Class NodeBuilder

source code

Builds a Node class minidom from data parsed to it. This class used for two purposes:
  1. Creation an XML Node from a textual representation. F.e. reading a config file. See an XML2Node method.
  2. Handling an incoming XML stream. This is done by mangling the __dispatch_depth parameter and redefining the dispatch method.
You do not need to use this class directly if you do not designing your own XML handler.

Method Details [hide private]

__init__(self, data=None, initial_node=None)
(Constructor)

source code 
Takes two optional parameters: "data" and "initial_node". By default class initialised with empty Node class instance. Though, if "initial_node" is provided it used as "starting point". You can think about it as of "node upgrade". "data" (if provided) feeded to parser immidiatedly after instance init.

starttag(self, tag, attrs)

source code 
XML Parser callback. Used internally

endtag(self, tag)

source code 
XML Parser callback. Used internally

handle_data(self, data)

source code 
XML Parser callback. Used internally

handle_namespace_start(self, prefix, uri)

source code 
XML Parser callback. Used internally

DEBUG(self, level, text, comment=None)

source code 
Gets all NodeBuilder walking events. Can be used for debugging if redefined.

dispatch(self, stanza)

source code 
Gets called when the NodeBuilder reaches some level of depth on it's way up with the built node as argument. Can be redefined to convert incoming XML stanzas to program events.
