Text.XML.Expat.Qualified

Description

In the default representation, qualified tag and attribute names such as <abc:hello> are represented just as a string containing a colon, e.g. "abc:hello".

This module provides functionality to handle these more intelligently, splitting all tag and attribute names into their Prefix and LocalPart components.

Synopsis

qnPrefix :: Maybe text

qnLocalPart :: !text

type QNodes text = Nodes (QName text) text

type QAttributes text = Attributes (QName text) text

mkQName :: text -> text -> QName text

mkAnQName :: text -> QName text

toQualified :: GenericXMLString text => UNode text -> QNode text

fromQualified :: GenericXMLString text => QNode text -> UNode text

Documentation

data QName text

Source

A qualified name.

Qualified names have two parts, a prefix and a local part. The local part is the name of the tag. The prefix scopes that name to a particular group of legal tags.

The prefix will usually be associated with a namespace URI. This is usually achieved by using xmlns attributes to bind prefixes to URIs.
