This module contains the core classes of version 2.0 of SAX for Python.
This file provides only default classes with absolutely minimum
functionality, from which drivers and applications can be subclassed.
Many of these classes are empty and are included only as documentation
of the interfaces.

# ===== XMLFILTER =====

A parser filter is an XMLReader that gets its events from another

primary source like a document or other non-SAX data source.
Filters can modify a stream of events before passing it on to its
handlers."""

# ===== DECLHANDLER =====
class DeclHandler:
"""Optional SAX2 handler for DTD declaration events.
Note that some DTD declarations are already reported through the
DTDHandler interface. All events reported to this handler will
occur between the startDTD and endDTD events of the
LexicalHandler.
To set the DeclHandler for an XMLReader, use the setProperty method
with the identifier http://xml.org/sax/handlers/DeclHandler."""

Only the first declaration will be reported. The type will be
one of the strings "CDATA", "ID", "IDREF", "IDREFS",
"NMTOKEN", "NMTOKENS", "ENTITY", "ENTITIES", or "NOTATION", or
a list of names (in the case of enumerated definitions).
elem_name is the element type name, attr_name the attribute
type name, type a string representing the attribute type,
value_def a string representing the default declaration
('#IMPLIED', '#REQUIRED', '#FIXED' or None). value is a string
representing the attribute's default value, or None if there
is none."""

model structure represented as tuple (separator, tokens, modifier)

','), tokens is the list of tokens (element type names or tuples
representing parentheses) and modifier is the quantity modifier
('*', '?' or '+')."""

public and system identifiers of the entity. public_id will be
None if none were declared."""
# ===== LEXICALHANDLER =====
class LexicalHandler:
"""Optional SAX2 handler for lexical events.
This handler is used to obtain lexical information about an XML
document, that is, information about how the document was encoded
(as opposed to what it contains, which is reported to the
ContentHandler), such as comments and CDATA marked section
boundaries.
To set the LexicalHandler of an XMLReader, use the setProperty
method with the property identifier
'http://xml.org/sax/handlers/LexicalHandler'. There is no
guarantee that the XMLReader will support or recognize this
property."""

DTD and outside the document element).

"""Report the start of the DTD declarations, if the document
has an associated DTD.
A startEntity event will be reported before declaration events
from the external DTD subset are reported, and this can be
used to infer from which subset DTD declarations derive.
name is the name of the document element type, public_id the
public identifier of the DTD (or None if none were supplied)
and system_id the system identfier of the external subset (or
None if none were supplied)."""

"""Report the beginning of an entity.
The start and end of the document entity is not reported. The
start and end of the external DTD subset is reported with the
pseudo-name '[dtd]'.
Skipped entities will be reported through the skippedEntity
event of the ContentHandler rather than through this event.
name is the name of the entity. If it is a parameter entity,
the name will begin with '%'."""

entity, and follows the same conventions as for
startEntity."""

through the characters event."""

information about a list of attributes for an element (only

scope of the DocumentHandler.startElement callback, and the
attributes will not necessarily be provided in the order declared

# ===== DOCUMENTHANDLER =====
class DocumentHandler:
"""Handle general document events. This is the main client
interface for SAX: it contains callbacks for the most important
document events, such as the start and end of elements. You need
to create an object that implements this interface, and then
register it with the Parser. If you do not want to implement
the entire interface, you can derive a class from HandlerBase,
which implements the default functionality. You can find the
location of any document event using the Locator interface
supplied by setDocumentLocator()."""

default behaviour for four SAX interfaces: EntityResolver,
DTDHandler, DocumentHandler, and ErrorHandler: rather
than implementing those full interfaces, you may simply extend
this class and override the methods that you need. Note that the
use of this class is optional (you are free to implement the
interfaces directly if you wish)."""
# ===== PARSER =====
class Parser:
"""Basic interface for SAX (Simple API for XML) parsers. All SAX
parsers must implement this basic interface: it allows users to
register handlers for different types of events and to initiate a
parse from a URI, a character stream, or a byte stream. SAX
parsers should also implement a zero-argument constructor."""
