=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is a 'Bare' XML parser. It is implemented in C. The parser
itself is a simple state engine that is less than 500 lines of C. The
parser builds a C struct tree from input text. That C struct tree is
converted to a Perl hash by a Perl function that makes basic calls back
to the C to go through the nodes sequentially.

The parser itself will only cease parsing if it encounters tags that
are not closed properly. All other inputs will parse, even invalid
inputs. To allowing checking for validity, a schema checker is included
in the module as well.

The schema format is custom and is meant to be as simple as possible.
It is based loosely around the way multiplicity is handled in Perl
regular expressions.

=head2 Supported XML

To demonstrate what sort of XML is supported, consider the following
examples. Each of the PERL statements evaluates to true.

=over 2

=item * Node containing just text

  XML: <xml>blah</xml>
  PERL: $root->{xml}->{value} eq "blah";

=item * Subset nodes

  XML: <xml><name>Bob</name></xml>
  PERL: $root->{xml}->{name}->{value} eq "Bob";

=item * Attributes unquoted

  XML: <xml><a href=index.htm>Link</a></xml>
  PERL: $root->{xml}->{a}->{href}->{value} eq "index.htm";

=item * Attributes quoted

  XML: <xml><a href="index.htm">Link</a></xml>
  PERL: $root->{xml}->{a}->{href}->{value} eq "index.htm";

=item * CDATA nodes

  XML: <xml><raw><![CDATA[some raw $~<!bad xml<>]]></raw></xml>
  PERL: $root->{xml}->{raw}->{value} eq "some raw \$~<!bad xml<>";

=item * Multiple nodes; form array

  XML: <xml><item>1</item><item>2</item></xml>
  PERL: $root->{xml}->{item}->[0]->{value} eq "1";

=item * Forcing array creation

  XML: <xml><multi_item/><item>1</item></xml>
  PERL: $root->{xml}->{item}->[0]->{value} eq "1";

=item * One comment supported per node

  XML: <xml><!--test--></xml>
  PERL: $root->{xml}->{comment} eq 'test';

=back

=head2 Schema Checking

Schema checking is done by providing the module with an XBS (XML::Bare Schema) to check
the XML against. If the XML checks as valid against the schema, parsing will continue as
normal. If the XML is invalid, the parse function will die, providing information about
the failure.

The following information is provided in the error message:

=over 2

=item * The type of error

=item * Where the error occured ( line and char )

=item * A short snippet of the XML at the point of failure

=back

=head2 XBS ( XML::Bare Schema ) Format

=over 2

=item * Required nodes

  XML: <xml></xml>
  XBS: <xml/>

=item * Optional nodes - allow one

  XML: <xml></xml>
  XBS: <xml item?/>
  or XBS: <xml><item?/></xml>

=item * Optional nodes - allow 0 or more

  XML: <xml><item/></xml>
  XBS: <xml item*/>

=item * Required nodes - allow 1 or more

  XML: <xml><item/><item/></xml>
  XBS: <xml item+/>

=item * Nodes - specified minimum and maximum number

  XML: <xml><item/><item/></xml>
  XBS: <xml item{1,2}/>
  or XBS: <xml><item{1,2}/></xml>
  or XBS: <xml><item{1,2}></item{1,2}></xml>

=item * Multiple acceptable node formats

  XML: <xml><item type=box volume=20/><item type=line length=10/></xml>
  XBS: <xml><item type=box volume/><item type=line length/></xml>

=item * Regular expressions checking for values

  XML: <xml name=Bob dir=up num=10/>
  XBS: <xml name=[A-Za-z]+ dir=up|down num=[0-9]+/>

=item * Require multi_ tags

  XML: <xml><multi_item/></xml>
  XBS: <xml item@/>

=back

=head2 Parsed Hash Structure

The hash structure returned from XML parsing is created in a specific format.
Besides as described above, the structure contains some additional nodes in
order to preserve information that will allow that structure to be correctly
converted back to XML.
  
Nodes may contain the following 3 additional subnodes:

=over 2

=item * _i

The character offset within the original parsed XML of where the node
begins. This is used to provide line information for errors when XML
fails a schema check.

=item * _pos

This is a number indicating the ordering of nodes. It is used to allow
items in a perl hash to be sorted when writing back to xml. Note that
items are not sorted after parsing in order to save time if all you
are doing is reading and you do not care about the order.

In future versions of this module an option will be added to allow
you to sort your nodes so that you can read them in order.
( note that multiple nodes of the same name are stored in order )

=item * _att

This is a boolean value that exists and is 1 iff the node is an
attribute.

=back

=head2 Parsing Limitations / Features

=over 2

=item * CDATA parsed correctly, but stripped if unneeded

Currently the contents of a node that are CDATA are read and
put into the value hash, but the hash structure does not have
a value indicating the node contains CDATA.

When converting back to XML, the contents of the value hash
are parsed to check for xml incompatible data using a regular
expression. If 'CDATA like' stuff is encountered, the node
is output as CDATA.

=item * Node position stored, but hash remains unsorted

The ordering of nodes is noted using the '_pos' value, but
the hash itself is not ordered after parsing. Currently
items will be out of order when looking at them in the
hash.

Note that when converted back to XML, the nodes are then
sorted and output in the correct order to XML. Note that
nodes of the same name with the same parent will be
grouped together; the position of the first item to
appear will determine the output position of the group.

=item * Comments are parsed but only one is stored per node.

For each node, there can be a comment within it, and that
comment will be saved and output back when dumping to XML.

=item * Comments override output of immediate value

If a node contains only a comment node and a text value,
only the comment node will be displayed. This is in line
with treating a comment node as a node and only displaying
immediate values when a node contains no subnodes.

=item * PI sections are parsed, but discarded

=item * Unknown C<< <! >> sections are parsed, but discarded

=item * Attributes may use no quotes, single quotes, quotes, or backtics

=item * Quoted attributes cannot contain escaped quotes

No escape character is recognized within quotes. As a result,
regular quotes cannot be stored to XML, or the written XML
will not be correct, due to all attributes always being written
using quotes.

=item * Attributes are always written back to XML with quotes

=item * Nodes cannot contain subnodes as well as an immediate value

Actually nodes can in fact contain a value as well, but that
value will be discarded if you write back to XML. That value is
equal to the first continuous string of text besides a subnode.

  <node>text<subnode/>text2</node>
  ( the value of node is text )

  <node><subnode/>text</node>
  ( the value of node is text )

  <node>
    <subnode/>text
  </node>
  ( the value of node is "\n  " )
  
=item * Entities are not parsed

No entity parsing is done. This is intentional. Future versions of the module
may include a feature to automatically parse entities, but by default any such
feature will be disabled in order to keep from slowing down the parser.

Also, this is done so that round trip ( read and then write back out ) behavior
is consistent.

=item * Nodes named value

Previously iterations of this module had problems with nodes named 'value',
due to the fact that node contents are stored under the 'value' key already.
The current version should parse such files without any problem, although it
may be confusing to see a parsed tree with 'value' pointing to another hash
containing 'value' as well.

In a future version of the module it will be possible to alter the name that
values are stored under.

Note that node values are stored under the key 'content' when the "simple"
parsing mode is used, so as to be consistent with XML::Simple.

=head2 Module Functions

=over 2

=item * C<< $ob = XML::Bare->new( text => "[some xml]" ) >>

Create a new XML object, with the given text as the xml source.

=item * C<< $object = XML::Bare->new( file => "[filename]" ) >>

Create a new XML object, with the given filename/path as the xml source

=item * C<< $object = XML::Bare->new( text => "[some xml]", file => "[filename]" ) >>

Create a new XML object, with the given text as the xml input, and the given
filename/path as the potential output ( used by save() )

=item * C<< $object = XML::Bare->new( file => "data.xml", scheme => { file => "scheme.xbs" } ) >>

Create a new XML object and check to ensure it is valid xml by way of the XBS scheme.

=item * C<< $tree = $object->parse() >>

Parse the xml of the object and return a tree reference

=item * C<< $tree = $object->simple() >>

Alternate to the parse function which generates a tree similar to that
generated by XML::Simple. Note that the sets of nodes are turned into
arrays always, regardless of whether they have a 'name' attribute, unlike
XML::Simple.

Note that currently the generated tree cannot be used with any of the
functions in this module that operate upon trees. The function is provided
purely as a quick and dirty way to read simple XML files.

=item * C<< $tree = xmlin( $xmlext, keeproot => 1 ) >>

The xmlin function is a shortcut to creating an XML::Bare object and
parsing it using the simple function. It behaves similarly to the
XML::Simple function by the same name. The keeproot option is optional
and if left out the root node will be discarded, same as the function
in XML::Simple.

=item * C<< $text = $object->xml( [root] ) >>

Take the hash tree in [root] and turn it into cleanly indented ( 2 spaces )
XML text.

=item * C<< $text = $object->html( [root], [root node name] ) >>

Take the hash tree in [root] and turn it into nicely colorized and styled
html. [root node name] is optional.

=item * C<< $object->save() >>

The the current tree in the object, cleanly indent it, and save it
to the file parameter specified when creating the object.

=item * C<< $value = xval $node, $default >>

Returns the value of $node or $default if the node does not exist.
If default is not passed to the function, then '' is returned as
a default value when the node does not exist.

=item * C<< ( $name, $age ) = xget( $personnode, qw/name age/ ) >>

Shortcut function to grab a number of values from a node all at the
same time. Note that this function assumes that all of the subnodes
exist; it will fail if they do not.

=item * C<< $text = XML::Bare::clean( text => "[some xml]" ) >>

Shortcut to creating an xml object and immediately turning it into clean xml text.

=item * C<< $text = XML::Bare::clean( file => "[filename]" ) >>

Similar to previous.

=item * C<< XML::Bare::clean( file => "[filename]", save => 1 ) >>

Clean up the xml in the file, saving the results back to the file

=item * C<< XML::Bare::clean( text => "[some xml]", save => "[filename]" ) >>

Clean up the xml provided, and save it into the specified file.

=item * C<< XML::Bare::clean( file => "[filename1]", save => "[filename2]" ) >>

Clean up the xml in filename1 and save the results to filename2.

=item * C<< $html = XML::Bare::tohtml( text => "[some xml]", root => 'xml' ) >>

Shortcut to creating an xml object and immediately turning it into html.
Root is optional, and specifies the name of the root node for the xml
( which defaults to 'xml' )

=item * C<< $object->add_node( [node], [nodeset name], name => value, name2 => value2, ... ) >>

  Example:
    $object->add_node( $root->{xml}, 'item', name => 'Bob' );
    
  Result:
    <xml>
      <item>
        <name>Bob</name>
      </item>
    </xml>

=item * C<< $object->add_node_after( [node], [subnode within node to add after], [nodeset name], ... ) >>

=item * C<< $object->del_node( [node], [nodeset name], name => value ) >>

  Example:
    Starting XML:
      <xml>
        <a>
          <b>1</b>
        </a>
        <a>
          <b>2</b>
        </a>
      </xml>
      
    Code:
      $xml->del_node( $root->{xml}, 'a', b=>'1' );
    
    Ending XML:
      <xml>
        <a>
          <b>2</b>
        </a>
      </xml>

=item * C<< $object->find_node( [node], [nodeset name], name => value ) >>

  Example:
    Starting XML:
      <xml>
        <ob>
          <key>1</key>
          <val>a</val>
        </ob>
        <ob>
          <key>2</key>
          <val>b</val>
        </ob>
      </xml>
      
    Code:
      $object->find_node( $root->{xml}, 'ob', key => '1' )->{val}->{value} = 'test';
      
    Ending XML:
      <xml>
        <ob>
          <key>1</key>
          <val>test</val>
        </ob>
        <ob>
          <key>2</key>
          <val>b</val>
        </ob>
      </xml>

=item * C<< $object->find_by_perl( [nodeset], "[perl code]" ) >>

find_by_perl evaluates some perl code for each node in a set of nodes, and
returns the nodes where the perl code evaluates as true. In order to
easily reference node values, node values can be directly referred
to from within the perl code by the name of the node with a dash(-) in
front of the name. See the example below.

Note that this function returns an array reference as opposed to a single
node unlike the find_node function.

  Example:
    Starting XML:
      <xml>
        <ob>
          <key>1</key>
          <val>a</val>
        </ob>
        <ob>
          <key>2</key>
          <val>b</val>
        </ob>
      </xml>
      
    Code:
      $object->find_by_perl( $root->{xml}->{ob}, "-key eq '1'" )->[0]->{val}->{value} = 'test';
      
    Ending XML:
      <xml>
        <ob>
          <key>1</key>
          <val>test</val>
        </ob>
        <ob>
          <key>2</key>
          <val>b</val>
        </ob>
      </xml>

=item * C<< XML::Bare::merge( [nodeset1], [nodeset2], [id node name] ) >>

Merges the nodes from nodeset2 into nodeset1, matching the contents of
each node based up the content in the id node.

Example:

  Code:
    my $ob1 = new XML::Bare( text => "
      <xml>
        <multi_a/>
        <a>bob</a>
        <a>
          <id>1</id>
          <color>blue</color>
        </a>
      </xml>" );
    my $ob2 = new XML::Bare( text => "
      <xml>
        <multi_a/>
        <a>john</a>
        <a>
          <id>1</id>
          <name>bob</name>
          <bob>1</bob>
        </a>
      </xml>" );
    my $root1 = $ob1->parse();
    my $root2 = $ob2->parse();
    merge( $root1->{'xml'}->{'a'}, $root2->{'xml'}->{'a'}, 'id' );
    print $ob1->xml( $root1 );
  
  Output:
    <xml>
      <multi_a></multi_a>
      <a>bob</a>
      <a>
        <id>1</id>
        <color>blue</color>
        <name>bob</name>
        <bob>1</bob>
      </a>
    </xml>

=item * C<< XML::Bare::del_by_perl( ... ) >>

Works exactly like find_by_perl, but deletes whatever matches.

=item * C<< XML::Bare::forcearray( [noderef] ) >>

Turns the node reference into an array reference, whether that
node is just a single node, or is already an array reference.

=item * C<< XML::Bare::new_node( ... ) >>

Creates a new node...

=item * C<< XML::Bare::newhash( ... ) >>

Creates a new hash with the specified value.

=item * C<< XML::Bare::simplify( [noderef] ) >>

Take a node with children that have immediate values and
creates a hashref to reference those values by the name of
each child.

=item * C<< XML::Bare::hash2xml( [hashref] ) >>

Take a recursive hash tree ( perhaps generated by the simplify function ) and turn it
into a raw XML string. Note that this function does not indent nicely. You will need
to feed this string back into the parser and output it again if you want it to look
nice. ( or you could use the 'clean' function to do it in one go )

=item * C<< XML::Bare->new( text => "[xml]", unsafe => 1 ) >>

An extra speedy way to parse XML. It is unsafe; may harm pets and children. Don't
say you weren't warned. 30% speed boost compared to the normal parsing. You -must-
use $ob->simple() in combination with this for it to work properly.

The speed boost is gained by skipping checks for the end of the string when in the
middle of properly formatted XML. The only time the check is done is within "values"
( which includes the space after the final closing </xml> )

Also, in the unsafe mode, tags, complete with their attributes, must be on one line.
Node contents of course, can still have carriage returns...

=item * C<< $object->read_more( text => "[xml fragment]" ) >>

Add more XML text to be handled. Note that this function must be called before
calling the parse function.

Example:

  Code:
    my $ob = XML::Bare->new( text => "
      <xml>
        <node>a</node>" );
    $ob->read_more( text => "<node>b</node>" );
    $ob->read_more( text => "</xml>" );
    my $root = $ob->parse();
    print $ob->xml( $root );
  
  Output:
    <xml>
      <node>a</node>
      <node>b</node>
    </xml>

Warning! Reading in additional XML fragments only works properly at proper "division points".
Currently the parser will -not- work properly if you split in the middle of a node value, or
in the middle of a node name. A future version of the module will be properly updated to handle
these cases.

Currently there is little to no benefit to parsing this way, rather than simple concatenating
the two strings together and then reading all the XML in at once.

=head2 Controversy

Since the creation of this module there has been a fair amount of controvesy surrounding
it. A number of authors of other XML parsers have gone so far as to publicly attack this
module and claim that it 'does not parse XML', and 'it is not XML compliant'. Some of the
same people seem to be angered by the inclusion of a benchmark, claiming that it is an
unfair comparison, and that if the proper options and setup are used, that other XML
parsers are better.

The module should parse any XML document that conforms to the standardized
XML specifications, there is no need for alarm and fear that the module will corrupt
your XML documents on reading.

To be blunt about how the parser works, very little has been done to make the parser
follow the specification known as 'XML'. The parser is meant to be flexibile and somewhat
resilient, and will parse XML like garbage that would cause other parsers to error out.

As far as I am concerned, as the author of the module, the 'XML' in 'XML::Bare' should
be thought of to mean 'eXtremely Mad Language', because the module was written from
scratch without referring to the specification known as 'XML'.

In regard to the complaints about the unfairness of the included benchmarks, please
make your own intelligent decision as to what module you like by trying multiple
modules and/or running the performance tests yourself. If you like some other module,
use that module. If you like XML::Bare and think it is the fastest thing on the planet,
that is cool too.

If you hate XML::Bare and want to go around on the internet trashing it and telling
people to use something else, I think perhaps you may want to seek counseling.

=head2 Performance

In comparison to other available perl xml parsers that create trees, XML::Bare
is extremely fast. In order to measure the performance of loading and parsing
compared to the alternatives, a templated speed comparison mechanism has been
created and included with XML::Bare.

The include makebench.pl file runs when you make the module and creates perl
files within the bench directory corresponding to the .tmpl contained there.

Currently there are three types of modules that can be tested against,
executable parsers ( exe.tmpl ), tree parsers ( tree.tmpl ), and parsers
that do not generated trees ( notree.tmpl ).

A full list of modules currently tested against is as follows:

  EzXML (exe)
  Tiny XML (exe)
  XML::Descent (notree)
  XML::DOM
  XML::Fast
  XML::Grove::Builder
  XML::Handler::Trees
  XMLIO (exe)
  XML::LibXML (notree)
  XML::LibXML::Simple
  XML::Parser (notree)
  XML::Parser::EasyTree
  XML::Parser::Expat (notree)
  XML::SAX::Simple
  XML::Simple using XML::Parser
  XML::Simple using XML::SAX::PurePerl
  XML::Simple using XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser
  XML::Simple using XML::Bare::SAX::Parser
  XML::Smart
  XML::Twig
  XML::TreePP
  XML::Trivial
  XML::XPath::XMLParser

To run the comparisons, run the appropriate perl file within the
bench directory. ( exe.pl, tree.pl, or notree.pl )

The script measures the milliseconds of loading and parsing, and
compares the time against the time of XML::Bare. So a 7 means
it takes 7 times as long as XML::Bare.

Here is a combined table of the script run against each alternative
using the included test.xml:

These results show that XML::Bare is, at least on the
test machine, running all tests within cygwin, faster
at loading and parsing than everything being tested
against.

The following things are shown as well:
  - XML::Bare can parse XML and create a hash tree
  in less time than it takes LibXML just to parse.
  - XML::Bare can parse XML and create a tree
  in less time than all three binary parsers take
  just to parse.
  - XML::Fast is theoretically faster at parsing than
  the default 'full' mode of XML::Bare. Despite that,
  the 'simple' mode of XML::Bare is even faster.

Note that the executable parsers are not perl modules
and are timed using dummy programs that just uses the
library to load and parse the example files. The
executables are not included with this program. Any
source modifications used to generate the shown test
results can be found in the bench/src directory of
