(** Streaming XML codec.
A well-formed sequence of {{!signal}signals} represents an
{{:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml}XML} document tree traversal in
depth first order (this has nothing to do with XML
well-formedness). Input pulls a well-formed sequence of signals
from a data source and output pushes a well-formed sequence of
signals to a data destination. Functions are provided to easily
transform sequences of signals to/from arborescent data structures.

The module assumes strings are immutable, thus strings

must not be modified.
{2:input Input}
{3:inenc Encoding}
The parser supports ASCII, US-ASCII,
{{:http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3629.html} UTF-8},
{{:http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2781.html} UTF-16},
{{:http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2781.html} UTF-16LE},
{{:http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2781.html} UTF-16BE} and
{{:http://anubis.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC2/WG3/docs/n411.pdf}ISO-8559-1}
(Latin-1) encoded documents. But strings returned by
the library are {b always} UTF-8 encoded.
The encoding can be specified explicitly using the optional
argument [enc]. Otherwise the parser uses UTF-16 or UTF-8 if there is a
{{:http://www.unicode.org/unicode/faq/utf_bom.html#BOM}BOM} at the
beginning of the document. If there is no BOM it uses the encoding
specified in the {{:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-XMLDecl} XML
declaration}. Finally, if there is no XML declaration UTF-8 is assumed.
{3:inwspace White space handling}
The parser performs
{{:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#AVNormalize}attribute data
normalization} on {e every} attribute data. This means that
attribute data does not have leading and trailling white space and that
any white space is collapsed and transformed to a single space
character ([U+0020]).
White space handling of character data depends on the [strip]
argument. If [strip] is [true], character data is treated like
attribute data, white space before and after elements is removed
and any white space is collapsed and transformed to a single
space character ([U+0020]), except if the data is under the scope of a {e
xml:space} attribute whose value is {e preserve}. If [strip] is
[false] all white space data is preserved as present in the
document (however all kinds of
{{:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-line-ends}line ends} are
translated to the newline character ([U+000A]). {3:inns Namespaces}
Xmlm's {{!name}names} are
{{:http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names11/#dt-expname}expanded names}.
The parser automatically handles the document's namespace
declarations. Undeclared namespace prefixes can be bound via the
callback [ns], which must return a namespace name. If [ns] returns
[None] an [`Unknown_ns_prefix] error is raised.
Attributes used for namespace declarations are preserved by the
parser. They are in the {!ns_xmlns} namespace. Default namespace
declarations made with {i xmlns} have the attribute name
[(Xmlm.ns_xmlns, "xmlns")]. Prefix declarations have the prefix as
the local name, for example {i xmlns:ex} results in the attribute name
[(Xmlm.ns_xmlns, "ex")].
Regarding constraints on the usage of the {i xml} and {i xmlns}
prefixes by documents, the parser does not report errors on violations
of the {i must} constraints listed in
{{:http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names11/#xmlReserved}this paragraph}.
{3:inentity Character and entity references}
{{:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-charref}Character references}
and {{:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-predefined-ent}predefined
entities} are automatically resolved. Other entity references can
be resolved by the callback [entity], which must return an UTF-8
string corresponding to the
replacement character data. The replacement data is {e not}
analysed for further references, it is added to the data as such
modulo white space stripping. If [entity] returns [None] the error
[`Unknown_entity_ref] is returned.
{3:iseq Sequences of documents (deprecated)}
{b WARNING.} This feature is deprecated and will be removed.
When a well-formed sequence of signals is input, no data is consumed beyond
the closing ['>'] of the document's root element.
If you want to parse a document as
{{:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-document}defined} in the XML
specification, call {!eoi} after a well-formed sequence of
signals, it must return [true]. If you expect another document on
the same input abstraction a new well-formed sequence of signals
can be {!input}. Use {!eoi} to check if a document follows (this
may consume data).
Invoking {!eoi} after a well-formed sequence of signals skips
whitespaces, comments and processing instructions until it gets to
either an {{:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-XMLDecl} XML
declaration} or a {{:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-doctype}DTD}
or the start of a new element or the end of input (in which case
{!eoi} returns [true]). If there is a new document but there is no
XML declaration or the declaration specifies UTF-16, the same
encoding as for the previous document is used.
{3:inmisc Miscellaneous}
{ul
{- Parses the more liberal and simpler XML 1.1
{{:http://www.w3.org/TR/xml11/#NT-Name}Name} definition (minus [':'] because
of namespaces).}
{- The {{:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-doctype}DTD} is parsed
roughly (no guarantee it is well formed) and its information is ignored.}
{- The parser drops
{{:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-comment}comments},

{- Attribute and character data chunks are limited by
[Sys.max_string_length].
The error [`Max_buffer_size] is raised if the limit is hit.}
{- Tail recursive.}
{- Non validating.}
}
{2:output Output}
{3:outenc Encoding}
Outputs only {{:http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3629.html} UTF-8}
encoded documents. Strings given to
output functions {b must be} UTF-8 encoded, no checks are
performed. Unicode characters that are not legal XML
{{:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-Char}characters} are replaced
by the {{:http://unicode.org/glossary/#replacement_character}Unicode
replacement character}.
{3:outns Namespaces}
Xmlm's {{:#TYPEname}names} are
{{:http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names11/#dt-expname}expanded names}.
Expanded names are automatically converted to
{{:http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names11/#dt-qualname}qualified
names} by the output abstraction. There is no particular api to specify
prefixes and default namespaces,
the actual result depends solely on the output
of attributes belonging to the {!ns_xmlns} namespace. For example to set
the default namespace of an element to {i http://example.org/myns},
use the following attribute :
{[(* xmlns='http://example.org/myns' *)
let default_ns = (Xmlm.ns_xmlns, "xmlns"), "http://example.org/myns"]}
To bind the prefix ["ex"] to {i http://example.org/ex}, use the
following attribute :
{[(* xmlns:ex='http://example.org/ex' *)
let ex_ns = (Xmlm.ns_xmlns, "ex"), "http://example.org/ex"]}
Note that outputing input signals without
touching namespace declaration attributes will preserve existing
prefixes and bindings provided the same namespace name is not
bound to different prefixes in a given context.
The callback [ns_prefix] of an output abstraction can be used to
give a prefix to a namespace name lacking a prefix binding in the
current output scope. Given a namespace name the function must return
the prefix to use. Note that this
will {b not} add any namespace declaration attribute to the
output. If the function returns [None], {!output} will raise
[Invalid_argument]. The default function returns always [None].
{3:outindent Indentation}
Output can be indented by specifying the [indent] argument when an
output abstraction is created. If [indent] is [None] (default)
signal output does not introduce any extra white space. If
[ident] is [Some c], each {!signal} is output on its own line
(for empty elements [`El_start] and [`El_end] are collapsed on a single
line) and nested elements are indented with [c] space
characters.
{3:oseq Sequences of documents (deprecated)}
{b WARNING.} This feature is deprecated and will be removed.
After a well-formed sequence of signals was output, the output
abstraction can be reused to output a new well-formed sequence of
signals.
{3:outmisc Miscellaneous}
{ul
{- Output on a channel does not flush it.}
{- In attribute and character data you provide, markup
delimiters ['<'],['>'],['&'], and ['\"'] are
automatically escaped to
{{:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-predefined-ent}predefined
entities}.}
{- No checks are peformed on the prefix and local part of output
names to verify they are
{{:http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names11/#NT-NCName}NCName}s.
For example using the tag name [("","dip d")] will produce
a non well-formed document because of the space character.}
{- Tail recursive.}}
{2 Tips}
{ul
{- The best options to do an input/output round trip
and preserve as much information as possible is to
input with [strip = false] and output with [indent = None].}
{- Complete whitespace control on output is achieved
with [indent = None] and suitable [`Data] signals}}
{1:ex Examples}
{2:exseq Sequential processing}
Sequential processing has the advantage that you don't need to get
the whole document tree in memory to process it.
The following function reads a {e single} document on an
input channel and outputs it.
{[let id ic oc =
let i = Xmlm.make_input (`Channel ic) in
let o = Xmlm.make_output (`Channel oc) in
let rec pull i o depth =
Xmlm.output o (Xmlm.peek i);
match Xmlm.input i with
| `El_start _ -> pull i o (depth + 1)
| `El_end -> if depth = 1 then () else pull i o (depth - 1)
| `Data _ -> pull i o depth
| `Dtd _ -> assert false
in
Xmlm.output o (Xmlm.input i); (* `Dtd *)
pull i o 0;
if not (Xmlm.eoi i) then invalid_arg "document not well-formed"]}
The following function reads a {e sequence} of documents on an
input channel and outputs it.
{[let id_seq ic oc =
let i = Xmlm.make_input (`Channel ic) in
let o = Xmlm.make_output ~nl:true (`Channel oc) in
while not (Xmlm.eoi i) do Xmlm.output o (Xmlm.input i) done]}
The following function reads a {e sequence} of documents on the
input channel. In each document's tree it prunes non root elements
whose name belongs to [prune_list].
{[let prune_docs prune_list ic oc =
let i = Xmlm.make_input (`Channel ic) in
let o = Xmlm.make_output ~nl:true (`Channel oc) in
let copy i o = Xmlm.output o (Xmlm.input i) in
let prune (name, _) = List.mem name prune_list in
let rec process i o d =
let rec skip i d = match Xmlm.input i with
| `El_start _ -> skip i (d + 1)
| `El_end -> if d = 1 then () else skip i (d - 1)
| s -> skip i d
in
match Xmlm.peek i with
| `El_start tag when prune tag -> skip i 0; process i o d
| `El_start _ -> copy i o; process i o (d + 1)
| `El_end -> copy i o; if d = 0 then () else process i o (d - 1)
| `Data _ -> copy i o; process i o d
| `Dtd _ -> assert false
in
let rec docs i o =
copy i o; (* `Dtd *)
copy i o; (* root start *)
process i o 0;
if Xmlm.eoi i then () else docs i o
in
docs i o]}
{2:extree Tree processing}
A document's sequence of signals can be easily converted
to an arborescent data structure. Assume your trees are defined by :
{[type tree = E of Xmlm.tag * tree list | D of string]}
The following functions input/output xml documents from/to abstractions
as value of type [tree].
{[let in_tree i =
let el tag childs = E (tag, childs) in
let data d = D d in
Xmlm.input_doc_tree ~el ~data i
let out_tree o t =
let frag = function
| E (tag, childs) -> `El (tag, childs)
| D d -> `Data d
in
Xmlm.output_doc_tree frag o t]}
{2:exrow Tabular data processing}
We show how to process XML data that represents tabular data (some
people like do that).
The file we need to deal with represents nominal data about
{{:http://www.w3.org/}W3C bureaucrats}. There are no namespaces
and attributes are ignored. The element structure of the document
is :
{ul {- <list>
{ul {- <bureaucrat> represents a W3C bureaucrat
(zero or more).
A bureaucrat contains the following elements, in order.
{ul {- <name> its name (mandatory, string).}
{- <surname> its surname (mandatory, string).}
{- <honest> present iff he implemented one of its spec
(optional, empty).}
{- <obfuscation_level> its grade on the
open scale of obfuscation (mandatory, float).}
{- <tr> (zero or more, string), technical reports he
worked on.}}}}}}
In OCaml we represent a W3C bureaucrat by this type :
{[type w3c_bureaucrat = {
name : string;
surname : string;
honest : bool;
