Description

Pickler functions for converting between user defined data types and XmlTree data. Usefull for persistent storage and retreival of arbitray data as XML documents

This module is an adaptation of the pickler combinators developed by Andrew Kennedy ( http://research.microsoft.com/~akenn/fun/picklercombinators.pdf )

The difference to Kennedys approach is that the target is not a list of Chars but a list of XmlTrees. The basic picklers will convert data into XML text nodes. New are the picklers for creating elements and attributes.

One extension was neccessary: The unpickling may fail. Therefore the unpickler has a Maybe result type. Failure is used to unpickle optional elements (Maybe data) and lists of arbitray length

There is an example program demonstrating the use of the picklers for a none trivial data structure. (see "examples/arrows/pickle" directory)

Synopsis

Documentation

xpickleDocument :: PU a -> SysConfigList -> String -> IOStateArrow s a XmlTree Source #

store an arbitray value in a persistent XML document

The pickler converts a value into an XML tree, this is written out with writeDocument. The option list is passed to writeDocument

An option evaluated by this arrow is a_addDTD. If a_addDTD is set (v_1), the pickler DTD is added as an inline DTD into the document.

xunpickleDocument :: PU a -> SysConfigList -> String -> IOStateArrow s b a Source #

read an arbitray value from an XML document

The document is read with readDocument. Options are passed to readDocument. The conversion from XmlTree is done with the pickler.

xpickleDocument xp al dest >>> xunpickleDocument xp al' dest is the identity arrow when applied with the appropriate options. When during pickling indentation is switched on, the whitespace must be removed during unpickling.

xpickleWriteDTD :: PU b -> SysConfigList -> String -> IOStateArrow s b XmlTree Source #

Write out the DTD generated out of a pickler. Calls xpicklerDTD

xpickleDTD :: PU b -> IOStateArrow s b XmlTree Source #

The arrow for generating the DTD out of a pickler

A DTD is generated from a pickler and check for consistency. Errors concerning the DTD are issued.

checkPickler :: Eq a => PU a -> IOStateArrow s a a Source #

An arrow for checking picklers

A value is transformed into an XML document by a given pickler, the associated DTD is extracted from the pickler and checked, the document including the DTD is tranlated into a string, this string is read and validated against the included DTD, and unpickled. The last step is the equality with the input.

If the check succeeds, the arrow works like this, else it fails.

xpickleVal :: ArrowXml a => PU b -> a b XmlTree Source #

The arrow version of the pickler function

xunpickleVal :: PU b -> IOStateArrow s XmlTree b Source #

The arrow version of the unpickler function

thePicklerDTD :: PU b -> XmlTrees Source #

Compute the associated DTD of a pickler

a_addDTD :: String Source #

Option for generating and adding DTD when document is pickled

pickleDoc :: PU a -> a -> XmlTree Source #

conversion of an arbitrary value into an XML document tree.

The pickler, first parameter, controls the conversion process. Result is a complete document tree including a root node

unpickleDoc :: PU a -> XmlTree -> Maybe a Source #

Conversion of an XML document tree into an arbitrary data type

The inverse of pickleDoc. This law should hold for all picklers: unpickle px . pickle px $ v == Just v . Not every possible combination of picklers does make sense. For reconverting a value from an XML tree, is becomes neccessary, to introduce "enough" markup for unpickling the value

unpickleDoc' :: PU a -> XmlTree -> Either String a Source #

Like unpickleDoc but with a (sometimes) useful error message, when unpickling failed.

showPickled :: XmlPickler a => SysConfigList -> a -> String Source #

Pickles a value, then writes the document to a string.

Hopefully no one needs a xp25Tuple

xpAddFixedAttr :: String -> String -> PU a -> PU a Source #

Add/Check an attribute with a fixed value.

xpAddNSDecl :: String -> String -> PU a -> PU a Source #

Add a namespace declaration.

When generating XML the namespace decl is added, when reading a document, the unpickler checks whether there is a namespace declaration for the given namespace URI (2. arg)

xpAlt :: (a -> Int) -> [PU a] -> PU a Source #

Pickler for sum data types.

Every constructor is mapped to an index into the list of picklers. The index is used only during pickling, not during unpickling, there the 1. match is taken

xpAttr :: String -> PU a -> PU a Source #

convenient Pickler for xpAttrQN

xpAttr n = xpAttrQN (mkName n)

xpAttrImplied :: String -> PU a -> PU (Maybe a) Source #

Add an optional attribute for an optional value (Maybe a).

xpAttrNS :: String -> String -> String -> PU a -> PU a Source #

convenient Pickler for xpAttrQN

xpAttr ns px lp = xpAttrQN (mkQName px lp ns)

xpCheckEmpty :: PU a -> PU a Source #

Composition of xpCheckEmptyContents and xpCheckAttributes

xpCheckEmptyAttributes :: PU a -> PU a Source #

Like xpCheckEmptyContents, but checks the attribute list

xpCheckEmptyContents :: PU a -> PU a Source #

Check EOF pickler.

When pickling, this behaves like the unit pickler. The unpickler fails, when there is some unprocessed XML contents left.

xpTextAttr :: String -> PU String Source #

A text attribute.

xpChoice :: PU b -> PU a -> (a -> PU b) -> Unpickler b Source #

combine tow picklers with a choice

Run two picklers in sequence like with xpSeq. If during unpickling the first one fails, an alternative pickler (first argument) is applied. This pickler is only used as combinator for unpickling.

xpDefault :: Eq a => a -> PU a -> PU a Source #

Optional conversion with default value

The default value is not encoded in the XML document, during unpickling the default value is inserted if the pickler fails

xpElem :: String -> PU a -> PU a Source #

convenient Pickler for xpElemQN

xpElem n = xpElemQN (mkName n)

xpElemNS :: String -> String -> String -> PU a -> PU a Source #

convenient Pickler for xpElemQN for pickling elements with respect to namespaces

xpElemNS ns px lp = xpElemQN (mkQName px lp ns)

xpElemWithAttrValue :: String -> String -> String -> PU a -> PU a Source #

Pickler for wrapping/unwrapping data into an XML element with an attribute with given value

To make XML structures flexible but limit the number of different elements, it's sometimes useful to use a kind of generic element with a key value structure

Example:

<attr name="key1">value1</attr>
<attr name="key2">value2</attr>
<attr name="key3">value3</attr>

the Haskell datatype may look like this

type T = T { key1 :: Int ; key2 :: String ; key3 :: Double }

Then the picker for that type looks like this

xpT :: PU T
xpT = xpWrap ( uncurry3 T, \ t -> (key1 t, key2 t, key3 t) ) $
      xpTriple (xpElemWithAttrValue "attr" "name" "key1" $ xpickle)
               (xpElemWithAttrValue "attr" "name" "key2" $ xpText0)
               (xpElemWithAttrValue "attr" "name" "key3" $ xpickle)

xpFilterAttr :: LA XmlTree XmlTree -> PU a -> PU a Source #

Same as xpFilterCont but for the attribute list of the element currently processed.

Maybe useful to ignore some stuff in the input, e.g. class attributes, or to do some cleanup before unpickling.

xpFilterCont :: LA XmlTree XmlTree -> PU a -> PU a Source #

When unpickling, filter the contents of the element currently processed, before applying the pickler argument

Maybe useful to ignore some stuff in the input, or to do some cleanup before unpickling.

xpInt :: PU Int Source #

Pickle an Int

xpLift :: a -> PU a Source #

xpLiftMaybe :: Maybe a -> PU a Source #

Lift a Maybe value to a pickler.

Nothing is mapped to the zero pickler, Just x is pickled with xpLift x.

xpList :: PU a -> PU [a] Source #

Encoding of list values by pickling all list elements sequentially.

Unpickler relies on failure for detecting the end of the list. The standard pickler for lists. Can also be used in combination with xpWrap for constructing set and map picklers

xpList1 :: PU a -> PU [a] Source #

Encoding of a none empty list of values

Attention: when calling this pickler with an empty list, an internal error "head of empty list is raised".

xpMap :: Ord k => String -> String -> PU k -> PU v -> PU (Map k v) Source #

Standard pickler for maps

This pickler converts a map into a list of pairs. All key value pairs are mapped to an element with name (1.arg), the key is encoded as an attribute named by the 2. argument, the 3. arg is the pickler for the keys, the last one for the values

xpOption :: PU a -> PU (Maybe a) Source #

Encoding of optional data by ignoring the Nothing case during pickling and relying on failure during unpickling to recompute the Nothing case

The default pickler for Maybe types

xpPair :: PU a -> PU b -> PU (a, b) Source #

pickle a pair of values sequentially

Used for pairs or together with wrap for pickling algebraic data types with two components

xpPrim :: (Read a, Show a) => PU a Source #

Pickle an arbitrary value by applyling show during pickling and read during unpickling.

Real pickling is then done with xpText. One of the most often used pimitive picklers. Applicable for all types which are instances of Read and Show

xpSeq :: (b -> a) -> PU a -> (a -> PU b) -> PU b Source #

Combine two picklers sequentially.

If the first fails during unpickling, the whole unpickler fails

xpSeq' :: PU () -> PU a -> PU a Source #

First apply a fixed pickler/unpickler, then a 2. one

If the first fails during unpickling, the whole pickler fails. This can be used to check some properties of the input, e.g. whether a given fixed attribute or a namespace declaration exists (xpAddFixedAttr, xpAddNSDecl) or to filter the input, e.g. to ignore some elements or attributes (xpFilterCont, xpFilterAttr).

When pickling, this can be used to insert some fixed XML pieces, e.g. namespace declarations, class attributes or other stuff.

xpText :: PU String Source #

Pickle a string into an XML text node

One of the most often used primitive picklers. Attention: For pickling empty strings use xpText0. If the text has a more specific datatype than xsd:string, use xpTextDT

xpText0 :: PU String Source #

Pickle a possibly empty string into an XML node.

Must be used in all places, where empty strings are legal values. If the content of an element can be an empty string, this string disapears during storing the DOM into a document and reparse the document. So the empty text node becomes nothing, and the pickler must deliver an empty string, if there is no text node in the document.

xpTextDT :: Schema -> PU String Source #

Pickle a string into an XML text node

Text pickler with a description of the structure of the text by a schema. A schema for a data type can be defined by scDT. In Schema there are some more functions for creating simple datatype descriptions.

xpText0DT :: Schema -> PU String Source #

Pickle a possibly empty string with a datatype description into an XML node.

Like xpText0 but with extra Parameter for datatype description as in xpTextDT.

xpTree :: PU XmlTree Source #

Pickle an XmlTree by just adding it

Usefull for components of type XmlTree in other data structures

xpTrees :: PU [XmlTree] Source #

Pickle a whole list of XmlTrees by just adding the list, unpickle is done by taking all element contents.

This pickler should always be combined with xpElem for taking the whole contents of an element.

xpTriple :: PU a -> PU b -> PU c -> PU (a, b, c) Source #

Like xpPair but for triples

xpUnit :: PU () Source #

unit pickler

xpWrap :: (a -> b, b -> a) -> PU a -> PU b Source #

map value into another domain and apply pickler there

One of the most often used picklers.

xpWrapEither :: (a -> Either String b, b -> a) -> PU a -> PU b Source #

like xpWrap, but if the inverse mapping is undefined, the unpickler fails

Map a value into another domain. If the inverse mapping is undefined, the unpickler fails with an error message in the Left component

xpWrapMaybe :: (a -> Maybe b, b -> a) -> PU a -> PU b Source #

like xpWrap, but if the inverse mapping is undefined, the unpickler fails

Map a value into another domain. If the inverse mapping is undefined (Nothing), the unpickler fails

Deprecated: Use xpWrapEither, this gives better error messages

xpXmlText :: PU String Source #

Pickle a string representing XML contents by inserting the tree representation into the XML document.

Unpickling is done by converting the contents with xshowEscapeXml into a string, this function will escape all XML special chars, such that pickling the value back becomes save. Pickling is done with xread

xpZero :: String -> PU a Source #

The zero pickler

Encodes nothing, fails always during unpickling

data Schema Source #

The datatype for modelling the structure of an
