Overview

Description:

Ox handles XML documents in two ways. It is a generic XML parser and writer as well as a fast Object / XML marshaller. Ox was written for speed as a replacement for Nokogiri and for Marshal.

As an XML parser it is 2 or more times faster than Nokogiri and as a generic XML writer it is 14 times faster than Nokogiri. Of course different files may result in slightly different times.

As an Object serializer Ox is 4 times faster than the standard Ruby Marshal.dump(). Ox is 3 times faster than Marshal.load().

Object Dump Sample:

require 'ox'

class Sample
  attr_accessor :a, :b, :c

  def initialize(a, b, c)
    @a = a
    @b = b
    @c = c
  end
end

# Create Object
obj = Sample.new(1, "bee", ['x', :y, 7.0])
# Now dump the Object to an XML String.
xml = Ox.dump(obj)
# Convert the object back into a Sample Object.
obj2 = Ox.parse_obj(xml)

Generic XML Writing and Parsing:

require 'ox'

doc = Ox::Document.new(:version => '1.0')

top = Ox::Element.new('top')
top[:name] = 'sample'
doc << top

mid = Ox::Element.new('middle')
mid[:name] = 'second'
top << mid

bot = Ox::Element.new('bottom')
bot[:name] = 'third'
mid << bot

xml = Ox.dump(doc)
puts xml
doc2 = Ox.parse(xml)
puts "Same? #{doc == doc2}"

Class Method Summary

• .default_options ⇒ Hash

  Returns the default load and dump options as a Hash.

• .default_options=(opts) ⇒ Object

  Sets the default options for load and dump.

• .dump ⇒ Object
• .load(xml, options) ⇒ Ox::Document, ...

  Parses and XML document String into an Ox::Document, or Ox::Element, or Object depending on the options.

• .parse(xml) ⇒ Ox::Document, Ox::Element

  Parses and XML document String into an Ox::Document or Ox::Element.

• .parse_obj(xml) ⇒ Object

  Parses an XML document String that is in the object format and returns an Object of the type represented by the XML.

• .sax_html(handler, io, options) ⇒ Object

  Parses an IO stream or file containing an XML document.

• .sax_html_overlay ⇒ Hash

  Returns an overlay hash that can be modified and used as an overlay in the default options or in the sax_html() function call.

Class Method Details

.default_options ⇒ Hash

Returns the default load and dump options as a Hash. The options are

• :margin [String] left margin to inset when dumping

• :indent [Fixnum] number of spaces to indent each element in an XML document

• :trace [Fixnum] trace level where 0 is silent

• :encoding [String] character encoding for the XML file

• :with_dtd [true|false|nil] include DTD in the dump

• :with_instruct [true|false|nil] include instructions in the dump

• :with_xml [true|false|nil] include XML prolog in the dump

• :circular [true|false|nil] support circular references while dumping

• :xsd_date [true|false|nil] use XSD date format instead of decimal format

• :mode [:object|:generic|:limited|:hash|:hash_no_attrs|nil] load method to use for XML

• :effort [:strict|:tolerant|:auto_define] set the tolerance level for loading

• :symbolize_keys [true|false|nil] symbolize element attribute keys or leave as Strings

• :element_key_mod [Proc|nil] converts element keys on parse if not nil

• :attr_key_mod [Proc|nil] converts attribute keys on parse if not nil

• :skip [:skip_none|:skip_return|:skip_white|:skip_off] determines how to handle white space in text

• :smart [true|false|nil] flag indicating the SAX parser uses hints if available (use with html)

• :convert_special [true|false|nil] flag indicating special characters like < are converted with the SAX parser

• :invalid_replace [nil|String] replacement string for invalid XML characters on dump. nil indicates include anyway as hex. A string, limited to 10 characters will replace the invalid character with the replace.

• :no_empty [true|false|nil] flag indicating there should be no empty elements in a dump

• :strip_namespace [String|true|false] false or “” results in no namespace stripping. A string of “*” or true will strip all namespaces. Any other non-empty string indicates that matching namespaces will be stripped.

• :overlay [Hash] a Hash of keys that match html element names and values that are one of

  • :active - make the normal callback for the element

  • :nest_ok - active but the nesting check is ignored

  • :inactive - do not make the element start, end, or attribute callbacks for this element only

  • :block - block this and all children callbacks

  • :off - block this element and it’s children unless the child element is active

  • :abort - abort the html processing and return

return [Hash] all current option settings.

Note that an indent of less than zero will result in a tight one line output unless the text in the XML fields contain new line characters.

Returns:

• (Hash)

.dump ⇒ Object

.load(xml, options) ⇒ Ox::Document, ...

Parses and XML document String into an Ox::Document, or Ox::Element, or Object depending on the options. Raises an exception if the XML is malformed or the classes specified are not valid. If a block is given it will be called on the completion of each complete top level entity with that entity as it’s only argument.

• xml [String] XML String

• options [Hash] load options

  • :mode [:object|:generic|:limited] format expected

    • :object - object format

    • :generic - read as a generic XML file

    • :limited - read as a generic XML file but with callbacks on text and elements events only

    • :hash - read and convert to a Hash and core class objects only

    • :hash_no_attrs - read and convert to a Hash and core class objects only without capturing attributes

  • :effort [:strict|:tolerant|:auto_define] effort to use when an undefined class is encountered, default: :strict

    • :strict - raise an NameError for missing classes and modules

    • :tolerant - return nil for missing classes and modules

    • :auto_define - auto define missing classes and modules

  • :trace [Fixnum] trace level as a Fixnum, default: 0 (silent)

  • :symbolize_keys [true|false|nil] symbolize element attribute keys or leave as Strings

  • :invalid_replace [nil|String] replacement string for invalid XML characters on dump. nil indicates include anyway as hex. A string, limited to 10 characters will replace the invalid character with the replace.

  • :strip_namespace [String|true|false] “” or false result in no namespace stripping. A string of “*” or true will strip all namespaces. Any other non-empty string indicates that matching namespaces will be stripped.

Returns:

    • :hash_no_attrs - read and convert to a Hash and core class objects only without capturing attributes

  • :effort [:strict|:tolerant|:auto_define] effort to use when an undefined class is encountered, default: :strict

    • :strict - raise an NameError for missing classes and modules

    • :tolerant - return nil for missing classes and modules

    • :auto_define - auto define missing classes and modules

  • :trace [Fixnum] trace level as a Fixnum, default: 0 (silent)

  • :symbolize_keys [true|false|nil] symbolize element attribute keys or leave as Strings

  • :invalid_replace [nil|String] replacement string for invalid XML characters on dump. nil indicates include anyway as hex. A string, limited to 10 characters will replace the invalid character with the replace.

  • :strip_namespace [String|true|false] “” or false result in no namespace stripping. A string of “*” or true will strip all namespaces. Any other non-empty string indicates that matching namespaces will be stripped.

Returns:

.parse_obj(xml) ⇒ Object

Parses an XML document String that is in the object format and returns an Object of the type represented by the XML. This function expects an optimized XML formated String. For other formats use the more generic Ox.load() method. Raises an exception if the XML is malformed or the classes specified in the file are not valid.

Returns:

  • :skip [:skip_none|:skip_return|:skip_white|:skip_off] flag indicating the parser skips \r or collapse white space into a single space. Default (skip space)

  • :overlay [Hash] a Hash of keys that match html element names and values that are one of

    • :active - make the normal callback for the element

    • :nest_ok - active but ignore nest check
