Hello, apologies if this is documented somewhere and I'm just not finding it. Could be a matter of me just not knowing relevant terminology to grep for.
I'm using a library that's parsing XML using the SAX stream parser. I'm trying to incorporate some sort of parsing progress bar into my application, meaning that unless I'm missing something, it is essential to know how many bytes the stream parser has processed in all events. In looking at both the library and the libxml SAX stream parser, though, I'm not seeing any way of getting at how many bytes have been parsed. Most ideal would be a general-purpose callback called whenever any valid chunk of XML is parsed, with some means of getting at the amount of data processed. Less ideal but still valid would be some means of getting at the raw data that generated any given event so I can increment some sort of internal counter on the callback. Does anything like this currently exist in either the bindings or libxml itself? If the latter and not the former, how difficult would it be to add this to the bindings? Failing that, is there some other means of implementing this sort of functionality? One suggestion was to handle progress based on objects in the file, not bytes parsed. Not sure I like this as much, as it both introduces a second pass to the processing and doesn't seem as precise. Thanks a bunch. _______________________________________________ libxml-devel mailing list libxml-devel@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/libxml-devel
