NAME

       XML::Handler::BuildDOM - PerlSAX handler that creates XML::DOM document structures

SYNOPSIS

        use XML::Handler::BuildDOM;
        use XML::Parser::PerlSAX;

        my $handler = new XML::Handler::BuildDOM (KeepCDATA => 1);
        my $parser = new XML::Parser::PerlSAX (Handler => $handler);

        my $doc = $parser->parsefile ("file.xml");

DESCRIPTION

       XML::Handler::BuildDOM  creates  XML::DOM  document  structures  (i.e.  XML::DOM::Document)  from PerlSAX
       events.

       This class used to be called XML::PerlSAX::DOM prior to libxml-enno 1.0.1.

       CONSTRUCTOR OPTIONS

       The XML::Handler::BuildDOM constructor supports the following options:

       * KeepCDATA => 1
           If set to 0 (default), CDATASections will be converted to regular text.

       * Document => $doc
           If undefined, start_document will extract it from Element or DocType  (if  set),  otherwise  it  will
           create a new XML::DOM::Document.

       * Element => $elem
           If  undefined,  it  is  set  to  Document. This will be the insertion point (or parent) for the nodes
           defined by the following callbacks.

       * DocType => $doctype
           If undefined, start_document will extract it from Document (if possible).  Otherwise it  adds  a  new
           XML::DOM::DocumentType to the Document.
