MarkupParser

class MarkupParser(*args, **kwargs)

Any of the fields in MarkupParser can be None, in which case they will be ignored. Except for the error function, any of these callbacks can set an error; in particular the UNKNOWN_ELEMENT, UNKNOWN_ATTRIBUTE, and INVALID_CONTENT errors are intended to be set from these callbacks. If you set an error from a callback, parse() will report that error back to its caller.

Fields

class MarkupParser

end_element

Callback to invoke when the closing tag of an element is seen. Note that this is also called for empty tags like <empty/>.

error

Callback to invoke when an error occurs.

passthrough

Callback to invoke for comments, processing instructions and doctype declarations; if you’re re-writing the parsed document, write the passthrough text back out in the same position. If the TREAT_CDATA_AS_TEXT flag is not set, this function is also called for CDATA marked sections.

start_element

Callback to invoke when the opening tag of an element is seen. The callback’s attribute_names and attribute_values parameters are None-terminated.

text

Callback to invoke when some text is seen (text is always inside an element). Note that the text of an element may be spread over multiple calls of this function. If the TREAT_CDATA_AS_TEXT flag is set, this function is also called for the content of CDATA marked sections.
