Name: hexpat
Version: 0.15.1
Synopsis: wrapper for expat, the fast XML parser
Description:
This package provides a general purpose Haskell XML library using Expat to
do its parsing ( - a fast stream-oriented XML
parser written in C). It is extensible to any string type, with @String@,
@ByteString@ and @Text@ provided out of the box.
.
Basic usage: Parsing a tree (/Tree/), formatting a tree (/Format/).
.
Other features: Helpers for processing XML trees (/Proc/), trees annotated with
XML source location (/Annotated/), XML cursors (/Cursor/), more intelligent
handling of qualified tag names (/Qualified/), tags qualified with namespaces
(/Namespaced/), SAX-style parse (/SAX/), and access to the low-level interface
in case speed is paramount (/IO/). And, /NodeClass/ contains type classes for
generalized tree processing.
.
The design goals are speed, speed, speed, interface simplicity and modularity
(in that order).
.
For introduction and examples, see the /Text.XML.Expat.Tree/ module. For benchmarks,
.
This package provides pure lazy parsing. However, Haskell's lazy I\/O is
problematic in some applications because it doesn't handle I\/O errors properly
and can give no guarantee of timely resource cleanup. In these cases, chunked
I\/O is a better approach: Take a look at the /hexpat-iteratee/ package.
.
Credits to Iavor Diatchki and the @xml@ (XML.Light) package for /Proc/ and /Cursor/.
.
INSTALLATION: Unix install requires an OS package called something like @libexpat-dev@.
On MacOSX, expat comes with Apple's optional X11 package, or you can install it from source.
To install on Windows, first install the Windows binary that's available from
, then type (assuming you're using v2.0.1):
.
@cabal install hexpat --extra-lib-dirs="C:\\Program Files\\Expat 2.0.1\\Bin" --extra-include-dirs="C:\\Program Files\\Expat 2.0.1\\Source\\Lib"@
.
Ensure @libexpat.dll@ can be found in your system PATH (or copy it into your executable's directory).
.
ChangeLog: 0.15 changes intended to fix a (rare) \"error: a C finalizer called back into Haskell.\"
that seemed only to happen only on ghc6.12.X; 0.15.1 Fix broken Annotated parse.
