<p> Updates to the xml scanner </p> <list> <item>
<p>xmerl_scan is now returning xmlComment records in the
output.<br/><br/> Functions <c>xmerl_scan:file/2</c> and
<c>xmerl_scan:string/2</c> now accepts a new option
<c>{comments, Flag}</c> for filtering of comments.<br/>
Default (<c>true</c>) is that <c>#xmlComment</c> records
are returned from the scanner and this flag should be set
to false if one don't want comments in the output. </p>
</item> <item> <p>Add <i>default_attrs</i>
option<br/><br/> When <i>default_attrs</i> is <c>true</c>
any attribute with a default value defined in the doctype
but not in the attribute axis of the currently scanned
element is added to it. </p> </item> <item> <p>Allow
whole documents to be returned<br/><br/> Functions
<c>xmerl_scan:file/2</c> and <c>xmerl_scan:string/2</c>
now accepts a new option <c>{document, true}</c> to
produce a whole document as a <c>xmlDocument</c> record
instead of just the root element node.<br/> This option
is the only way to get to the top-level comments and
processing instructions without hooking through the
customization functions. Those nodes are needed to
implement [Canonical XML][c14n-xml] support.<br/>

namespace-conformance constraints<br/><br/> See
[Namespaces in XML 1.0 (Third Edition)][1]: The prefix
xml is by definition bound to the namespace name
http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace. It MAY, but need
not, be declared, and MUST NOT be bound to any other
namespace name. Other prefixes MUST NOT be bound to this
namespace name, and it MUST NOT be declared as the
default namespace.<br/> The prefix xmlns is used only to
declare namespace bindings and is by definition bound to
the namespace name http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/. It MUST
NOT be declared . Other prefixes MUST NOT be bound to
this namespace name, and it MUST NOT be declared as the
default namespace. Element names MUST NOT have the prefix
xmlns.<br/> In XML documents conforming to this
specification, no tag may contain two attributes which
have identical names, or have qualified names with the
same local part and with prefixes which have been bound
to namespace names that are identical.<br/> [1]

axis<br/><br/> Namespace nodes are represented as
<c>#xmlNsNode</c> records. Now that the namespace axis is
correctly implemented, attributes nodes corresponding to
attributes that declare namespaces are ignored.<br/> See

Prevent xmerl from over-normalizing character references
in attributes</p>

Section 3.3.3 of the XML Recommendation gives the rules
for attribute-value normalization. One of those rules
requires that character references not be re-normalized
after being replaced with the referenced characters.

<p> Fixed problem with hex entities in UTF-8 documents:

improperly replaced hex entities by the UTF-8 bytes
instead of returning the character, as it does with
inline UTF-8 text and decimal entities. (Thanks to Paul

The SAX parser couldn't handle consecutive documents on
the same stream. The return values are now changed so
they return a rest value instead of giving an error about
"erranous information after the end tag".
</p>
<p>
This means that
the functions <c>file/2</c> and <c>stream/2</c> now
returns <c>{ok, EventState, Rest}</c> when the parsing is
correct. The rest can then be used as input to a new call
to <c>xmerl_sax_parse:stream/2</c>. If one know that it's
just one document the rest value in the result tuple can
be matched against <c><<>></c> or <c>[]</c>
depending on if the input is in binary form or not.

<section><title>Xmerl 1.2</title>
<section><title>Improvements and New Features</title>
<p>
In xmerl-1.2 we have added the first Beta version of the new
SAX parser (module: xmerl_sax_parser), it supports XML 1.0.
We call it Beta due to that the validation part is not ready yet and that the
parser still has some known limitations (mostly in the DTD area).
</p>
<p>
Known limitations:
</p>
<list type="bulleted">
<item>the external DTD in the DOCTYPE declaration is handled but other external entities are not supported.</item>
<item>the general entity values are just checked in the structure after replacement.</item>
<item>
parsed entities are supported on markup declaration level (e.g. partly replacement of markup
declaration with PEReference is not supported).
</item>
<item>conditionalSect in external DTD's are not supported.</item>
<item>recursive loops in entity declarations are not detected.</item>
</list>
<p>
The version is increased from 1.1.12 to 1.2 is due to that the new parser
is dependent on the Unicode support that was added in OTP R13B. The old xmerl
functionality is not changed.

<p>Memory consumption decreased: moved transforming from
utf-8 to unicode from an extra pass of the document to
the occasion when a character is parsed. Removed use of

some scenarios.</p>

validation should be considered as a beta release. The
user interface may still be adjusted in a coming
release. Opinions and evaluations are welcome.</p>

xmerl-0.20 of http://sowap.sourceforge.net/. It is
capable of parsing XML 1.0. There have only been minor
improvements: Some bugs that caused an unexpected crash
when parsing bad XML. Failure report that also tells
which file that caused an error.</p>
