NAME

XML::Handler::BuildDOM - PerlSAX handler that creates XML::DOM document structures

 use XML::Handler::BuildDOM;
 use XML::Parser::PerlSAX;

 my $handler = new XML::Handler::BuildDOM (KeepCDATA => 1);
 my $parser = new XML::Parser::PerlSAX (Handler => $handler);

 my $doc = $parser->parsefile ("file.xml");

XML::Handler::BuildDOM creates XML::DOM document structures (i.e. XML::DOM::Document) from PerlSAX events.

This class used to be called XML::PerlSAX::DOM prior to libxml-enno 1.0.1.

The XML::Handler::BuildDOM constructor supports the following options:

* KeepCDATA => 1: If set to 0 (default), CDATASections will be converted to regular text. If undefined, start_document will extract it from Element or DocType (if set), otherwise it will create a new XML::DOM::Document. If undefined, it is set to Document. This will be the insertion point (or parent) for the nodes defined by the following callbacks. If undefined, start_document will extract it from Document (if possible). Otherwise it adds a new XML::DOM::DocumentType to the Document.
