Subject: [xsl] Anyone knows of an autocompleting SAX parser or filter? From: Gunther Schadow <gunther@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 05 Mar 2003 12:29:30 -0500 |
sometimes I transform large files and it takes long. What I then do is to take a snapshot of the XML output and load it into a text editor, cut incomplete tails off at a suitable point and then close all open tags. Then I can forward this file to other transforms.
Wouldn't it be nice if one could tell the SAX Parser (i.e. aelfred) that instead of throwing all hands up if the file ends prematurely, close all open tags and finish the file gracefully? Is there such a thing?
Since I am a disciple of Aelfred and Saxon I am most interested in a generic solution (not one that would ask me to migrate so some other parser). I could imagine a little SAX filter that would receive events from an upstream parser and keep a simple stack of open elements. Then if it receives a SAXParserException from the upstream parser, it will simply pop the elements to close from the stack and produce endElement events from those.
Simple enough that I will eventually just do it. But has anybody done it already?
thanks, -Gunther
PS: and no, I do not care whether the result document conforms to some schema or whether there may be broken forward references in the data. All I want is a well-formed output.
