Constructor Detail

public XmlSlurper()

Creates a non-validating and namespace-aware XmlSlurper which does not allow DOCTYPE declarations in documents.

throws:

ParserConfigurationException if no parser which satisfies the requested configuration can be created.

throws:

SAXException for SAX errors.

public XmlSlurper(boolean validating, boolean namespaceAware)

Creates a XmlSlurper which does not allow DOCTYPE declarations in documents.

throws:

ParserConfigurationException if no parser which satisfies the requested configuration can be created.

throws:

SAXException for SAX errors.

Parameters:

validating - true if the parser should validate documents as they are parsed; false otherwise.

namespaceAware - true if the parser should provide support for XML namespaces; false otherwise.

public XmlSlurper(boolean validating, boolean namespaceAware, boolean allowDocTypeDeclaration)

Creates a XmlSlurper.

throws:

ParserConfigurationException if no parser which satisfies the requested configuration can be created.

throws:

SAXException for SAX errors.

Parameters:

validating - true if the parser should validate documents as they are parsed; false otherwise.

namespaceAware - true if the parser should provide support for XML namespaces; false otherwise.

allowDocTypeDeclaration - true if the parser should provide support for DOCTYPE declarations; false otherwise.

Method Detail

public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)

public void endDocument()

public void endElement(String namespaceURI, String localName, String qName)

public DTDHandler getDTDHandler()

public GPathResult getDocument()

Returns:

The GPathResult instance created by consuming a stream of SAX events Note if one of the parse methods has been called then this returns null Note if this is called more than once all calls after the first will return null

public EntityResolver getEntityResolver()

public ErrorHandler getErrorHandler()

public boolean getFeature(String uri)

public Object getProperty(String uri)

public void ignorableWhitespace(char[] buffer, int start, int len)

public boolean isKeepIgnorableWhitespace()

Returns:

true if ignorable whitespace is kept

public GPathResult parse(InputSource input)

Parse the content of the specified input source into a GPathResult object

throws:

SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

throws:

IOException An IO exception from the parser, possibly from a byte stream or character stream supplied by the application.

Parameters:

input - the InputSource to parse

Returns:

An object which supports GPath expressions

public GPathResult parse(File file)

Parses the content of the given file as XML turning it into a GPathResult object

throws:

SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

throws:

IOException An IO exception from the parser, possibly from a byte stream or character stream supplied by the application.

Parameters:

file - the File to parse

Returns:

An object which supports GPath expressions

public GPathResult parse(InputStream input)

Parse the content of the specified input stream into an GPathResult Object. Note that using this method will not provide the parser with any URI for which to find DTDs etc. It is up to you to close the InputStream after parsing is complete (if required).

throws:

SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

throws:

IOException An IO exception from the parser, possibly from a byte stream or character stream supplied by the application.

Parameters:

input - the InputStream to parse

Returns:

An object which supports GPath expressions

public GPathResult parse(Reader in)

Parse the content of the specified reader into a GPathResult Object. Note that using this method will not provide the parser with any URI for which to find DTDs etc. It is up to you to close the Reader after parsing is complete (if required).

throws:

SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

throws:

IOException An IO exception from the parser, possibly from a byte stream or character stream supplied by the application.

Parameters:

in - the Reader to parse

Returns:

An object which supports GPath expressions

public GPathResult parse(String uri)

Parse the content of the specified URI into a GPathResult Object

throws:

SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

throws:

IOException An IO exception from the parser, possibly from a byte stream or character stream supplied by the application.

Parameters:

uri - a String containing the URI to parse

Returns:

An object which supports GPath expressions

public GPathResult parseText(String text)

A helper method to parse the given text as XML

throws:

SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

throws:

IOException An IO exception from the parser, possibly from a byte stream or character stream supplied by the application.

Parameters:

text - a String containing XML to parse

Returns:

An object which supports GPath expressions

public void setDTDHandler(DTDHandler dtdHandler)

public void setEntityBaseUrl(URL base)

Resolves entities against using the supplied URL as the base for relative URLs

Parameters:

base - The URL used to resolve relative URLs

public void setEntityResolver(EntityResolver entityResolver)

public void setErrorHandler(ErrorHandler errorHandler)

public void setFeature(String uri, boolean value)

public void setKeepIgnorableWhitespace(boolean keepIgnorableWhitespace)

Parameters:

keepIgnorableWhitespace - If true then ignorable whitespace (i.e. whitespace before elements) is kept. The default is to discard the whitespace.

@Deprecated public void setKeepWhitespace(boolean keepWhitespace)

deprecated:

use setKeepIgnorableWhitespace

Parameters:

keepWhitespace - If true then whitespace before elements is kept. The default is to discard the whitespace.
