XML::Sablotron::DOM - The DOM interface to Sablotron's internal structures

  use XML::Sablotron::DOM;

  my $situa = new XML::Sablotron::Situation();
  my $doc = new XML::Sablotron::DOM::Document(SITUATION => $sit);

  my $e = $doc->createElement($situa, "foo");
  my $t = $doc->createTextNode($situa, "this is my text");

  print $doc->toString();

Sablotron uses internally the DOM-like data structures to represent parsed XML trees. In the CWsdom.h header file is defined a subset of functions allowing the DOM access to these structures.

You may find this module useful if you need to

* access parsed trees

* build trees on the fly

* pass parsed/built trees into XSLT processor

There is one significant extension to the DOM specification. Since Sablotron is designed to support multithreading processing (and well reentrant code too), you need create and use special context for error processing. This context is called the situation.

An instance of this object MUST be passed as the first parameter to almost all calls in the CWXML::Sablotron::DOM code.

Some easy-to-use default behavior may be introduced in later releases.

See CWperldoc XML::Sablotron for more details.

Perl objects representing nodes of the DOM tree live independently on internal structures of Sablotron. If you create and populate the document, its structure is not related to the lifecycle of your Perl variables. It is good for you, but there are two exceptions to this:

* freeing the document

* accessing the node after the document is destroyed

As results from above, you have to force XML::Sablotron::DOM to free document, if you want. Use

  $doc->freeDocument($sit);

to to it. Another way is to use the autodispode feature (see the documentation for the method autodispose and document constructor).

If you will try to access the node, which was previously disposed by Sablotron (perhaps with the all tree), your Perl code will die with exception -1. Use CWeval {}; to avoid program termination.

The CWXML::Sablotron::DOM defines several packages. Just will be created manually in your code; they are mostly returned as a return values from many functions.

The CWXML::Sablotron::DOM package is almost empty, and serves as a parent module for the other packages.

By default this module exports no symbols into the callers package. If want to use some predefined constants or functions, you may use

  use XML::Sablotron::DOM qw( :constants :functions );

Constants are defined for:

* node types

CWELEMENT_NODE, ATTRIBUTE_NODE, TEXT_NODE, CDATA_SECTION_NODE, ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE, ENTITY_NODE, PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE, COMMENT_NODE, DOCUMENT_NODE, DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE, DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE, NOTATION_NODE, OTHER_NODE

* exception codes
