When lexing XML entities such as & and < these sequences are now
converted into their "actual" forms. In turn, Oga::XML::Text#to_xml ensures they
are encoded when the method is called.
Performance wise this puts some strain on the lexer, for every T_TEXT/T_STRING
node now potentially has to have its content modified. In the benchmark
xml/lexer/string_average_bench.rb the average processing time is now about the
same as before the improvements made in
8db77c0a09. I was hoping that the lexer would
still be a bit faster, but alas this is not the case. Doing this in native code
would be a nightmare as C doesn't have a proper string replacement function. I'm
not old/sadistic enough to write on myself just yet.
This fixes#49
This was a gimmick in the first place. It doesn't work well with IO instances
(= requires re-reading of the input), the code was too complex and it wasn't
that useful in the end. Lets just get rid of it.
This fixes#53.
Instead of using `namespace.name` lets just use `namespace_name`. This fixes the
problem of serializing attributes where the namespace prefix is "xmlns" as the
namespace for this isn't registered by default.
This fixes#47.
This API is a little bit dodgy (similar to Nokogiri's API) due to the use of
separate parser and handler classes. This is done to ensure that the return
values of callback methods (e.g. on_element) aren't used by Racc for building
AST trees. This also ensures that whatever variables are set by the handler
don't conflict with any variables of the parser.
This fixes#42.
While still a bit cryptic this is probably as best as we can get it. An example:
Oga.parse_xml("<namefoo:bar=\"10\"")
parser.rb:116:in `on_error': Unexpected string on line 1: (Racc::ParseError)
=> 1: <namefoo:bar="10"
This fixes#43.
When an XML element has no child nodes a self-closing tag is used. When parsing
documents/elements in HTML mode this is only done if the element is a so called
"void element" (e.g. <link> tags).
This fixes#46.
When the default namespace is registered (using xmlns="...") Oga now properly
sets the namespace of the container and all child elements.
This fixes#44.
This was originally reported by @jrochkind and partially patched by @billdueber.
My patches are built upon the latter, but without the need of using Array#map,
Array#join, etc. They also contain a few style changes.
This fixes#32 and #33.
The methods XML::Element#add_attribute and XML::Element#set can be used to more
easily add attributes to elements. The first method simply adds an Attribute
instance and links it to the element. This allows for fine grained control over
what data the attribute should contain. The second method ("set") simply sets an
attribute based on a name and value, optionally creating the attribute if it
doesn't already exist.
This ensures that Oga can lex the following properly:
<input value="" />
Previously Ragel would stop upon finding the empty string. This was caused due
to the string rules being declared as following:
string_dquote = (dquote ^dquote+ dquote);
string_squote = (squote ^squote+ squote);
These rules only match strings _with_ content, not without. Since Ragel stops
consuming input the moment it finds unhandled data this resulted in incorrect
tokens being emitted.
Previously this wouldn't display anything due to the IO object being exhausted.
To fix this the input has to be wound back to the start, which means re-reading
it. Sadly I can't think of a way around this that doesn't require buffering
lines while parsing them (which massively increases memory usage).
