Description

The class XmlContent is a kind of replacement for Read and Show: it provides conversions between a generic XML tree representation and your own more specialised typeful Haskell data trees.

If you are starting with a set of Haskell datatypes, use DrIFT to derive instances of this class for you: http://repetae.net/john/computer/haskell/DrIFT If you are starting with an XML DTD, use HaXml's tool DtdToHaskell to generate both the Haskell types and the corresponding instances.

This unified class interface replaces two previous (somewhat similar) classes: Haskell2Xml and Xml2Haskell. There was no real reason to have separate classes depending on how you originally defined your datatypes. However, some instances for basic types like lists will depend on which direction you are using. See Text.XML.HaXml.XmlContent and Text.XML.HaXml.XmlContent.Haskell.

class XmlAttributes a whereSource
The XmlAttributes class promises that a list of XML tag attributes can be converted to and from a Haskell value.
Methods
fromAttrs :: [Attribute] -> aSource
toAttrs :: a -> [Attribute]Source
class XmlAttrType a whereSource
The XmlAttrType class promises that an attribute taking an XML enumerated type can be converted to and from a Haskell value.
Methods
fromAttrToTyp :: String -> Attribute -> Maybe aSource
toAttrFrTyp :: String -> a -> Maybe AttributeSource
Auxiliaries for writing parsers in the XmlContent class
type XMLParser a = Parser (Content Posn) aSource
We need a parsing monad for reading generic XML Content into specific datatypes. This is a specialisation of the Text.ParserCombinators.Poly ones, where the input token type is fixed as XML Content.
content :: String -> XMLParser (Content Posn)Source
The most primitive combinator for XMLParser - get one content item.
posnElement :: [String] -> XMLParser (Posn, Element Posn)Source
A specialisation of posnElementWith (==).
element :: [String] -> XMLParser (Element Posn)Source
Get the next content element, checking that it has one of the required tags. (Skips over comments and whitespace, rejects text and refs.)
interior :: Element Posn -> XMLParser a -> XMLParser aSource
Run an XMLParser on the contents of the given element (i.e. not on the current monadic content sequence), checking that the contents are exhausted, before returning the calculated value within the current parser context.
inElement :: String -> XMLParser a -> XMLParser aSource
A combination of element + interior.
text :: XMLParser StringSource
text is a counterpart to element, parsing text content if it exists. Adjacent text and references are coalesced.
attributes :: XmlAttributes a => Element Posn -> XMLParser aSource
Do some parsing of the attributes of the given element
posnElementWith :: (String -> String -> Bool) -> [String] -> XMLParser (Posn, Element Posn)Source
Get the next content element, checking that it has one of the required tags, using the given matching function. (Skips over comments and whitespace, rejects text and refs. Also returns position of element.)
elementWith :: (String -> String -> Bool) -> [String] -> XMLParser (Element Posn)Source
Like element, only permits a more flexible match against the tagname.
inElementWith :: (String -> String -> Bool) -> String -> XMLParser a -> XMLParser aSource
A combination of elementWith + interior.
choice :: XmlContent a => (a -> b) -> XMLParser b -> XMLParser bSource
'choice f p' means if parseContents succeeds, apply f to the result, otherwise use the continuation parser.
definite :: XmlContent a => XMLParser a -> String -> String -> XMLParser aSource
not sure this is needed now. 'definite p' previously ensured that an element was definitely present. Now I think the monad might take care of that for us.
Auxiliaries for generating in the XmlContent class
mkElem :: XmlContent a => a -> [Content ()] -> Content ()Source
Generate an element with no attributes, named for its HType.
mkElemC :: String -> [Content ()] -> Content ()Source
Generate an element with no attributes, named directly.
mkAttr :: String -> String -> AttributeSource
Generate a single attribute.
toText :: String -> [Content ()]Source
Turn a simple string into XML text.
toCData :: String -> [Content ()]Source
Turn a string into an XML CDATA section. (i.e. special characters like & are preserved without interpretation.)
Auxiliaries for the attribute-related classes
maybeToAttr :: (String -> a -> Maybe Attribute) -> String -> Maybe a -> Maybe AttributeSource
defaultToAttr :: (String -> a -> Maybe Attribute) -> String -> Defaultable a -> Maybe AttributeSource
definiteA :: (String -> Attribute -> Maybe a) -> String -> String -> [Attribute] -> aSource
defaultA :: (String -> Attribute -> Maybe a) -> a -> String -> [Attribute] -> Defaultable aSource
possibleA :: (String -> Attribute -> Maybe a) -> String -> [Attribute] -> Maybe aSource
fromAttrToStr :: String -> Attribute -> Maybe StringSource
toAttrFrStr :: String -> String -> Maybe AttributeSource
data Defaultable aSource
If an attribute is defaultable, then it either takes the default value (which is omitted from the output), or a non-default value (which obviously must be printed).
Constructors
Default a
NonDefault a

Eq a => Eq (Defaultable a)
Show a => Show (Defaultable a)
str2attr :: String -> AttValueSource
attr2str :: AttValue -> StringSource
attval :: Read a => Element i -> aSource
Read a single attribute called value.
Explicit representation of Haskell datatype information
module Text.XML.HaXml.TypeMapping
Types useful for some content models
data List1 aSource
The List1 type represents lists with at least one element. It is required for DTD content models that use + as a modifier.
Constructors
NonEmpty [a]
show/hide Instances
??? a => Eq (List1 a)
HTypeable a => HTypeable (List1 a)
??? a => Show (List1 a)
XmlContent a => XmlContent (List1 a)
data ANYContent Source

A type corresponding to XML's ANY contentspec. It is either a list of unconverted xml Content or some XmlContent-able value.

Parsing functions (e.g. parseContents) will always produce UnConverted. Note: The Show instance for UnConverted uses verbatim.

Constructors
forall a . (XmlContent a, Show a) => ANYContent a
