hextream

This library provides Haskell-native, streaming-friendly XML parsers.

Parsers are organized into 3 layers of increasing abstraction level: low, middle and high. Applications will most probably want to rely on the high-level layer.

The library does not define a data type nor parser for a whole XML document. Instead, parsers operate on XML tokens of various sizes, to allow for a usage in a streaming context (e.g. using streaming-attoparsec, pipes-attoparsec or conduit-attoparsec).

The implementation is based on the following specifications:

• Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Fifth Edition)
• Namespaces in XML 1.0 (Third Edition)

Caveats

The following parts of the XML standard are not supported:

• external entities
• parameter entities
• the doctype internal subset, except for general entity declarations
