NAME

6       XML::Filter::BufferText - Filter to put all characters() in one event
7

SYNOPSIS

9         my $h = SomeHandler->new;
10         my $f = XML::Filter::BufferText->new( Handler => $h );
11         my $p = SomeParser->new( Handler => $f );
12         $p->parse;
13

DESCRIPTION

15       This is a very simple filter. One common cause of grief (and programmer
16       error) is that XML parsers aren't required to provide character events
17       in one chunk. They can, but are not forced to, and most don't. This
18       filter does the trivial but oft-repeated task of putting all characters
19       into a single event.
20
21       Note that this won't help you cases such as:
22
23         <foo> blah <!-- comment --> phubar </foo>
24
25       In the above case, given the interleaving comment, there will be two
26       "character()" events. This may be worked around in the future if there
27       is demand for it.
28
29       An interesting way to use this filter, instead of telling users to use
30       it, is to return it from your handler's constructor, already configured
31       and all.  That'll make the buffering totally transparent to them
32       ("XML::SAX::Writer" does that).
