NAME
XML::NamespaceSupport - a simple generic namespace support class
SYNOPSIS
use XML::NamespaceSupport;
my $nsup = XML::NamespaceSupport->new;
# add a new empty context
$nsup->push_context;
# declare a few prefixes
$nsup->declare_prefix($prefix1, $uri1);
$nsup->declare_prefix($prefix2, $uri2);
# the same shorter
$nsup->declare_prefixes($prefix1 => $uri1, $prefix2 => $uri2);
# get a single prefix for a URI (randomly)
$prefix = $nsup->get_prefix($uri);
# get all prefixes for a URI (probably better)
@prefixes = $nsup->get_prefixes($uri);
# get all prefixes in scope
@prefixes = $nsup->get_prefixes();
# get all prefixes that were declared for the current scope
@prefixes = $nsup->get_declared_prefixes;
# get a URI for a given prefix
$uri = $nsup->get_uri($prefix);
# get info on a qname (java-ish way, it's a bit weird)
($ns_uri, $local_name, $qname) = $nsup->process_name($qname, $is_attr);
# the same, more perlish
($ns_uri, $prefix, $local_name) = $nsup->process_element_name($qname);
($ns_uri, $prefix, $local_name) = $nsup->process_attribute_name($qname);
# remove the current context
$nsup->pop_context;
# reset the object for reuse in another document
$nsup->reset;
# a simple helper to process Clarkian Notation
my ($ns, $lname) = $nsup->parse_jclark_notation('{http://foo}bar');
# or (given that it doesn't care about the object
my ($ns, $lname) = XML::NamespaceSupport->parse_jclark_notation('{http://foo}bar');
DESCRIPTION
This module offers a simple to process namespaced XML names (unames)
from within any application that may need them. It also helps maintain
a prefix to namespace URI map, and provides a number of basic checks.
The model for this module is SAX2's NamespaceSupport class, readable at
http://www.megginson.com/SAX/Java/javadoc/org/xml/sax/helpers/NamespaceSupport.html.
It adds a few perlisations where we thought it appropriate.
METHODS
- * XML::NamespaceSupport->new(\%options)
-
A simple constructor.
The options are xmlns, fatal_errors, and auto_prefix
If xmlns is turned on (it is off by default) the mapping from the
xmlns prefix to the URI defined for it in DOM level 2 is added to the
list of predefined mappings (which normally only contains the xml
prefix mapping).
If fatal_errors is turned off (it is on by default) a number of
validity errors will simply be flagged as failures, instead of
die()ing.
If auto_prefix is turned on (it is off by default) when one
provides a prefix of undef to declare_prefix it will generate a
random prefix mapped to that namespace. Otherwise an undef prefix will
trigger a warning (you should probably know what you're doing if you
turn this option on).
If xmlns_11 us turned off, it becomes illegal to undeclare namespace
prefixes. It is on by default. This behaviour is compliant with Namespaces
in XML 1.1, turning it off reverts you to version 1.0.
- * $nsup->push_context
-
Adds a new empty context to the stack. You can then populate it with
new prefixes defined at this level.
- * $nsup->pop_context
-
Removes the topmost context in the stack and reverts to the previous
one. It will die() if you try to pop more than you have pushed.
- * $nsup->declare_prefix($prefix, $uri)
-
Declares a mapping of $prefix to $uri, at the current level.
Note that with auto_prefix turned on, if you declare a prefix
mapping in which $prefix is undef(), you will get an automatic prefix
selected for you. If it is off you will get a warning.
This is useful when you deal with code that hasn't kept prefixes around
and need to reserialize the nodes. It also means that if you want to
set the default namespace (ie with an empty prefix) you must use the
empty string instead of undef. This behaviour is consistent with the
SAX 2.0 specification.
- * $nsup->declare_prefixes(%prefixes2uris)
-
Declares a mapping of several prefixes to URIs, at the current level.
- * $nsup->get_prefix($uri)
-
Returns a prefix given an URI. Note that as several prefixes may be
mapped to the same URI, it returns an arbitrary one. It'll return
undef on failure.
- * $nsup->get_prefixes($uri)
-
Returns an array of prefixes given an URI. It'll return all the
prefixes if the uri is undef.
- * $nsup->get_declared_prefixes
-
Returns an array of all the prefixes that have been declared within
this context, ie those that were declared on the last element, not
those that were declared above and are simply in scope.
- * $nsup->get_uri($prefix)
-
Returns a URI for a given prefix. Returns undef on failure.
- * $nsup->process_name($qname, $is_attr)
-
Given a qualified name and a boolean indicating whether this is an
attribute or another type of name (those are differently affected by
default namespaces), it returns a namespace URI, local name, qualified
name tuple. I know that that is a rather abnormal list to return, but
it is so for compatibility with the Java spec. See below for more
Perlish alternatives.
If the prefix is not declared, or if the name is not valid, it'll
either die or return undef depending on the current setting of
fatal_errors.
- * $nsup->undeclare_prefix($prefix);
-
Removes a namespace prefix from the current context. This function may
be used in SAX's end_prefix_mapping when there is fear that a namespace
declaration might be available outside their scope (which shouldn't
normally happen, but you never know ;). This may be needed in order to
properly support Namespace 1.1.
- * $nsup->process_element_name($qname)
-
Given a qualified name, it returns a namespace URI, prefix, and local
name tuple. This method applies to element names.
If the prefix is not declared, or if the name is not valid, it'll
either die or return undef depending on the current setting of
fatal_errors.
- * $nsup->process_attribute_name($qname)
-
Given a qualified name, it returns a namespace URI, prefix, and local
name tuple. This method applies to attribute names.
If the prefix is not declared, or if the name is not valid, it'll
either die or return undef depending on the current setting of
fatal_errors.
- * $nsup->reset
-
Resets the object so that it can be reused on another document.
All methods of the interface have an alias that is the name used in
the original Java specification. You can use either name
interchangeably. Here is the mapping:
Java name Perl name
---------------------------------------------------
pushContext push_context
popContext pop_context
declarePrefix declare_prefix
declarePrefixes declare_prefixes
getPrefix get_prefix
getPrefixes get_prefixes
getDeclaredPrefixes get_declared_prefixes
getURI get_uri
processName process_name
processElementName process_element_name
processAttributeName process_attribute_name
parseJClarkNotation parse_jclark_notation
undeclarePrefix undeclare_prefix
VARIABLES
Two global variables are made available to you. They used to be constants but
simple scalars are easier to use in a number of contexts. They are not
exported but can easily be accessed from any package, or copied into it.
- *
$NS_XMLNS
-
The namespace for xmlns prefixes, http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/.
- *
$NS_XML
-
The namespace for xml prefixes, http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace.
TODO
- add more tests
- optimise here and there
