Class PullParser

java.lang.Object

org.gjt.xpp.impl.pullparser.PullParser

All Implemented Interfaces:

XmlPullParser, XmlPullParserBufferControl, XmlPullParserEventPosition

public class PullParser
extends Object
implements XmlPullParser, XmlPullParserBufferControl, XmlPullParserEventPosition

XML Pull Parser (XPP) allows to pull XML events from input stream. Advantages:

• very simple pull interface - ideal for deserializing XML objects (like SOAP)
• simple and efficient thin wrapper around Tokenizer class - when compared with using Tokenizer directly adds about 10% for big documents, maximum 50% more processing time for small documents
• lightweight memory model - minimized memory allocation: element content and attributes are only read on explicit method calls, both StartTag and EndTag can be reused during parsing
• small - total compiled size around 20K
• by default supports namespaces parsing (can be switched off)
• support for mixed content can be explicitly disabled

Limitations:

• this is beta version - may have still bugs :-)
• does not parse DTD (recognizes only predefined entities)

next

public byte next()
          throws XmlPullParserException,
IOException

This is key method - it reads more from input stream and returns next event type (such as START_TAG, END_TAG, CONTENT). or END_DOCUMENT if no more input.

This is simple automata (in pseudo-code):

byte next() {
   while(state != END_DOCUMENT) {
     token = tokenizer.next();  // get next XML token
     switch(token) {

     case Tokenizer.END_DOCUMENT:
       return state = END_DOCUMENT

     case Tokenizer.CONTENT:
       // check if content allowed - only inside element
       return state = CONTENT

    case Tokenizer.ETAG_NAME:
       // popup element from stack - compare if matched start and end tag
       // if namespaces supported restore namespaces prefix mappings
       return state = END_TAG;

     case Tokenizer.STAG_NAME:
       // create new  element push it on stack
       // process attributes (including namespaces)
       // set emptyElement = true; if empty element
       // check atribute uniqueness (including nmespacese prefixes)
       return state = START_TAG;

     }
   }
}

Actual parsing is more complex especilly for start tag due to dealing with attributes reported separately from tokenizer and declaring namespace prefixes and uris.

next in interface XmlPullParser

XmlPullParserException
