBS) |
| 300 | </pre> |
| 301 | |
| 302 | <p>You'd also have to set the environment variable |
| 303 | <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> to <code>/home/me/mystuff/lib</code> (or |
| 304 | to <code>${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/home/me/mystuff/lib</code> if |
| 305 | LD_LIBRARY_PATH already has some directories in it) in order to run |
| 306 | your application.</p> |
| 307 | |
| 308 | <h3>Expat Basics</h3> |
| 309 | |
| 310 | <p>As we saw in the example in the overview, the first step in parsing |
| 311 | an XML document with Expat is to create a parser object. There are <a |
| 312 | href="#creation">three functions</a> in the Expat API for creating a |
| 313 | parser object. However, only two of these (<code><a href= |
| 314 | "#XML_ParserCreate" >XML_ParserCreate</a></code> and <code><a href= |
| 315 | "#XML_ParserCreateNS" >XML_ParserCreateNS</a></code>) can be used for |
| 316 | constructing a parser for a top-level document. The object returned |
| 317 | by these functions is an opaque pointer (i.e. "expat.h" declares it as |
| 318 | void *) to data with further internal structure. In order to free the |
| 319 | memory associated with this object you must call <code><a href= |
| 320 | "#XML_ParserFree" >XML_ParserFree</a></code>. Note that if you have |
| 321 | provided any <a href="userdata">user data</a> that gets stored in the |
| 322 | parser, then your application is responsible for freeing it prior to |
| 323 | calling <code>XML_ParserFree</code>.</p> |
| 324 | |
| 325 | <p>The objects returned by the parser creation functions are good for |
| 326 | parsing only one XML document or external parsed entity. If your |
| 327 | application needs to parse many XML documents, then it needs to create |
| 328 | a parser object for each one. The best way to deal with this is to |
| 329 | create a higher level object that contains all the default |
| 330 | initialization you want for your parser objects.</p> |
| 331 | |
| 332 | <p>Walking through a document hierarchy with a stream oriented parser |
| 333 | will require a good stack mechanism in order to keep track of current |
| 334 | context. For instance, to answer the simple question, "What element |
| 335 | does this text belong to?" requires a stack, since the parser may have |
| 336 | descended into other elements that are children of the current one and |
| 337 | has encountered this text on the way out.</p> |
| 338 | |
| 339 | <p>The things you're likely to want to keep on a stack are the |
| 340 | currently opened element and it's attributes. You push this |
| 341 | information onto the stack in the start handler and you pop it off in |
| 342 | the end handler.</p> |
| 343 | |
| 344 | <p>For some tasks, it is sufficient to just keep information on what |
| 345 | the depth of the stack is (or would be if you had one.) The outline |
| 346 | program shown above presents one example. Another such task would be |
| 347 | skipping over a complete element. When you see the start tag for the |
| 348 | element you want to skip, you set a skip flag and record the depth at |
| 349 | which the element started. When the end tag handler encounters the |
| 350 | same depth, the skipped element has ended and the flag may be |
| 351 | cleared. If you follow the convention that the root element starts at |
| 352 | 1, then you can use the same variable for skip flag and skip |
| 353 | depth.</p> |
| 354 | |
| 355 | <pre class="eg"> |
| 356 | void |
| 357 | init_info(Parseinfo *info) { |
| 358 | info->skip = 0; |
| 359 | info->depth = 1; |
| 360 | /* Other initializations here */ |
| 361 | } /* End of init_info */ |
| 362 | |
| 363 | void |
| 364 | rawstart(void *data, const char *el, const char **attr) { |
| 365 | Parseinfo *inf = (Parseinfo *) data; |
| 366 | |
| 367 | if (! inf->skip) { |
| 368 | if (should_skip(inf, el, attr)) { |
| 369 | inf->skip = inf->depth; |
| 370 | } |
| 371 | else |
| 372 | start(inf, el, attr); /* This does rest of start handling */ |
| 373 | } |
| 374 | |
| 375 | inf->depth++; |
| 376 | } /* End of rawstart */ |
| 377 | |
| 378 | void |
| 379 | rawend(void *data, const char *el) { |
| 380 | Parseinfo *inf = (Parseinfo *) data; |
| 381 | |
| 382 | inf->depth--; |
| 383 | |
| 384 | if (! inf->skip) |
| 385 | end(inf, el); /* This does rest of end handling */ |
| 386 | |
| 387 | if (inf->skip == inf->depth) |
| 388 | inf->skip = 0; |
| 389 | } /* End rawend */ |
| 390 | </pre> |
| 391 | |
| 392 | <p>Notice in the above example the difference in how depth is |
| 393 | manipulated in the start and end handlers. The end tag handler should |
| 394 | be the mirror image of the start tag handler. This is necessary to |
| 395 | properly model containment. Since, in the start tag handler, we |
| 396 | incremented depth <em>after</em> the main body of start tag code, then |
| 397 | in the end handler, we need to manipulate it <em>before</em> the main |
| 398 | body. If we'd decided to increment it first thing in the start |
| 399 | handler, then we'd have had to decrement it last thing in the end |
| 400 | handler.</p> |
| 401 | |
| 402 | <h3 id="userdata">Communicating between handlers</h3> |
| 403 | |
| 404 | <p>In order to be able to pass information between different handlers |
| 405 | without using globals, you'll need to define a data structure to hold |
| 406 | the shared variables. You can then tell Expat (with the <code><a href= |
| 407 | "#XML_SetUserData" >XML_SetUserData</a></code> function) to pass a |
| 408 | pointer to this structure to the handlers. This is typically the first |
| 409 | argument received by most handlers.</p> |
| 410 | |
| 411 | <h3>XML Version</h3> |
| 412 | |
| 413 | <p>Expat is an XML 1.0 parser, and as such never complains based on |
| 414 | the value of the <code>version</code> pseudo-attribute in the XML |
| 415 | declaration, if present.</p> |
| 416 | |
| 417 | <p>If an application needs to check the version number (to support |
| 418 | alternate processing), it should use the <code><a href= |
| 419 | "#XML_SetXmlDeclHandler" >XML_SetXmlDeclHandler</a></code> function to |
| 420 | set a handler that uses the information in the XML declaration to |
| 421 | determine what to do. This example shows how to check that only a |
| 422 | version number of <code>"1.0"</code> is accepted:</p> |
| 423 | |
| 424 | <pre class="eg"> |
| 425 | static int wrong_version; |
| 426 | static XML_Parser parser; |
| 427 | |
| 428 | static void |
| 429 | xmldecl_handler(void *userData, |
| 430 | const XML_Char *version, |
| 431 | const XML_Char *encoding, |
| 432 | int standalone) |
| 433 | { |
| 434 | static const XML_Char Version_1_0[] = {'1', '.', '0', 0}; |
| 435 | |
| 436 | int i; |
| 437 | |
| 438 | for (i = 0; i < (sizeof(Version_1_0) / sizeof(Version_1_0[0])); ++i) { |
| 439 | if (version[i] != Version_1_0[i]) { |
| 440 | wrong_version = 1; |
| 441 | /* also clear all other handlers: */ |
| 442 | XML_SetCharacterDataHandler(parser, NULL); |
| 443 | ... |
| 444 | return; |
| 445 | } |
| 446 | } |
| 447 | ... |
| 448 | } |
| 449 | </pre> |
| 450 | |
| 451 | <h3>Namespace Processing</h3> |
| 452 | |
| 453 | <p>When the parser is created using the <code><a href= |
| 454 | "#XML_ParserCreateNS" >XML_ParserCreateNS</a></code>, function, Expat |
| 455 | performs namespace processing. Under namespace processing, Expat |
| 456 | consumes <code>xmlns</code> and <code>xmlns:...</code> attributes, |
| 457 | which declare namespaces for the scope of the element in which they |
| 458 | occur. This means that your start handler will not see these |
| 459 | attributes. Your application can still be informed of these |
| 460 | declarations by setting namespace declaration handlers with <a href= |
| 461 | "#XML_SetNamespaceDeclHandler" |
| 462 | ><code>XML_SetNamespaceDeclHandler</code></a>.</p> |
| 463 | |
| 464 | <p>Element type and attribute names that belong to a given namespace |
| 465 | are passed to the appropriate handler in expanded form. By default |
| 466 | this expanded form is a concatenation of the namespace URI, the |
| 467 | separator character (which is the 2nd argument to <code><a href= |
| 468 | "#XML_ParserCreateNS" >XML_ParserCreateNS</a></code>), and the local |
| 469 | name (i.e. the part after the colon). Names with undeclared prefixes |
| 470 | are passed through to the handlers unchanged, with the prefix and |
| 471 | colon still attached. Unprefixed attribute names are never expanded, |
| 472 | and unprefixed element names are only expanded when they are in the |
| 473 | scope of a default namespace.</p> |
| 474 | |
| 475 | <p>However if <code><a href= "XML_SetReturnNSTriplet" |
| 476 | >XML_SetReturnNSTriplet</a></code> has been called with a non-zero |
| 477 | <code>do_nst</code> parameter, then the expanded form for names with |
| 478 | an explicit prefix is a concatenation of: URI, separator, local name, |
| 479 | separator, prefix.</p> |
| 480 | |
| 481 | <p>You can set handlers for the start of a namespace declaration and |
| 482 | for the end of a scope of a declaration with the <code><a href= |
| 483 | "#XML_SetNamespaceDeclHandler" >XML_SetNamespaceDeclHandler</a></code> |
| 484 | function. The StartNamespaceDeclHandler is called prior to the start |
| 485 | tag handler and the EndNamespaceDeclHandler is called before the |
| 486 | corresponding end tag that ends the namespace's scope. The namespace |
| 487 | start handler gets passed the prefix and URI for the namespace. For a |
| 488 | default namespace declaration (xmlns='...'), the prefix will be null. |
| 489 | The URI will be null for the case where the default namespace is being |
| 490 | unset. The namespace end handler just gets the prefix for the closing |
| 491 | scope.</p> |
| 492 | |
| 493 | <p>These handlers are called for each declaration. So if, for |
| 494 | instance, a start tag had three namespace declarations, then the |
| 495 | StartNamespaceDeclHandler would be called three times before the start |
| 496 | tag handler is called, once for each declaration.</p> |
| 497 | |
| 498 | <h3>Character Encodings</h3> |
| 499 | |
| 500 | <p>While XML is based on Unicode, and every XML processor is required |
| 501 | to recognized UTF-8 and UTF-16 (1 and 2 byte encodings of Unicode), |
| 502 | other encodings may be declared in XML documents or entities. For the |
| 503 | main document, an XML declaration may contain an encoding |
| 504 | declaration:</p> |
| 505 | <pre> |
| 506 | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?> |
| 507 | </pre> |
| 508 | |
| 509 | <p>External parsed entities may begin with a text declaration, which |
| 510 | looks like an XML declaration with just an encoding declaration:</p> |
| 511 | <pre> |
| 512 | <?xml encoding="Big5"?> |
| 513 | </pre> |
| 514 | |
| 515 | <p>With Expat, you may also specify an encoding at the time of |
| 516 | creating a parser. This is useful when the encoding information may |
| 517 | come from a source outside the document itself (like a higher level |
| 518 | protocol.)</p> |
| 519 | |
| 520 | <p><a name="builtin_encodings"></a>There are four built-in encodings |
| 521 | in Expat:</p> |
| 522 | <ul> |
| 523 | <li>UTF-8</li> |
| 524 | <li>UTF-16</li> |
| 525 | <li>ISO-8859-1</li> |
| 526 | <li>US-ASCII</li> |
| 527 | </ul> |
| 528 | |
| 529 | <p>Anything else discovered in an encoding declaration or in the |
| 530 | protocol encoding specified in the parser constructor, triggers a call |
| 531 | to the <code>UnknownEncodingHandler</code>. This handler gets passed |
| 532 | the encoding name and a pointer to an <code>XML_Encoding</code> data |
| 533 | structure. Your handler must fill in this structure and return |
| 534 | <code>XML_STATUS_OK</code> if it knows how to deal with the |
| 535 | encoding. Otherwise the handler should return |
| 536 | <code>XML_STATUS_ERROR</code>. The handler also gets passed a pointer |
| 537 | to an optional application data structure that you may indicate when |
| 538 | you set the handler.</p> |
| 539 | |
| 540 | <p>Expat places restrictions on character encodings that it can |
| 541 | support by filling in the <code>XML_Encoding</code> structure. |
| 542 | include file:</p> |
| 543 | <ol> |
| 544 | <li>Every ASCII character that can appear in a well-formed XML document |
| 545 | must be represented by a single byte, and that byte must correspond to |
| 546 | it's ASCII encoding (except for the characters $@\^'{}~)</li> |
| 547 | <li>Characters must be encoded in 4 bytes or less.</li> |
| 548 | <li>All characters encoded must have Unicode scalar values less than or |
| 549 | equal to 65535 (0xFFFF)<em>This does not apply to the built-in support |
| 550 | for UTF-16 and UTF-8</em></li> |
| 551 | <li>No character may be encoded by more that one distinct sequence of |
| 552 | bytes</li> |
| 553 | </ol> |
| 554 | |
| 555 | <p><code>XML_Encoding</code> contains an array of integers that |
| 556 | correspond to the 1st byte of an encoding sequence. If the value in |
| 557 | the array for a byte is zero or positive, then the byte is a single |
| 558 | byte encoding that encodes the Unicode scalar value contained in the |
| 559 | array. A -1 in this array indicates a malformed byte. If the value is |
| 560 | -2, -3, or -4, then the byte is the beginning of a 2, 3, or 4 byte |
| 561 | sequence respectively. Multi-byte sequences are sent to the convert |
| 562 | function pointed at in the <code>XML_Encoding</code> structure. This |
| 563 | function should return the Unicode scalar value for the sequence or -1 |
| 564 | if the sequence is malformed.</p> |
| 565 | |
| 566 | <p>One pitfall that novice Expat users are likely to fall into is that |
| 567 | although Expat may accept input in various encodings, the strings that |
| 568 | it passes to the handlers are always encoded in UTF-8 or UTF-16 |
| 569 | (depending on how Expat was compiled). Your application is responsible |
| 570 | for any translation of these strings into other encodings.</p> |
| 571 | |
| 572 | <h3>Handling External Entity References</h3> |
| 573 | |
| 574 | <p>Expat does not read or parse external entities directly. Note that |
| 575 | any external DTD is a special case of an external entity. If you've |
| 576 | set no <code>ExternalEntityRefHandler</code>, then external entity |
| 577 | references are silently ignored. Otherwise, it calls your handler with |
| 578 | the information needed to read and parse the external entity.</p> |
| 579 | |
| 580 | <p>Your handler isn't actually responsible for parsing the entity, but |
| 581 | it is responsible for creating a subsidiary parser with <code><a href= |
| 582 | "#XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate" |
| 583 | >XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate</a></code> that will do the job. This |
| 584 | returns an instance of <code>XML_Parser</code> that has handlers and |
| 585 | other data structures initialized from the parent parser. You may then |
| 586 | use <code><a href= "#XML_Parse" >XML_Parse</a></code> or <code><a |
| 587 | href= "#XML_ParseBuffer">XML_ParseBuffer</a></code> calls against this |
| 588 | parser. Since external entities my refer to other external entities, |
| 589 | your handler should be prepared to be called recursively.</p> |
| 590 | |
| 591 | <h3>Parsing DTDs</h3> |
| 592 | |
| 593 | <p>In order to parse parameter entities, before starting the parse, |
| 594 | you must call <code><a href= "#XML_SetParamEntityParsing" |
| 595 | >XML_SetParamEntityParsing</a></code> with one of the following |
| 596 | arguments:</p> |
| 597 | <dl> |
| 598 | <dt><code>XML_PARAM_ENTITY_PARSING_NEVER</code></dt> |
| 599 | <dd>Don't parse parameter entities or the external subset</dd> |
| 600 | <dt><code>XML_PARAM_ENTITY_PARSING_UNLESS_STANDALONE</code></dt> |
| 601 | <dd>Parse parameter entites and the external subset unless |
| 602 | <code>standalone</code> was set to "yes" in the XML declaration.</dd> |
| 603 | <dt><code>XML_PARAM_ENTITY_PARSING_ALWAYS</code></dt> |
| 604 | <dd>Always parse parameter entities and the external subset</dd> |
| 605 | </dl> |
| 606 | |
| 607 | <p>In order to read an external DTD, you also have to set an external |
| 608 | entity reference handler as described above.</p> |

| 797 | <h3><a name="setting">Handler Setting</a></h3> |
| 798 | |
| 799 | <p>Although handlers are typically set prior to parsing and left alone, an |
| 800 | application may choose to set or change the handler for a parsing event |
| 801 | while the parse is in progress. For instance, your application may choose |
| 802 | to ignore all text not descended from a <code>para</code> element. One |
| 803 | way it could do this is to set the character handler when a para start tag |
| 804 | is seen, and unset it for the corresponding end tag.</p> |
| 805 | |
| 806 | <p>A handler may be <em>unset</em> by providing a NULL pointer to the |
| 807 | appropriate handler setter. None of the handler setting functions have |
| 808 | a return value.</p> |
| 809 | |
| 810 | <p>Your handlers will be receiving strings in arrays of type |
| 811 | <code>XML_Char</code>. This type is defined in expat.h as <code>char |
| 812 | *</code> and contains bytes encoding UTF-8. Note that you'll receive |
| 813 | them in this form independent of the original encoding of the |
| 814 | document.</p> |

| 1004 | <p>Set an external entity reference handler. This handler is also |
| 1005 | called for processing an external DTD subset if parameter entity parsing |
| 1006 | is in effect. (See <a href="#XML_SetParamEntityParsing"> |
| 1007 | <code>XML_SetParamEntityParsing</code></a>.)</p> |
| 1008 | |
| 1009 | <p>The <code>context</code> parameter specifies the parsing context in |
| 1010 | the format expected by the <code>context</code> argument to <code><a |
| 1011 | href="#XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate" |
| 1012 | >XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate</a></code>. <code>code</code> is |
| 1013 | valid only until the handler returns, so if the referenced entity is |
| 1014 | to be parsed later, it must be copied. <code>context</code> is NULL |
| 1015 | only when the entity is a parameter entity, which is how one can |
| 1016 | differentiate between general and parameter entities.</p> |
| 1017 | |
| 1018 | <p>The <code>base</code> parameter is the base to use for relative |
| 1019 | system identifiers. It is set by <code><a |
| 1020 | href="#XML_SetBase">XML_SetBase</a></code> and may be NULL. The |
| 1021 | <code>publicId</code> parameter is the public id given in the entity |
| 1022 | declaration and may be NULL. <code>systemId</code> is the system |
| 1023 | identifier specified in the entity declaration and is never NULL.</p> |
| 1024 | |
| 1025 | <p>There are a couple of ways in which this handler differs from |
| 1026 | others. First, this handler returns a status indicator (an |
| 1027 | integer). <code>XML_STATUS_OK</code> should be returned for successful |
| 1028 | handling of the external entity reference. Returning |
| 1029 | <code>XML_STATUS_ERROR</code> indicates failure, and causes the |
| 1030 | calling parser to return an |
| 1031 | <code>XML_ERROR_EXTERNAL_ENTITY_HANDLING</code> error.</p> |
| 1032 | |
| 1033 | <p>Second, instead of having the user data as its first argument, it |
| 1034 | receives the parser that encountered the entity reference. This, along |
| 1035 | with the context parameter, may be used as arguments to a call to |
| 1036 | <code><a href= "#XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate" |
| 1037 | >XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate</a></code>. Using the returned |
| 1038 | parser, the body of the external entity can be recursively parsed.</p> |
| 1039 | |
| 1040 | <p>Since this handler may be called recursively, it should not be saving |
| 1041 | information into global or static variables.</p> |

| 1056 | <p><strong>Note:</strong> |
| 1057 | The type of <code>arg</code> and the type of the first argument to the |
| 1058 | ExternalEntityRefHandler do not match. This function takes a |
| 1059 | <code>void *</code> to be passed to the handler, while the handler |

| 1062 | causing compiler warnings for code that's known to work with this |
