🧑‍💻 NAME

XML::Handler::BuildDOM — PerlSAX handler that creates XML::DOM document structures

🚀 Quick Reference

📖 SYNOPSIS

use XML::Handler::BuildDOM;
use XML::Parser::PerlSAX;

my $handler = new XML::Handler::BuildDOM (KeepCDATA => 1);
my $parser = new XML::Parser::PerlSAX (Handler => $handler);

my $doc = $parser->parsefile ("file.xml");

📝 DESCRIPTION

XML::Handler::BuildDOM creates XML::DOM document structures (i.e. XML::DOM::Document) from PerlSAX events.

This class used to be called XML::PerlSAX::DOM prior to libxml-enno 1.0.1.

🔧 CONSTRUCTOR OPTIONS

The XML::Handler::BuildDOM constructor supports the following options:

• KeepCDATA => 1 — If set to 0 (default), CDATASections will be converted to regular text.
• Document => $doc — If undefined, start_document will extract it from Element or DocType (if set), otherwise it will create a new XML::DOM::Document.
• Element => $elem — If undefined, it is set to Document. This will be the insertion point (or parent) for the nodes defined by the following callbacks.
• DocType => $doctype — If undefined, start_document will extract it from Document (if possible). Otherwise it adds a new XML::DOM::DocumentType to the Document.
