NAME
    XML::LibXML::SAX - XML::LibXML direct SAX parser

DESCRIPTION
    XML::LibXML provides an interface to libxml2 direct SAX interface.
    Through this interface it is possible to generate SAX events directly
    while parsing a document. While using the SAX parser XML::LibXML will
    not create a DOM Document tree.

    Such an interface is useful if very large XML documents have to be
    processed and no DOM functions are required. By using this interface it
    is possible to read data stored within an XML document directly into the
    application data structures without loading the document into memory.

    The SAX interface of XML::LibXML is based on the famous XML::SAX
    interface. It uses the generic interface as provided by XML::SAX::Base.

    Additionally to the generic functions, which are only able to process
    entire documents, XML::LibXML::SAX provides *parse_chunk()*. This method
    generates SAX events from well balanced data such as is often provided
    by databases.

FEATURES
    *NOTE:* This feature is experimental.

    You can enable character data joining which may yield a significant
    speed boost in your XML processing in lower markup ratio situations by
    enabling the http://xmlns.perl.org/sax/join-character-data feature of
    this parser. This is done via the set_feature method like this:

      $p->set_feature('http://xmlns.perl.org/sax/join-character-data', 1);

    You can also specify a 0 to disable. The default is to have this feature
    disabled.
