Overview

The XML::Reader class provides a simpler, alternative way of parsing an XML document in contrast to XML::Parser or XML::SaxParser. A XML::Reader instance acts like a cursor going forward in a document stream, stopping at each node it encounters. To advance to the next node, simply cadd XML::Reader#read.

The XML::Reader API closely matches the DOM Core specification and supports namespaces, xml:base, entity handling and DTDs.

To summarize, XML::Reader provides a far simpler API to use versus XML::SaxParser and is more memory efficient than using XML::Parser to create a DOM tree.

Example:

reader = XML::Reader.string("<foo><bar>1</bar><bar>2</bar><bar>3</bar></foo>")
reader.read
assert_equal('foo', reader.name)
assert_nil(reader.value)

3.times do |i|
  reader.read
  assert_equal(XML::Reader::TYPE_ELEMENT, reader.node_type)
  assert_equal('bar', reader.name)
  reader.read
  assert_equal(XML::Reader::TYPE_TEXT, reader.node_type)
  assert_equal((i + 1).to_s, reader.value)
  reader.read
  assert_equal(XML::Reader::TYPE_END_ELEMENT, reader.node_type)
end

You can also parse documents (see XML::Reader.document), strings (see XML::Parser.string) and io objects (see XML::Parser.io).

For a more in depth tutorial, albeit in C, see xmlsoft.org/xmlreader.html.

}

.XML::Reader.file(path) ⇒ XML::Reader .XML::Reader.file(path, : encoding) ⇒ XML::Encoding::UTF_8

Creates a new reader by parsing the specified file or uri.

You may provide an optional hash table to control how the parsing is performed. Valid options are:

encoding - The document encoding, defaults to nil. Valid values
           are the encoding constants defined on XML::Encoding.
options - Controls the execution of the parser, defaults to 0.
          Valid values are the constants defined on
          XML::Parser::Options.  Mutliple options can be combined
          by using Bitwise OR (|).
