I don't think anybody will be able to provide you with an exhaustive
list. I would imagine the only factor that can result in an serious
memory usage growth is the nesting of elements in your XML. But the
only sure way to find out is to try some real code on some real XML.

I did such measurements for XSD/e -- an XML parser generator for
embedded systems -- that uses Expat underneath. Thought you might
be interested:

Subject: [Expat-discuss] New release comping up
Message-ID: <4644A4DD.5000202@waclawek.net>

There is a new Expat release (2.0.1) coming up.
As always, once there is activity, we get even more suggestions for 
fixes and changes.
Most of them concerned the build system this time.

As we have committed a few patches recently, one of them actually being 
a code change,
I would urge everyone to check out from CVS and run Expat through the 
build and your
Expat dependent applications you may have, so that we can avoid leaving 
Expat unreleased
for a while just to get these changes tested sufficiently.

Subject: [Expat-discuss] Parser benchmarks article
Message-ID: <200705112304.43386.fdrake@acm.org>

O'Reilly's "XML.com" site just published an article comparing several popular 
parsers for performance:

  http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2007/05/09/xml-parser-benchmarks-part-1.html

The article is heavily biased toward Java implementations (reflecting a sad 
state of the entire industry), but it did show that the only C implementation 
tested performed much better than the Java implementations for the 
event-based parsing.

The second benchmark measured performance of the StAX parsers, which is a Java 
specification; there are non-Java equivalents (as I understand it), but I 
don't know if there's a C implementation of a similar API.  I pretty much 
ignored that, since I've no interest in Java-based parsers.

What disappointed me about the article was that only one C implementation was 
considered, and it wasn't Expat.  I'd love to see a good comparison of Expat 
with the libxml2 library.

Fred,

why don't you add a comment to that article (if you are a member of 
xml.com).
There are 3 year old benchmarks at http://xmlbench.sourceforge.net/.
Expat is somewhat faster than libxml there.

Message-ID: <f5278eb70705150902m666cabafr2e6145f3f84c70b@mail.gmail.com>

Can someone help me with this code. It is trying to convert an XML file of
book data to tab-deliminated. Should be simple, but it seems to mangle about
200 of the 10000 records I give it. Supplying each record by itself, it
works fine. I don't understand why, but not being a C programmer, I dare say
I am mangling pointers, or there is a multithread issue I don't understand.

here is a typical error:
given lines 3380-3383 in a 917682 long XML file (it is well-formed according
to xmlwf):

<record>
<ISBN10>0816044384</ISBN10>
<ISBN13>9780816044382</ISBN13>
<EAN>9780816044382</EAN>
...
</record>

the data given to the data handler (and printed to stderr) is:

Data: 9780816   Data: 044382
Error : isbn10: 0816044384      isbn: 382       isbn13: 044382
Data:
Data: 9780816044382

So in this case, ISBN10 was correct, but ISBN13 only got the last 6 digits
on the first call, but managed to get all the data on the third call (the
second call gives a blank line! why?)

If you give just this XML record to the program, it works fine.

Any help greatly appreciated

take a look at expat-2.0.0/examples/outline.c in your distro (some previous Expat versions bring this example too).

------------------------------------------------------------
I don't see any threads in your code so I don't
think this could be the case. To me it seems it
is the way you talk to Expat.
------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------
Expat reports (and must do so) all text in the
XML file *including whitespace*.
In your your code I found this line in the character
data handler:

   fprintf(stderr,"Data: %s\t",temp);

Let me use square brackets to visualize what Expat
is passing you:

   <ISBN13>[9780816][044382]</ISBN13>[
   ]<EAN>[9780816044382]</EAN>

That also makes sense to me since that's the only
place where the newline can come from. So to solve
this you will have to
 * Concatenate the chunks passed to the char handler
 * Look out what element you are in

But there is more you might want to re-consider in
your current code:
 * If you use a fixed buffer of <BUFSIZE> byte
   you have to make sure you don't write <len>
   bytes in if its value is greater
   (-> buffer overflows!).
 * <struct book> is pure waste of memory in case
   you can have books with only two numbers, not all.
   I would suggest to switch to pointers and dynamic
   allocation then.
 * In <void storeData> you do many calls to strcmp
   but forgot to put "else" before the "if".
   Currently a tag will be matched against "ISBN10",
   "ISBN13" and so on, even if it matched "ISBN10"
   already.

The data between your tag can be splitted and sent to your handler in separate calls.
It is stated in the docs.

Your handler can be called with 08160 and then with 44384

Be aware of two things: 1. in XML, whitespace /is/ significant, and 2. 
in Expat the character data handler may be called multiple times, 
sequentially, with partial data.

In your case, you haven't indicated the definition of BUFSIZ. Let's 
assume that BUFSIZ is 256. If you read a file in 256-byte chunks, in all 
likelihood at some point you're going to split a chunk of CData. In this 
case, Expat will call the character data handler (or text handler) with 
the partial data, return to the main method to get more data, then call 
the handler with the remainder of the CData.

Try this:

Set a StartElement handler. When the handler is called, save the name of 
the element and set the start of the output buffer to zero. Now, every 
time the CharacterData handler is called, _and_ we are inside an element 
which can contain CData, /add/ the data to the output buffer. When the 
EndElement handler is called, check to make sure that it matches the 
start element (just in case the XML is badly formed) /then/ store the 
element name (or some translation thereof) and the output buffer you 
have accumulated.

Of course, you may need to add code to deal with potential nested 
elements, but that is left as an exercise for the reader.

Brilliant, Lee, that would explain things. I did wonder if something like
that was going on.

I will do as you suggest and add chunks of text together.

Strangely I managed to have more success using Perl's wrapper around expat,
and perl. However, that takes 2 hours to run instead of 30 seconds!

Thanks again for you help,

Ben

This is a very common mistake.  Your character data handler is not
guaranteed
to get all the data between element tags in one go.  You need to
concatenate
the data until you see the end element tag.

To the whole list: Is there a FAQ for v2.0?  This really ought to go in
one.

Thanks for Mark and Lee for helping me out, it was indeed a problem of not
concatenating data.

Yes, certainly should be in an FAQ.

Thanks to everyone for helping,

There is an other way to install it, use 'fink' and 'apt-get  
Install' ...

Now if you are sure installation has done correctly, may be you can  
use in terminal console command:
locate expat.h

see (man locate)
to see where installation has put the include file. and add its path  
to path search list.

 Ramesh,

You can look into the example provided by the expat package. Its enough
to get the data and tags from a XML file.

http://xmlbench.sourceforge.net/ has some benchmarks (a couple of years

According to these Expat is slightly faster than libxml, but not by much.

Thanks, but that's not I want, I translate below code to C and run, then
find many useless char is also captured. I don't need any other useless
char other than the value of f2, is there any better way to do this?

The CharacterDataHandler seems a handler for every char that not
processed by "element handler", is it right? So something like '\t' and
'\n' are also be handled, and it's totally context free.

I want the content of f2, it is context sensitive, there are no API for
this?

Hi,

 Try this

 

 

import xml.parsers.expat

 

# 3 handler functions

def start_element(name, attrs):

    print 'Start element:', name, attrs

def end_element(name):

    print 'End element:', name

def char_data(data):

    print 'Character data:', repr(data)

 

p = xml.parsers.expat.ParserCreate()

 

p.StartElementHandler = start_element

p.EndElementHandler = end_element

p.CharacterDataHandler = char_data

 

p.Parse("""<?xml version="1.0"?>

<parent id="top"><child1 name="paul">Text goes here</child1>

<child2 name="fred">More text</child2>

</parent>""")

 

 

You can you a file to read the xml contents and read the xml document
and in  a while loop , and extract the contents.

 

 

Here is my small web-page:

-----------------------------------------------------------
No. Expat is a "low level" parser so you trade in
more work for more speed and flexibility.
You will have to track tag starts and endings
yourself (or use a DOM parser instead).

Expat has to report all the whitespace since it by
default is significant. Before throwing the whitespace
away make sure the language/schema you parse tells you to.

Are you implementing your own or a known format?

I haven't myself--I just assumed Expat would treat CDATA sections just like

Subject: [Expat-discuss]  Parsing CDATA section
Message-ID: <7c75739b0705250812h22647102ie12b0ccc01108a1f@mail.gmail.com>

Hello expat`ers,

I have stuck up with parsing the CDATA section in an XML file. I could not
even find an example source for this.

I would like to parse the following XML file, and extract `Hello World'
string:

<ABC>
  <DEF>
    <XYZ><![CDATA[Hello World !!!]]></XYZ>
  <DEF>
</ABC>

Please help me with this.

Thanks  in advance for your help !

Well, i went through that, but could not figure out how i can proceed .

I haven't myself--I just assumed Expat would treat CDATA sections just like

That's true.

Expat treats CDATA as any other text BUT calls the cdata start and end
handlers before and after it passes your text to the text handler. So the
the order of the calls would be the following:

CDATA section start handler
Text handler <-- this is your CDATA
CDATA section end handler

Here's my code:

static void XMLCALL
startcData(void *userData){
  int *depthPtr = (int *)userData;
  /*I am unable to get cdata here. userData contains a single byte here*/
}

static void XMLCALL
endcData(void *userData){
    ;
}

int main(){
  XML_SetCdataSectionHandler(parser, startcData, endcData);
}

XML file:

<A>
  <B>
    <C><![CDATA[Hello World]]></C>
  </B>
</A>

I see that when the CDATA section starts, the startcData fucntion is called.

It's still not working ! BTW, which ptr points to CDATA section when the
startcData is called ?

Thanks !

CdataSectionHandler just tells you when the section starts and ends. I
assume you need to use CharacterDataHandler to get the actual text.

Greetings,

I need to use the parser on a platform which has zero GNU tools nor 
libraries.  Has any tried to compile expat using the Metaware HighC 
compiler?  TIA.

Jeff

While I haven't tried to build Expat with Metaware HighC, I have
built it for several embedded systems that don't have any GNU tools.
The idea is to create a config file for your platform and manually
compile xmlparse.c, xmlrole.c, and xmltok.c found in the expat-X.Y.Z/lib.
The winconfig.h is a good starting point for creating your own config
file. Also search for winconfig.h in the above C files for places where
you will need to plug in your custom config file.


hth,

Thanks Boris,

I didn't pay attention to the winconfig.h file, but I will.  I did start 
the down the same path, but the compiler is really choking on the syntax. 
I'm using the expat.dsp file with an older version of visual studio, as to 
export an nmake.mak makefile, simply as a starting point.  Here's a 
snippet of the compile errors, this is with expat 2.0, perhaps I should go 
to an older revision:

xmlparse.286:
    xmlparse.obj:
        xmlparse.c:
        expat.mak:
        xmlparse.obj is non-existent.
        xmlparse.a86:
        xmlparse.c:
hcdrv xmlparse.c -c -Iptk:inc/ -Iipinc: -DHAVE_MEMMOVE -I../inc

The compiler seems to be rather old so I am not sure how much older you
will have to go to get it compiling. I think a more fruitful approach
would be to try to fix the compile errors. For the first error adding
pointer to the Processor typedef might help.
