Description : simple and fast incremental XML parser
Xml Pull Parser (in short XPP) is a streaming pull XML parser and
should be used when there is a need to process quickly and efficiently
all input elements (for example in SOAP processors). Pull parsing is
just one level up from tokenizing XML (and that is actually how XPP2
default implementation is done). This means that XPP is representing the
simplest way of processing XML that you can get (working with tokenizer
would be even lower level but is not simple and most of applications
would be much more complex to extract useful information from XML tokens
...). With XPP pull parser it is easy to build a next layer on top of it
such as standard SAX2 push model (a prototype SAX2 driver for XPP2 is
available). Every SAX2 parser has a tokenizer and a pull interface
buried inside and XPP2 exposes this layer allowing for faster XML
processing - and that is what I wanted to achieve in XPP2 and what makes
this project interesting :-)
.
XPP2 (the second version of XPP) consists of two parts: generic API and
its implementations. The implementations are pluggable and currently
available default one is optimized for size and speed and is not
exposing DTD, entities, comments, or processing instructions to the
user. Another one that will be using Xerces 2 XNI is under
development. On top of XPP2 parser I have built a very simple XML
document model API that allows to create XML node tree incrementally (so
only parts of XML document that user read from input are actually in
memory). As incremental and non-incremental node tree APIs are almost
identical the user may access incremental tree node not knowing that it
is constructed on demand! Please see an article on IBM developerWorks
<http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-injava/index.html>
where XPP2 document model is compared with other leading Java
implementations.
