Inherits from

Constructors

Name Description
this Constructs a DocumentParser.

Fields

Name Type Description
onEndTag void delegate(const(Element)) Register a handler which will be called whenever an end tag is encountered which matches the specified name. You can also pass null as the name, in which case the handler will be called for any unmatched end tag.
onStartTag void delegate(ElementParser) Register a handler which will be called whenever a start tag is encountered which matches the specified name. You can also pass null as the name, in which case the handler will be called for any unmatched start tag.

Properties

Name Type Description
onCData [set] void delegate(string) Register a handler which will be called whenever a character data segment is encountered.
onComment [set] void delegate(string) Register a handler which will be called whenever a comment is encountered.
onPI [set] void delegate(string) Register a handler which will be called whenever a processing instruction is encountered.
onText [set] void delegate(string) Register a handler which will be called whenever text is encountered.
onXI [set] void delegate(string) Register a handler which will be called whenever an XML instruction is encountered.
tag [get] const(Tag) The Tag at the start of the element being parsed. You can read this to determine the tag's name and attributes.

Methods

Name Description
factory Create instance of class specified by the fully qualified name classname. The class must either have no constructors or have a default constructor.
onTextRaw Register an alternative handler which will be called whenever text is encountered. This differs from onText in that onText will decode the text, whereas onTextRaw will not. This allows you to make design choices, since onText will be more accurate, but slower, while onTextRaw will be faster, but less accurate. Of course, you can still call decode() within your handler, if you want, but you'd probably want to use onTextRaw only in circumstances where you know that decoding is unnecessary.
opCmp Compare with another Object obj.
opEquals Returns !=0 if this object does have the same contents as obj.
parse Parse an XML element.
toHash Compute hash function for Object.
toString Returns that part of the element which has already been parsed
toString Convert Object to a human readable string.
