Text.XML.Basic.Name

We provide a type class for tag and attribute names. Instances can be names that preserve case, names with lowercase letters as canonical representation.

types and classes

class Ord name => C name where

Methods

fromString :: String -> name

toString :: name -> String

Instances

Attribute ident => C (Name ident)

Tag ident => C (Name ident)

class Ord ident => Tag ident where

We need to distinguish between tag names and attribute names, because DOCTYPE as tag name must be written upper case, whereas as attribute name it may be written either way.

Methods

tagFromString :: String -> ident

tagToString :: ident -> String

Instances

Tag T

Tag T

Tag T

class Ord ident => Attribute ident where

Methods

attributeFromString :: String -> ident

attributeToString :: ident -> String
