Detailed Description

This is an abstract class that is used by CEGUI to interface with XML parser libraries.

Member Function Documentation

void CEGUI::XMLParser::cleanup ( void  )

Cleans up the XMLParser module after use.

Note that this calls the protected abstract method 'cleanupImpl', which should be provided in your implementation to perform any required cleanup.

Returns
Nothing.
virtual void CEGUI::XMLParser::cleanupImpl ( void  )
protectedpure virtual

abstract method which cleans up the XMLParser after use.

Returns
Nothing.

Implemented in CEGUI::XercesParser, CEGUI::ExpatParser, CEGUI::LibxmlParser, CEGUI::TinyXMLParser, and CEGUI::RapidXMLParser.

const String& CEGUI::XMLParser::getIdentifierString ( ) const

Return identification string for the XML parser module. If the internal id string has not been set by the XML parser module creator, a generic string of "Unknown XML parser" will be returned.

Returns
String object holding a string that identifies the XML parser in use.
bool CEGUI::XMLParser::initialise ( void  )

Initialises the XMLParser module ready for use.

Note that this calls the protected abstract method 'initialiseImpl', which should be provided in your implementation to perform any required initialisation.

Returns
  • true if the module initialised successfully.
  • false if the module initialisation failed.
virtual bool CEGUI::XMLParser::initialiseImpl ( void  )
protectedpure virtual

abstract method which initialises the XMLParser ready for use.

Returns
  • true if the module initialised successfully.
  • false if the module initialisation failed.

Implemented in CEGUI::XercesParser, CEGUI::ExpatParser, CEGUI::LibxmlParser, CEGUI::TinyXMLParser, and CEGUI::RapidXMLParser.

virtual void CEGUI::XMLParser::parseXML ( XMLHandler handler,
const RawDataContainer source,
const String schemaName 
)
pure virtual

abstract method which initiates parsing of an XML.

Parameters
handlerXMLHandler based object which will process the XML elements.
sourceRawDataContainer containing the data to parse
schemaNameString object holding the name of the XML schema file to use for validating the XML. Note that whether this is used or not is dependant upon the XMLParser in use.
Returns
Nothing.

Implemented in CEGUI::XercesParser, CEGUI::ExpatParser, CEGUI::LibxmlParser, CEGUI::TinyXMLParser, and CEGUI::RapidXMLParser.

virtual void CEGUI::XMLParser::parseXMLFile ( XMLHandler handler,
const String filename,
const String schemaName,
const String resourceGroup 
)
virtual

convenience method which initiates parsing of an XML file.

Parameters
handlerXMLHandler based object which will process the XML elements.
filenameString object holding the filename of the XML file to be parsed.
schemaNameString object holding the name of the XML schema file to use for validating the XML. Note that whether this is used or not is dependant upon the XMLParser in use.
resourceGroupString object holding the resource group identifier which will be passed to the ResourceProvider when loading the XML and schema files.
Returns
Nothing.
virtual void CEGUI::XMLParser::parseXMLString ( XMLHandler handler,
const String source,
const String schemaName 
)
virtual

convenience method which initiates parsing of an XML source from string.

Parameters
handlerXMLHandler based object which will process the XML elements.
sourceThe XML source passed as a String
schemaNameString object holding the name of the XML schema file to use for validating the XML. Note that whether this is used or not is dependant upon the XMLParser in use.
Returns
Nothing.
