NAME

       RPC::XML::Parser::XMLParser - A container class for XML::Parser

SYNOPSIS

           # This class should rarely (if ever) be used directly:

           use RPC::XML::ParserFactory 'XML::Parser';
           ...
           $P = RPC::XML::ParserFactory->new();
           $P->parse($message);

DESCRIPTION

       This class implements the interface defined in the RPC::XML::Parser factory-class (see
       RPC::XML::Parser) using the XML::Parser module to handle the actual manipulation of XML.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

       This module implements the public-facing methods as described in RPC::XML::Parser:

       new [ ARGS ]
           The constructor only recognizes the two parameters specified in the base class (for
           the RPC::XML::base64 file-spooling operations).

       parse [ STRING | STREAM ]
           The parse() method accepts either a string of XML, a filehandle of some sort, or no
           argument at all. In the latter case, the return value is a parser instance that acts
           as a push-parser (a non-blocking parser). For the first two types of input, the return
           value is either a message object (one of RPC::XML::request or RPC::XML::response) or
           an error.

       parse_more STRING
           (Only callable on a push-parser instance) Parses the chunk of XML, which does not have
           to describe a complete document, and adds it to the current running document. If this
           method is called on a parser instance that is not a push-parser, an exception is
           thrown.

       parse_done
           (Only callable on a push-parser instance) Finishes the parsing process and returns
           either a message object (one of RPC::XML::request or RPC::XML::response) or an error
           (if the document was incomplete, not well-formed, or not valid). If this method is
           called on a parser instance that is not a push-parser, an exception is thrown.

DIAGNOSTICS

       All methods return some type of reference on success. The new and parse methods return
       message strings on errors. The parse_more and parse_done methods may throw exceptions on
       errors, if the error occurs at the XML::Parser level.

EXTERNAL ENTITIES

       As of version 1.24 of this module (version 0.75 of the RPC::XML suite), external entities
       whose URI is a "file:/" scheme (local file) are explicitly ignored. This is for security
       purposes.
