4.1 XmlEvCleanPPCtx()

Cleans up intenal structures related to a parse operation. This will not destroy the event context. The event context can be reused after this call.

Syntax

xmlerr XmlEvCleanPPCtx(
   xmlctx *xctx,
   xmlevctx *evctx);

Parameter	In/Out	Description
xctx	IN	XML context
evtx	IN	XmlEvents context

Returns

(xmlerr) the error number

4.2 XmlEvCreatePPCtx()

Creates an Event context in pull-parse mode.

The document is loaded using XmlEvLoadPPDoc. The actual parsing is driven by multiple calls to XmlEvNext(). After each call, relevant information may be retrieved by calls to the various XmlEvGetXXX() functions. Basic set of properties are the same as for XmlLoadDom. Input source should be specified with XmlEvLoadPPDoc() call.

Syntax

xmlevctx *XmlEvCreatePPCtx(
   xmlctx *xctx, 
   xmlerr  *xerr,
   list);

Parameter In/Out Description

xctx

IN

XML context

xerr

IN

numeric error code, XMLERR_OK[0] on success

list

IN

These additional properties should be supplied with a terminal NULL:

("expand_entities", boolean) that, when FALSE, causes parsed non-parameter entity references not be expanded. By default such references are expanded.
("use_buffer", buffer) is the address of a buffer that when specified, will use the buffer to collect data that should be returned back to the user. The getXXX() functions will return this buffer as a data pointer.
("use_buffer_len", lengthOfBuffer) is the number of bytes in a buffer, the actual lenght of the buffer, and no more than the specified length is collected. In the case, only part of the data is collected, generating the CONT flavor of the event is generated. Subsequent calls to XmlEventsNext provide additional data. Sequence of CONT-flavored events is always terminated by a non -CONT event. The buffer may be only partially filled.
("get_id_callback", function) is the addres for the callback function, to convert text base names to 8-byte IDs. Once such function is supplied, the user is allowed to use XmlEvGetTagID, XmlEvGetAttrID, XmlEvGetTagUriID, and XmlEvGetAttrUriID.
("raw_buffer_len", length) is the number of bytes in a buffer. By default, this parameter is 256K. Raw buffer is used to read the input data and perform character conversion, and also to convert CRLFs and CRs to LFs.
("error_callback", callback) provides the address of a callback function tha is invoked to signal illegal use of an API for that event.

These optional parameters should be used in the following manner:

xmlevctx *XmlEvCreatePPCtx(
   xmlctx *xctx, 
   xmlerr  *xerr,
   ("expand_entities", mode),
   ("use_buffer", buffer),
   ("use_buffer_len", length),
