HaXml-1.19.7: Utilities for manipulating XML documents

Text.XML.HaXml.Xtract.Combinators

Description

This is a new set of XML combinators for Xtract, not standard, but based on the standard set in Text.Xml.Haxml.Combinators. The main difference is that the Content Filter type becomes a Double Filter. A Double Filter always takes the whole document as an extra argument, so you can start to traverse it again from the root, when at any inner location within the document tree.

The new combinator definitions are derived from the old ones. The same names have the equivalent meaning - use module qualification on imports to distinguish between CFilter and DFilter variations.

Synopsis

Documentation

type DFilter i = Content i -> Content i -> [Content i]Source

double content filter - takes document root + local subtree.

global :: CFilter i -> DFilter iSource

lift an ordinary content filter to a double filter.

dfilter :: DFilter i -> CFilter iSource

drop a double filter to an ordinary content filter. (permitting interior access to document root)

cfilter :: DFilter i -> CFilter iSource

drop a double filter to an ordinary content filter. (Where interior access to the document root is not needed, the retaining pointer to the outer element can be pruned away. cfilter is more space-efficient than dfilter in this situation.)

liftGlobal :: (CFilter i -> CFilter i) -> DFilter i -> DFilter iSource

lift a CFilter combinator to a DFilter combinator

o :: DFilter i -> DFilter i -> DFilter iSource

lifted composition over double filters.

(|>|) :: (a -> b -> [c]) -> (a -> b -> [c]) -> a -> b -> [c]Source

lifted choice.

union :: (a -> b -> [c]) -> (a -> b -> [c]) -> a -> b -> [c]Source

lifted union.

without :: DFilter i -> DFilter i -> DFilter iSource

lifted predicates.

none :: DFilter iSource

lifted unit and zero.

cat :: [a -> b -> [c]] -> a -> b -> [c]Source
