Summary: XML parser/formatter based on expat
Description:
This package provides a general purpose Haskell XML library using Expat to do its parsing (<http://expat.sourceforge.net/> - a fast stream-oriented XML parser written in C). It is extensible to any string type, with @String@, @ByteString@ and @Text@ provided out of the box. Basic usage: Parsing a tree (/Tree/), formatting a tree (/Format/). Other features: Helpers for processing XML trees (/Proc/), trees annotated with XML source location (/Annotated/), extended XML trees with comments, processing instructions, etc (/Extended/), XML cursors (/Cursor/), SAX-style parse (/SAX/), and access to the low-level interface in case speed is paramount (/Internal.IO/). The design goals are speed, speed, speed, interface simplicity and modularity. For introduction and examples, see the /Text.XML.Expat.Tree/ module. For benchmarks, <http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hexpat/> If you want to do interactive I\/O, an obvious option is to use lazy parsing with one of the lazy I\/O functions such as hGetContents. However, this can be problematic in some applications because it doesn't handle I\/O errors properly and can give no guarantee of timely resource cleanup. Because of the generalized list, Hexpat is designed to allow for chunked I/O, but as of this writing I haven't done a nice integration with enumerator and friends. /IO/ is filed under /Internal/ because it's low-level and most users won't want it. The other /Internal/ modules are re-exported by /Annotated/, /Tree/ and /Extended/, so you won't need to import them directly. Credits to Iavor Diatchki and the @xml@ (XML.Light) package for /Proc/ and /Cursor/. Thanks to the many contributors. ChangeLog: 0.15 changes intended to fix a (rare) \"error: a C finalizer called back into Haskell.\" that seemed only to happen only on ghc6.12.X; 0.15.1 Fix broken Annotated parse; 0.16 switch from mtl to transformers; 0.17 fix mapNodeContainer & rename some things.; 0.18 rename defaultEncoding to overrideEncoding. 0.18.3 formatG and indent were demanding list items more than once (inefficient in chunked processing); 0.19 add Extended.hs; 0.19.1 fix a memory leak introduced in 0.19, delegate parsing to bound thread if unbound (see note above); 0.19.2 include expat source code so \'cabal install\' just works on Linux, Mac and Windows (thanks Jacob Stanley); 0.19.3 fix misconfiguration of expat which broke entity parsing; 0.19.4 bump version constraint for text; 0.19.5 bump text to < 0.12 and fix text-0.10.0.1 breakage; 0.19.6 dependency breakage with List; 0.19.7 ghc-7.2.1 compatibility; 0.19.8 fix space leak on lazy parse under ghc-7.2.1; 0.19.9 fix formatting of > character + improve performance; 0.19.10 ghc-7.4.x compatibility; 0.20.1 fix an unfortunate crash when used in parallel processing and greatly improve performance; 0.20.2 make parseSaxG lazier.
