- pugixml provides several functions for loading XML data from various places
- - files, C++ iostreams, memory buffers. All functions use an extremely fast
- non-validating parser. This parser is not fully W3C conformant - it can load
- any valid XML document, but does not perform some well-formedness checks. While
- considerable effort is made to reject invalid XML documents, some validation
- is not performed for performance reasons. Also some XML transformations (i.e.
- EOL handling or attribute value normalization) can impact parsing speed and
- thus can be disabled. However for vast majority of XML documents there is no
- performance difference between different parsing options. Parsing options also
- control whether certain XML nodes are parsed; see <a class="xref" href="loading.html#manual.loading.options" title="Parsing options"> Parsing options</a> for
- more information.
- </p>
-<p>
- XML data is always converted to internal character format (see <a class="xref" href="dom.html#manual.dom.unicode" title="Unicode interface"> Unicode interface</a>)
- before parsing. pugixml supports all popular Unicode encodings (UTF-8, UTF-16
- (big and little endian), UTF-32 (big and little endian); UCS-2 is naturally
- supported since it's a strict subset of UTF-16) and handles all encoding conversions
- automatically. Unless explicit encoding is specified, loading functions perform
- automatic encoding detection based on first few characters of XML data, so
- in almost all cases you do not have to specify document encoding. Encoding
- conversion is described in more detail in <a class="xref" href="loading.html#manual.loading.encoding" title="Encodings"> Encodings</a>.

- The most common source of XML data is files; pugixml provides dedicated functions

- These functions accept the file path as its first argument, and also two
- optional arguments, which specify parsing options (see <a class="xref" href="loading.html#manual.loading.options" title="Parsing options"> Parsing options</a>)
- and input data encoding (see <a class="xref" href="loading.html#manual.loading.encoding" title="Encodings"> Encodings</a>). The path has the target
- operating system format, so it can be a relative or absolute one, it should
- have the delimiters of the target system, it should have the exact case if
- the target file system is case-sensitive, etc.
- </p>
-<p>
- File path is passed to the system file opening function as is in case of
- the first function (which accepts <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">const</span>
- <span class="keyword">char</span><span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">path</span></code>); the second function either uses
- a special file opening function if it is provided by the runtime library
- or converts the path to UTF-8 and uses the system file opening function.
- </p>
-<p>
- <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">load_file</span></code> destroys the existing
- document tree and then tries to load the new tree from the specified file.
- The result of the operation is returned in an <a class="link" href="loading.html#xml_parse_result">xml_parse_result</a>
- object; this object contains the operation status and the related information
- (i.e. last successfully parsed position in the input file, if parsing fails).

- Sometimes XML data should be loaded from some other source than a file, i.e.
- HTTP URL; also you may want to load XML data from file using non-standard
- functions, i.e. to use your virtual file system facilities or to load XML
- from gzip-compressed files. All these scenarios require loading document
- from memory. First you should prepare a contiguous memory block with all
- XML data; then you have to invoke one of buffer loading functions. These
- functions will handle the necessary encoding conversions, if any, and then
- will parse the data into the corresponding XML tree. There are several buffer
- loading functions, which differ in the behavior and thus in performance/memory
- usage:

- All functions accept the buffer which is represented by a pointer to XML
- data, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">contents</span></code>, and data
- size in bytes. Also there are two optional arguments, which specify parsing
- options (see <a class="xref" href="loading.html#manual.loading.options" title="Parsing options"> Parsing options</a>) and input data encoding (see <a class="xref" href="loading.html#manual.loading.encoding" title="Encodings"> Encodings</a>).
- The buffer does not have to be zero-terminated.
- </p>
-<p>
- <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">load_buffer</span></code> function works
- with immutable buffer - it does not ever modify the buffer. Because of this
- restriction it has to create a private buffer and copy XML data to it before
- parsing (applying encoding conversions if necessary). This copy operation
- carries a performance penalty, so inplace functions are provided - <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">load_buffer_inplace</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">load_buffer_inplace_own</span></code>
- store the document data in the buffer, modifying it in the process. In order
- for the document to stay valid, you have to make sure that the buffer's lifetime
- exceeds that of the tree if you're using inplace functions. In addition to
- that, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">load_buffer_inplace</span></code>
- does not assume ownership of the buffer, so you'll have to destroy it yourself;
- <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">load_buffer_inplace_own</span></code> assumes
- ownership of the buffer and destroys it once it is not needed. This means
- that if you're using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">load_buffer_inplace_own</span></code>,
- you have to allocate memory with pugixml allocation function (you can get
- it via <a class="link" href="dom.html#get_memory_allocation_function">get_memory_allocation_function</a>).
- </p>
-<p>
- The best way from the performance/memory point of view is to load document
- using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">load_buffer_inplace_own</span></code>;
- this function has maximum control of the buffer with XML data so it is able
- to avoid redundant copies and reduce peak memory usage while parsing. This
- is the recommended function if you have to load the document from memory
- and performance is critical.
- </p>
-<a name="xml_document::load_string"></a><p>
- There is also a simple helper function for cases when you want to load the
- XML document from null-terminated character string:
- </p>
-<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">xml_parse_result</span> <span class="identifier">xml_document</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">load_string</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">char_t</span><span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">contents</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="keyword">unsigned</span> <span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">options</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">parse_default</span><span class="special">);</span>
-</pre>
-<p>
- It is equivalent to calling <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">load_buffer</span></code>
- with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">size</span></code> being either <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">strlen</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">contents</span><span class="special">)</span></code>
- or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">wcslen</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">contents</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">*</span> <span class="keyword">sizeof</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">wchar_t</span><span class="special">)</span></code>,
- depending on the character type. This function assumes native encoding for
- input data, so it does not do any encoding conversion. In general, this function
- is fine for loading small documents from string literals, but has more overhead
- and less functionality than the buffer loading functions.

- To enhance interoperability, pugixml provides functions for loading document
- from any object which implements C++ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">istream</span></code>
- interface. This allows you to load documents from any standard C++ stream
- (i.e. file stream) or any third-party compliant implementation (i.e. Boost
- Iostreams). There are two functions, one works with narrow character streams,
- another handles wide character ones:

- argument loads the document from stream from the current read position to
- the end, treating the stream contents as a byte stream of the specified encoding
- (with encoding autodetection as necessary). Thus calling <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xml_document</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">load</span></code>
- on an opened <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">ifstream</span></code> object is equivalent to calling

- <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">load</span></code> with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">wstream</span></code>
- argument treats the stream contents as a wide character stream (encoding
- is always <a class="link" href="loading.html#encoding_wchar">encoding_wchar</a>). Because
- of this, using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">load</span></code> with
- wide character streams requires careful (usually platform-specific) stream
- setup (i.e. using the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">imbue</span></code>
- function). Generally use of wide streams is discouraged, however it provides
- you the ability to load documents from non-Unicode encodings, i.e. you can
- load Shift-JIS encoded data if you set the correct locale.

- returned by <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">description</span><span class="special">()</span></code>
- function may change from version to version, so any complex status handling
- should be based on <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">status</span></code>

- If parsing failed because the source data was not a valid XML, the resulting
- tree is not destroyed - despite the fact that load function returns error,
- you can use the part of the tree that was successfully parsed. Obviously,
- the last element may have an unexpected name/value; for example, if the attribute
- value does not end with the necessary quotation mark, like in <code class="literal">&lt;node
- attr="value&gt;some data&lt;/node&gt;</code> example, the value of

- member, which contains the offset of last successfully parsed character if
- parsing failed because of an error in source data; otherwise <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">offset</span></code> is 0. For parsing efficiency reasons,
- pugixml does not track the current line during parsing; this offset is in
- units of <a class="link" href="dom.html#char_t">pugi::char_t</a> (bytes for character
- mode, wide characters for wide character mode). Many text editors support
- 'Go To Position' feature - you can use it to locate the exact error position.
- Alternatively, if you're loading the document from memory, you can display
- the error chunk along with the error description (see the example code below).

- Parsing result also has an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">encoding</span></code>

- won't get any performance benefit. As a rule of thumb, only modify parsing

- pugixml is not fully W3C conformant - it can load any valid XML document,
- but does not perform some well-formedness checks. While considerable effort

- because of performance reasons.
- </p>
-<p>
- There is only one non-conformant behavior when dealing with valid XML documents:
- pugixml does not use information supplied in document type declaration for
- parsing. This means that entities declared in DOCTYPE are not expanded, and
- all attribute/PCDATA values are always processed in a uniform way that depends
- only on parsing options.
