By encoding single/double quotes we can potentially break input, so lets
stop doing this. This now ensures that this:
<foo>a"b</foo>
Is actually serialized back into the exact same instead of being
serialized into:
<foo>a"b</foo>
This allows for more fine grained control over when to close certain
elements. For example, an unclosed <tr> element should be closed first
when bumping into any element other than <td> or <th>. Using the old
NodeNameSet this would mean having to list every possible HTML element
out there. Using this new setup one can just create a whitelist of the
<td> and <th> elements.
When closing certain HTML elements the lexer should also close whatever
parent elements remain. For example, consider the following HTML:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Foo
<th>Bar
<tbody>
...
</tbody>
</table>
Here the "<tbody>" element shouldn't only close the "<th>Bar" element
but also the parent "<tr>" and "<thead>" elements. This ensures we'd end
up with the following HTML:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Foo</th>
<th>Bar</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
...
</tbody>
</table>
Instead of garbage along the lines of this:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Foo</th>
<th>Bar</th>
<tbody>
...
</tbody>
</table></tr></thead>
Fixes#99 (hopefully for good this time)
By using AST::Node#children directly with a splat we save ourselves an
extra method call. This in turn speeds up both the
xpath/evaluator/big_xml_average_bench.rb and
xpath/evaluator/node_matches_bench.rb benchmarks a little bit.
Using the benchmark xpath/evaluator/node_matches_bench.rb the results
prior to this commit were as following for 3 cases:
name only: 737633 i/s
namespace wildcard: 612196 i/s
name wildcard: 516030 i/s
With this commit said numbers have changed to the following:
name only: 746086 i/s
namespace wildcard: 1097168 i/s
name wildcard: 1151255 i/s
This results in the following increase of performance for each case:
name only: 1,011x (insignificant)
namespace wildcard: 1,79x
name wildcard: 2,23x
In the benchmark xpath/evaluator/big_xml_average_bench.rb the difference
isn't really noticable as said benchmark only queries elements by names,
of which the performance hasn't really improved.
This ensures that HTML such as this:
<li>foo
<li>bar
is parsed as this:
<li>foo</li>
<li>bar</li>
and not as this:
<li>
foo
<li>bar</li>
</li>
Fixes#97
This makes it easier to automatically insert preceding tokens when
starting a new element as we now have access to the name. Previously
on_element_start would be invoked first which doesn't receive an
argument.
The XML/HTML lexer is now capable of processing most invalid XML/HTML
(that I can think of at least). This is achieved by inserting missing
closing tags (where needed) and/or ignoring excessive closing tags. For
example, HTML such as this:
<a></a></p>
Results in the following tokens:
[:T_ELEM_START, nil, 1]
[:T_ELEM_NAME, 'a', 1]
[:T_ELEM_CLOSE, nil, 1]
In turn this HTML:
<a>
Results in these tokens:
[:T_ELEM_START, nil, 1]
[:T_ELEM_NAME, 'a', 1]
[:T_ELEM_CLOSE, nil, 1]
Fixes#84
Previously a single Ragel machine was used for processing HTML
script and style tags. This had the unfortunate side-effect that the
following was not parsed correctly (while being valid HTML):
<script>
var foo = "</style>";
</script>
The same applied to style tags:
<style>
/* </script> */
</style>
By using separate machines we can work around the above issue. The
downside is that this can produce multiple T_TEXT nodes, which have to
be stitched back together in the parser.
Similar to comments (ea8b4aa92f) and CDATA
tags (8acc7fc743) processing instructions
are now lexed in separate chunks _with_ proper support for streaming
input.
Related issue: #93
Instead of using a single token (T_CDATA) for a CDATA tag the lexer now
uses 3 tokens:
1. T_CDATA_START
2. T_CDATA_BODY
3. T_CDATA_END
The T_CDATA_BODY token can occur multiple times and is turned into a
single value in the XML parser. This is similar to the way strings are
lexed.
By changing the way CDATA tags are lexed Oga can now lex CDATA tags
containing newlines when using an IO as input. For example, this would
previously fail:
Oga.parse_xml(StringIO.new("<![CDATA[\nfoo]]>"))
Because IO input reads input per line the input for the lexer would be
as following:
"<![CDATA[\n"
"foo]]>"

This cache is flushed whenever Element#register_namespace is called.
When this cache is flushed it's also recursively flushed for all child
elements. This makes calls to Element#register_namespace a bit more
expensive but in turn calls to Element#available_namespaces will be a
lot faster.
The results of these methods is now cached until a Node is moved into
another NodeSet. This reduces the time spent in the
xpath/evaluator/big_xml_average_bench.rb benchmark from roughly 10
seconds to roughly 5 seconds per iteration.
In HTML the text of a script/style tag should be left untouched, no
entities must be converted. Doing so would break Javascript such as the
following:
foo&&bar;
Such code is often the result of minifiers doing their dirty business.
This was broken by introducing the process of lazy decoding of XML/HTML
entities. The new setup works similar to how XML::Text#text decodes any
entities that may be present.
Fixes#91
When querying an XML document that explicitly defines the default XML
namespace the XPath evaluator now correctly matches all nodes within
that namespace if no namespace prefix is given in the query. Previously
this would always return an empty set.
Instead of trying to make this class thread-safe I'm going with the
option of simply declaring it unsafe to mutate instances of XML::Text
while reading it in parallel. This removes the need for Mutex
allocations and keeps the code simple.
Fixes#82
Currently all operators are left-associative with no particular precedence. This
causes a few specs to fail for now. Outside of that the new parser should be
able to parse the same input as the Racc based parser.
Removing this makes the process of parsing larger XML documents a bit faster.
The downside is that NodeSet#initialize will no longer filter out duplicate
nodes, though this is not something Oga itself relies upon.
Methods such as NodeSet#push still do ignore elements already present.
This was utterly broken, mainly due to me overlooking it. There are now 2 new
callbacks to handle this properly:
* on_attribute: to handle a single attribute/value pair
* on_attributes: to handle a collection of attributes (as returned by
on_attribute)
By default on_attribut returns a Hash, on_attributes in turn merges all
attribute hashes into a single one. This ensures that on_element _actually_
receives the attributes as a Hash, instead of an Array with random
nil/XML::Attribute values.
Using Array#+ for large sets (e.g. in the benchmarks) is _really_ slow.
Interesting enough Array#unshift uses as much memory as the Racc parser and is
about as fast, even though it has to move memory around.
Instead of decoding entities in the lexer we'll do this whenever XML::Text#text
is called. This removes the overhead from the parsing phase and ensures the
process is only triggered when actually needed. Note that calling #to_xml and/or
the #inspect methods on a Text (or parent) instance will also trigger the entity
conversion process.
The new entity decoding API supports both regular entities (e.g. &) as well
as codepoint based entities (both regular and hexadecimal codepoints).
To allow safe read-only access to Text instances from multiple threads a mutex
is used. This mutex ensures that only 1 thread can trigger the conversion
process.
Fixes#68
This basically re-applies the technique used for HTML <script> tags. With this
extra addition I decided to rename/normalize a few things so it's easier to add
any extra tags in the future. One downside of this setup is that the following
will not be parsed by Oga:
<style>
</script>
</style>
The same applies to script tags containing a literal </style> tag. Since this
particular case is rather unlikely to occur I'm OK with not supporting it as it
_does_ simplify the lexer quite a bit.
Fixes#80
When lexing input in HTML mode the lexer has to treat _all_ content of a
<script> tag as plain text. This ensures that the lexer can process input such
as "x <y" and "// <foo>" correctly.
Fixes#70.
This changes the behaviour of after_element when parsing documents using the SAX
parsing API. Previously it would always receive a nil argument, which is kinda
pointless. This commit changes that by making sure it receives a namespace name
(if any) and the element name.
This fixes#54.
