XML::L...kParser(3pm)

💖 XML::LibXML::SAX::ChunkParser — parse XML chunks via LibXML SAX 💖

okay so bestie, gather round, because this is one of those little modules that just gets it. It's XML::LibXML::SAX::ChunkParser, and yeah the name is a mouthful, but it's part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation fam and it lives in section 3pm. Let's go 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, this is the whole vibe right here:

  local $XML::SAX::ParserPackage = 'XML::LibXML::SAX::ChunkParser';
  my $parser = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->parser(Handler => $myhandler);

  $parser->parse_chunk($xml_chunk);

you set the package, you get your parser from the factory with your handler, and then you just keep feeding it chunks. iconic behavior honestly 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea 🍓 — this module uses XML::LibXML's parse_chunk (as opposed to parse_xml_chunk/parse_balanced_chunk, which is what XML::LibXML::SAX itself uses). different function, different girlies, iykyk.

and its whole purpose? it simply keeps parsing possibly incomplete XML fragments. like when you're reading from a socket and the XML is just arriving in dribs and drabs, being all mysterious and half-finished 😭 this module handles that. it does not freak out. it does not need the whole thing at once. it's giving patient main character energy.

---

🦋 METHODS 🦋

parse_chunk

parses a possibly incomplete XML fragment. feed it whatever you've got, bestie, it'll do its thing ✨

finish

explicitly tells the parser that we're done parsing. like when you finally hit send on a long text message — closure 💅
