AnyEven...:Parser(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

AnyEvent::XMPP::Parser — parser for XML streams (helper for AnyEvent::XMPP). Hii bestie, this page is from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the header names it AnyEven...:Parser(3) — yes, that abbreviation is giving cryptic group-chat nickname energy, but we move 💅.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use AnyEvent::XMPP::Parser;
...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This is a XMPP XML parser helper class, and its whole job is helping me cope with the XMPP XML. No cap, that's the assignment.

See also AnyEvent::XMPP::Writer for a discussion of the issues with XML in XMPP. Cross-reference icon behavior 💖.

💅 METHODS 💅

🎀 new

This creates a new AnyEvent::XMPP::Parser and calls init. Constructor main character energy, periodt.

🌟 set_stanza_cb ($cb)

Sets the 'XML stanza' callback.

$cb must be a code reference. The first argument to the callback will be this AnyEvent::XMPP::Parser instance, and the second will be the stanza's root AnyEvent::XMPP::Node as first argument.

If the second argument is undefined, the end of the stream has been found. So if it's undef, that's your stream-finishing moment, bestie 😭.

💀 set_error_cb ($cb)

This sets the error callback that will be called when the parser encounters a syntax error. The first argument is the exception, and the second is the data which caused the error. Error-handling slay, but make it careful ✨.

🦋 set_stream_cb ($cb)

This method sets the stream tag callback. It is called when the <stream> tag from the server has been encountered. The first argument to the callback is the AnyEvent::XMPP::Node of the opening stream tag. Stream-tag moment 🫶.

🌸 init

This method (re)initializes the parser. Reset button behavior, fresh-start vibe 💜.

🧚 cleanup

This method removes all handlers. Use it to avoid circular references. Cleanup era, literally iconic 🎀.

🔥 nseq ($namespace, $tagname, $cmptag)

This method checks whether the $cmptag matches the $tagname in the $namespace.

$cmptag needs to come from the XML::Parser::Expat as it has some magic attached that stores the namespace. Not me explaining Expat magic in the group chat, but here we are ✨.

🍓 feed ($data)

This method feeds a chunk of unparsed data to the parser. Feed it, bestie — it's hungry for XML chunks 💖.
