NAME

6       XML::LibXML::SAX - XML::LibXML direct SAX parser
7

DESCRIPTION

9       XML::LibXML provides an interface to libxml2 direct SAX interface.
10       Through this interface it is possible to generate SAX events directly
11       while parsing a document. While using the SAX parser XML::LibXML will
12       not create a DOM Document tree.
13
14       Such an interface is useful if very large XML documents have to be
15       processed and no DOM functions are required. By using this interface it
16       is possible to read data stored within an XML document directly into
17       the application data structures without loading the document into
18       memory.
19
20       The SAX interface of XML::LibXML is based on the famous XML::SAX
21       interface. It uses the generic interface as provided by XML::SAX::Base.
22
23       Additionally to the generic functions, which are only able to process
24       entire documents, XML::LibXML::SAX provides parse_chunk(). This method
25       generates SAX events from well balanced data such as is often provided
26       by databases.

FEATURES

29       NOTE: This feature is experimental.
30
31       You can enable character data joining which may yield a significant
32       speed boost in your XML processing in lower markup ratio situations by
33       enabling the http://xmlns.perl.org/sax/join-character-data feature of
34       this parser. This is done via the set_feature method like this:
35
36         $p->set_feature('http://xmlns.perl.org/sax/join-character-data', 1);
37
38       You can also specify a 0 to disable. The default is to have this
39       feature disabled.
