class LibXML::Raw

Bindings to the libxml2 library

Synopsis

do {
    # Create a document from scratch
    use LibXML::Raw;
    my xmlDoc:D $doc .= new;
    my xmlElem:D $root = $doc.new-node: :name<Hello>, :content<World!>;
    .Reference for $doc, $root;
    $doc.SetRootElement($root);
    say $doc.Str; # .. <Hello>World!</Hello>
    # unreference/destroy before we go out of scope
    .Unreference for $root, $doc;
}

Description

The LibXML::Raw module contains class definitions for native bindings to the LibXML2 library.

Low level native access

Other high level classes, by convention, have a raw() accessor, which can be used, if needed, to gain access to native objects from this module.

Some care needs to be taken in keeping persistent references to raw structures.

The following is unsafe:

my LibXML::Element $elem .= new: :name<Test>;
my xmlElem:D $raw = $elem.raw;
$elem = Nil;
say $raw.Str; # could have been destroyed along with $elem

If the raw object supports the Reference and Unreference methods, the object can be reference counted and uncounted:

my LibXML::Element $elem .= new: :name<Test>;
my xmlElem:D $raw = $elem.raw;
$raw.Reference; # add a reference to the object
$elem = Nil;
say $raw.Str; # now safe
with $raw {
    .Unreference; # unreference, free if no more references
    $_ = Nil;
}

Otherwise, the object can usually be copied. That copy then needs to be freed, to avoid memory leaks:

my LibXML::Namespace $ns .= new: :prefix<foo>, :URI<http://foo.org>;
my xmlNs:D $raw = $ns.raw;
$raw .= Copy;
$ns = Nil;
say $raw.Str; # safe
with $raw {
    .Free; # free the copy
    $_ = Nil;
}

Callback for freeing some parser input allocations.

class LibXML::Raw::xmlParserNodeInfo

class LibXML::Raw::xmlXPathCompExpr

The structure of a compiled expression form is not public.

class LibXML::Raw::xmlPattern

A compiled (XPath based) pattern to select nodes

class LibXML::Raw::xmlValidState

Each xmlValidState represent the validation state associated to the set of nodes currently open from the document root to the current element.

class LibXML::Raw::xmlParserInput

Each entity parsed is associated an xmlParserInput (except the few predefined ones).

class LibXML::Raw::xmlElementContent

class LibXML::Raw::xmlSAXHandler

A SAX handler is bunch of callbacks called by the parser when processing of the input generate data or structure information.

class LibXML::Raw::xmlError

An XML Error instance.

class LibXML::Raw::xmlXPathContext

Expression evaluation occurs with respect to a context. the context consists of: - a node (the context node) - a node list (the context node list) - a set of variable bindings - a function library - the set of namespace declarations in scope for the expression

class LibXML::Raw::xmlXPathParserContext
