:mod:`xml.sax.handler` --- Base classes for SAX handlers
========================================================

.. module:: xml.sax.handler
   :synopsis: Base classes for SAX event handlers.

.. moduleauthor:: Lars Marius Garshol <larsga@garshol.priv.no>
.. sectionauthor:: Martin v. Löwis <martin@v.loewis.de>

**Source code:** :source:`Lib/xml/sax/handler.py`

--------------

The SAX API defines four kinds of handlers: content handlers, DTD handlers,
error handlers, and entity resolvers. Applications normally only need to
implement those interfaces whose events they are interested in; they can
implement the interfaces in a single object or in multiple objects. Handler
implementations should inherit from the base classes provided in the module
:mod:`xml.sax.handler`, so that all methods get default implementations.

.. class:: ContentHandler

This is the main callback interface in SAX, and the one most important to
   applications. The order of events in this interface mirrors the order of the
   information in the document.

.. class:: DTDHandler

Handle DTD events.

This interface specifies only those DTD events required for basic parsing
   (unparsed entities and attributes).

.. class:: EntityResolver

Basic interface for resolving entities. If you create an object implementing
   this interface, then register the object with your Parser, the parser will call
   the method in your object to resolve all external entities.

.. class:: ErrorHandler

Interface used by the parser to present error and warning messages to the
   application.  The methods of this object control whether errors are immediately
   converted to exceptions or are handled in some other way.

In addition to these classes, :mod:`xml.sax.handler` provides symbolic constants
for the feature and property names.

.. data:: feature_namespaces

| value: ``"http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces"``
   | true: Perform Namespace processing.
   | false: Optionally do not perform Namespace processing (implies
     namespace-prefixes; default).
   | access: (parsing) read-only; (not parsing) read/write

.. data:: feature_namespace_prefixes

| value: ``"http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes"``
   | true: Report the original prefixed names and attributes used for Namespace
     declarations.
   | false: Do not report attributes used for Namespace declarations, and
     optionally do not report original prefixed names (default).
   | access: (parsing) read-only; (not parsing) read/write

.. data:: feature_string_interning

| value: ``"http://xml.org/sax/features/string-interning"``
   | true: All element names, prefixes, attribute names, Namespace URIs, and
     local names are interned using the built-in intern function.
   | false: Names are not necessarily interned, although they may be (default).
   | access: (parsing) read-only; (not parsing) read/write

.. data:: feature_validation

| value: ``"http://xml.org/sax/features/validation"``
   | true: Report all validation errors (implies external-general-entities and
     external-parameter-entities).
   | false: Do not report validation errors.
   | access: (parsing) read-only; (not parsing) read/write

.. data:: feature_external_ges

| value: ``"http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities"``
   | true: Include all external general (text) entities.
   | false: Do not include external general entities.
   | access: (parsing) read-only; (not parsing) read/write

.. data:: feature_external_pes

| value: ``"http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities"``
   | true: Include all external parameter entities, including the external DTD
     subset.
   | false: Do not include any external parameter entities, even the external
     DTD subset.
   | access: (parsing) read-only; (not parsing) read/write

.. data:: all_features

List of all features.

.. data:: property_lexical_handler

| value: ``"http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler"``
   | data type: xml.sax.sax2lib.LexicalHandler (not supported in Python 2)
   | description: An optional extension handler for lexical events like
     comments.
   | access: read/write

.. data:: property_declaration_handler

| value: ``"http://xml.org/sax/properties/declaration-handler"``
   | data type: xml.sax.sax2lib.DeclHandler (not supported in Python 2)
   | description: An optional extension handler for DTD-related events other
     than notations and unparsed entities.
   | access: read/write

.. data:: property_dom_node

| value: ``"http://xml.org/sax/properties/dom-node"``

.. _content-handler-objects:

ContentHandler Objects
----------------------

Users are expected to subclass :class:`ContentHandler` to support their
application.  The following methods are called by the parser on the appropriate
events in the input document:

.. method:: ContentHandler.setDocumentLocator(locator)

Called by the parser to give the application a locator for locating the origin
   of document events.

SAX parsers are strongly encouraged (though not absolutely required) to supply a
   locator: if it does so, it must supply the locator to the application by
   invoking this method before invoking any of the other methods in the
   DocumentHandler interface.

The locator allows the application to determine the end position of any
   document-related event, even if the parser is not reporting an error. Typically,
   the application will use this information for reporting its own errors (such as
   character content that does not match an application's business rules). The
   information returned by the locator is probably not sufficient for use with a
   search engine.

Note that the locator will return correct information only during the invocation
   of the events in this interface. The application should not attempt to use it at
   any other time.

.. method:: ContentHandler.startDocument()

Receive notification of the beginning of a document.

The SAX parser will invoke this method only once, before any other methods in
   this interface or in DTDHandler (except for :meth:`setDocumentLocator`).

.. method:: ContentHandler.endDocument()

Receive notification of the end of a document.

The SAX parser will invoke this method only once, and it will be the last method
   invoked during the parse. The parser shall not invoke this method until it has
   either abandoned parsing (because of an unrecoverable error) or reached the end
   of input.

.. method:: ContentHandler.startPrefixMapping(prefix, uri)

Begin the scope of a prefix-URI Namespace mapping.

The information from this event is not necessary for normal Namespace
   processing: the SAX XML reader will automatically replace prefixes for element
   and attribute names when the ``feature_namespaces`` feature is enabled (the
   default).

There are cases, however, when applications need to use prefixes in character
   data or in attribute values, where they cannot safely be expanded automatically;
   the :meth:`startPrefixMapping` and :meth:`endPrefixMapping` events supply the
   information to the application to expand prefixes in those contexts itself, if
   necessary.

.. XXX This is not really the default, is it? MvL

Note that :meth:`startPrefixMapping` and :meth:`endPrefixMapping` events are not
   guaranteed to be properly nested relative to each-other: all
   :meth:`startPrefixMapping` events will occur before the corresponding
   :meth:`startElement` event, and all :meth:`endPrefixMapping` events will occur
   after the corresponding :meth:`endElement` event, but their order is not
   guaranteed.

.. method:: ContentHandler.endPrefixMapping(prefix)

End the scope of a prefix-URI mapping.

See :meth:`startPrefixMapping` for details. This event will always occur after
   the corresponding :meth:`endElement` event, but the order of
   :meth:`endPrefixMapping` events is not otherwise guaranteed.

.. method:: ContentHandler.startElement(name, attrs)

Signals the start of an element in non-namespace mode.

The *name* parameter contains the raw XML 1.0 name of the element type as a
   string and the *attrs* parameter holds an object of the
   :class:`~xml.sax.xmlreader.Attributes`
   interface (see :ref:`attributes-objects`) containing the attributes of
   the element.  The object passed as *attrs* may be re-used by the parser; holding
   on to a reference to it is not a reliable way to keep a copy of the attributes.
   To keep a copy of the attributes, use the :meth:`copy` method of the *attrs*
   object.

.. method:: ContentHandler.endElement(name)

Signals the end of an element in non-namespace mode.

The *name* parameter contains the name of the element type, just as with the
   :meth:`startElement` event.

.. method:: ContentHandler.startElementNS(name, qname, attrs)

Signals the start of an element in namespace mode.

The *name* parameter contains the name of the element type as a ``(uri,
   localname)`` tuple, the *qname* parameter contains the raw XML 1.0 name used in
   the source document, and the *attrs* parameter holds an instance of the
   :class:`~xml.sax.xmlreader.AttributesNS` interface (see
   :ref:`attributes-ns-objects`)
   containing the attributes of the element.  If no namespace is associated with
   the element, the *uri* component of *name* will be ``None``.  The object passed
   as *attrs* may be re-used by the parser; holding on to a reference to it is not
   a reliable way to keep a copy of the attributes.  To keep a copy of the
   attributes, use the :meth:`copy` method of the *attrs* object.

Parsers may set the *qname* parameter to ``None``, unless the
   ``feature_namespace_prefixes`` feature is activated.

.. method:: ContentHandler.endElementNS(name, qname)

Signals the end of an element in namespace mode.

The *name* parameter contains the name of the element type, just as with the
   :meth:`startElementNS` method, likewise the *qname* parameter.

.. method:: ContentHandler.characters(content)

Receive notification of character data.

The Parser will call this method to report each chunk of character data. SAX
   parsers may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk, or they may
   split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event
   must come from the same external entity so that the Locator provides useful
   information.

*content* may be a string or bytes instance; the ``expat`` reader module
   always produces strings.

.. note::

The earlier SAX 1 interface provided by the Python XML Special Interest Group
      used a more Java-like interface for this method.  Since most parsers used from
      Python did not take advantage of the older interface, the simpler signature was
      chosen to replace it.  To convert old code to the new interface, use *content*
      instead of slicing content with the old *offset* and *length* parameters.

.. method:: ContentHandler.ignorableWhitespace(whitespace)

Receive notification of ignorable whitespace in element content.

Validating Parsers must use this method to report each chunk of ignorable
   whitespace (see the W3C XML 1.0 recommendation, section 2.10): non-validating
   parsers may also use this method if they are capable of parsing and using
   content models.

SAX parsers may return all contiguous whitespace in a single chunk, or they may
   split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event
   must come from the same external entity, so that the Locator provides useful
   information.

.. method:: ContentHandler.processingInstruction(target, data)

Receive notification of a processing instruction.

The Parser will invoke this method once for each processing instruction found:
   note that processing instructions may occur before or after the main document
   element.

A SAX parser should never report an XML declaration (XML 1.0, section 2.8) or a
   text declaration (XML 1.0, section 4.3.1) using this method.

.. method:: ContentHandler.skippedEntity(name)

Receive notification of a skipped entity.

The Parser will invoke this method once for each entity skipped. Non-validating
   processors may skip entities if they have not seen the declarations (because,
   for example, the entity was declared in an external DTD subset). All processors
   may skip external entities, depending on the values of the
   ``feature_external_ges`` and the ``feature_external_pes`` properties.

.. _dtd-handler-objects:

DTDHandler Objects
------------------

:class:`DTDHandler` instances provide the following methods:

.. method:: DTDHandler.notationDecl(name, publicId, systemId)

Handle a notation declaration event.

.. method:: DTDHandler.unparsedEntityDecl(name, publicId, systemId, ndata)

Handle an unparsed entity declaration event.

.. _entity-resolver-objects:

EntityResolver Objects
----------------------

.. method:: EntityResolver.resolveEntity(publicId, systemId)

Resolve the system identifier of an entity and return either the system
   identifier to read from as a string, or an InputSource to read from. The default
   implementation returns *systemId*.

.. _sax-error-handler:

ErrorHandler Objects
--------------------

Objects with this interface are used to receive error and warning information
from the :class:`~xml.sax.xmlreader.XMLReader`.  If you create an object that
implements this interface, then register the object with your
:class:`~xml.sax.xmlreader.XMLReader`, the parser
will call the methods in your object to report all warnings and errors. There
are three levels of errors available: warnings, (possibly) recoverable errors,
and unrecoverable errors.  All methods take a :exc:`SAXParseException` as the
only parameter.  Errors and warnings may be converted to an exception by raising
the passed-in exception object.

.. method:: ErrorHandler.error(exception)

Called when the parser encounters a recoverable error.  If this method does not
   raise an exception, parsing may continue, but further document information
   should not be expected by the application.  Allowing the parser to continue may
   allow additional errors to be discovered in the input document.

.. method:: ErrorHandler.fatalError(exception)

Called when the parser encounters an error it cannot recover from; parsing is
   expected to terminate when this method returns.

.. method:: ErrorHandler.warning(exception)

Called when the parser presents minor warning information to the application.
   Parsing is expected to continue when this method returns, and document
   information will continue to be passed to the application. Raising an exception
   in this method will cause parsing to end.
