NAME

       XML::LibXML::SAX - XML::LibXML direct SAX parser

DESCRIPTION

       XML::LibXML provides an interface to libxml2 direct SAX interface. Through this interface it is possible to generate SAX events directly
       while parsing a document. While using the SAX parser XML::LibXML will not create a DOM Document tree.

       Such an interface is useful if very large XML documents have to be processed and no DOM functions are required. By using this interface it
       is possible to read data stored within a XML document directly into the application data structures without loading the document into
       memory.

       The SAX interface of XML::LibXML is based on the famous XML::SAX interface. It uses the generic interface as provided by XML::SAX::Base.

       Additionally to the generic functions, which are only able to process entire documents, XML::LibXML::SAX provides parse_chunk(). This
       method generates SAX events from well balanced data such as is often provided by databases.

       NOTE: At the moment XML::LibXML provides only an incomplete interface to libxml2's native SAX implementation. The current implementation is
       not tested in production environment. It may causes significant memory problems or shows wrong behaviour. If you run into specific problems
       using this part of XML::LibXML, let me know.

FEATURES

       NOTE: This feature is experimental.

       You can enable character data joining which may yield a significant speed boost in your XML processing in lower markup ratio situations by
       enabling the http://xmlns.perl.org/sax/join-character-data feature of this parser. This is done via the set_feature method like this:

	 $p->set_feature('http://xmlns.perl.org/sax/join-character-data', 1);

       You can also specify a 0 to disable. The default is to have this feature disabled.
