## javolution.xml.stream
Class XMLStreamReaderImpl

    java.lang.Object
      javolution.xml.stream.XMLStreamReaderImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Reusable, XMLStreamConstants, XMLStreamReader

    public final class XMLStreamReaderImpl

extends java.lang.Object
implements XMLStreamReader, Reusable

This class represents a `reusable` implementation of `XMLStreamWriter`.

Except for the types being used (`CharArray`/ `CharSequence` instead of `String`) the parsing behavior is about the same as for the standard `javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamReader` (although several times faster).

The `CharArray` instances returned by this reader supports fast primitive conversions as illustrated below:``

         // Creates reader for an input sream with unknown encoding.
         XMLStreamReaderImpl xmlReader = new XMLStreamReaderImpl().setInput(inputStream);

         // Parses.
         for (int e=xmlReader.next(); e != XMLStreamConstants.END_DOCUMENT; e = xmlReader.next()) {
             switch (e) { // Event.
                 case XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT:
                 if (xmlReader.getLocalName().equals("Time")) {
                      // Reads primitive types (int) attributes directly.
                      int hour = xmlReader.getAttributeValue("hour").toInt();
                      int minute = xmlReader.getAttributeValue("minute").toInt();
                      int second = xmlReader.getAttributeValue("second").toInt();
                      ...
                 }
                 ...
                 break;
             }
         }

         // Closes reader, it is automatically reset() and can be reused!
         xmlReader.close();

This reader returns all contiguous character data in a single chunk (always coalescing). It is non-validating (DTD is returned unparsed). Although, users may define custom entities mapping using the `setEntities(java.util.Map)` method (e.g. after parsing/resolving external entities).

  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if not a START_ELEMENT.

### setEntities

    public void setEntities(java.util.Map entities)

  Defines a custom entities to replacement text mapping for this reader. For example:`

           FastMap<String, String> HTML_ENTITIES = new FastMap<String, String>();
           HTML_ENTITIES.put("nbsp", " ");
           HTML_ENTITIES.put("copy", "©");
           HTML_ENTITIES.put("eacute", "é");
           ...
           XMLStreamReaderImpl reader = new XMLStreamReaderImpl();
           reader.setEntities(HTML_ENTITIES);

  ` The entities mapping may be changed dynamically (e.g. after reading the DTD and all external entities references are resolved).

    `entities` - the entities to replacement texts mapping (both must be `CharSequence` instances).

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Returns the textual representation of this reader current state.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `java.lang.Object`
  Returns:
    the textual representation of the current state.

### next

    public int next()
             throws XMLStreamException

  Description copied from interface: `XMLStreamReader`
  Gets next parsing event - contiguous character data is returned into a single chunk. By default entity references must be expanded and reported transparently to the application. An exception will be thrown if an entity reference cannot be expanded. If element content is empty (i.e. content is "") then no CHARACTERS event will be reported.

  Given the following XML:
  <foo><!--description-->content text<![CDATA[<greeting>Hello</greeting>]]>other content</foo>
  The behavior of calling next() when being on foo will be:
  1- the comment (COMMENT)
  2- then the characters section (CHARACTERS)
  3- then the CDATA section (another CHARACTERS)
  4- then the next characters section (another CHARACTERS)
  5- then the END_ELEMENT

  NOTE: empty element (such as <tag/>) will be reported with two separate events: START_ELEMENT, END_ELEMENT - This preserves parsing equivalency of empty element to <tag></tag>. This method will throw an IllegalStateException if it is called after hasNext() returns false.

  Specified by:
    `next` in interface `XMLStreamReader`
  Returns:
    the integer code corresponding to the current parse event
  Throws:
    `XMLStreamException` - if there is an error processing the underlying XML source

  Description copied from interface: `Reusable`
  Resets the internal state of this object to its default values.

  Specified by:
    `reset` in interface `Reusable`

### require

    public void require(int type,
                        java.lang.CharSequence namespaceURI,
                        java.lang.CharSequence localName)
                 throws XMLStreamException

                                      this);
              } else if (eventType == XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT) {
                      throw new XMLStreamException(
                                      "element text content may not contain START_ELEMENT",
                                      getLocation());
              } else {
                      throw new XMLStreamException("Unexpected event type " + eventType,
                                      getLocation());

    public int getTextCharacters(int sourceStart,
                                 char[] target,
                                 int targetStart,
                                 int length)
                          throws XMLStreamException

  Description copied from interface: `XMLStreamReader`
  Gets the the text associated with a CHARACTERS, SPACE or CDATA event. Text starting a "sourceStart" is copied into "target" starting at "targetStart". Up to "length" characters are copied. The number of characters actually copied is returned. The "sourceStart" argument must be greater or equal to 0 and less than or equal to the number of characters associated with the event. Usually, one requests text starting at a "sourceStart" of 0. If the number of characters actually copied is less than the "length", then there is no more text. Otherwise, subsequent calls need to be made until all text has been retrieved. For example: `int length = 1024; char[] myBuffer = new char[ length ]; for ( int sourceStart = 0 ; ; sourceStart += length ) { int nCopied = stream.getTextCharacters( sourceStart, myBuffer, 0, length ); if (nCopied < length) break; }` XMLStreamException may be thrown if there are any XML errors in the underlying source. The "targetStart" argument must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than the length of "target", Length must be greater than 0 and "targetStart + length" must be less than or equal to length of "target".

  Specified by:
    `getTextCharacters` in interface `XMLStreamReader`
  Parameters:
    `sourceStart` - the index of te first character in the source array to copy
    `target` - the destination array
    `targetStart` - the start offset in the target array

### hasNext

    public boolean hasNext()
                    throws XMLStreamException

  Description copied from interface: `XMLStreamReader`
  Returns true if there are more parsing events and false if there are no more events. This method will return false if the current state of the XMLStreamReader is END_DOCUMENT.

  Specified by:
    `hasNext` in interface `XMLStreamReader`
  Returns:
    true if there are more events, false otherwise.
  Throws:
    `XMLStreamException` - if there is a fatal error detecting the next state.

### hasText

### isCharacters

    public boolean isCharacters()

  Description copied from interface: `XMLStreamReader`
  Indicates if the cursor points to character data.

  Specified by:
    `isCharacters` in interface `XMLStreamReader`
  Returns:
    `true` if the cursor points to character data; `false` otherwise.

### isEndElement

    public boolean isEndElement()

    `true` if the cursor points to a end tag; `false` otherwise.

### isStartElement

    public boolean isStartElement()

  Description copied from interface: `XMLStreamReader`
  Indicates if the cursor points to a start tag.

  Specified by:
    `isStartElement` in interface `XMLStreamReader`
  Returns:
    `true` if the cursor points to a start tag; `false` otherwise.

### isWhiteSpace

    public boolean isWhiteSpace()

  Description copied from interface: `XMLStreamReader`
  Indicates if the cursor points to character data that consists of all whitespace.

  Specified by:
    `isWhiteSpace` in interface `XMLStreamReader`
  Returns:
    `true` if the cursor points to whitespaces; `false` otherwise.

### nextTag

    public int nextTag()
                throws XMLStreamException

  Description copied from interface: `XMLStreamReader`
  Skips any white space (isWhiteSpace() returns true), COMMENT, or PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION, until a START_ELEMENT or END_ELEMENT is reached. If other than white space characters, COMMENT, PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION, START_ELEMENT, END_ELEMENT are encountered, an exception is thrown. This method should be used when processing element-only content seperated by white space.
  Precondition: none
  Postcondition: the current event is START_ELEMENT or END_ELEMENT and cursor may have moved over any whitespace event.
  Essentially it does the following (implementations are free to optimized but must do equivalent processing):

         int eventType = next();
         while((eventType == XMLStreamConstants.CHARACTERS && isWhiteSpace()) // skip whitespace
         || (eventType == XMLStreamConstants.CDATA && isWhiteSpace())
         // skip whitespace
         || eventType == XMLStreamConstants.SPACE
         || eventType == XMLStreamConstants.PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION
         || eventType == XMLStreamConstants.COMMENT
         ) {
         eventType = next();
         }
         if (eventType != XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT && eventType != XMLStreamConstants.END_ELEMENT) {
         throw new String XMLStreamException("expected start or end tag", getLocation());
         }
         return eventType;

  Specified by:
    `nextTag` in interface `XMLStreamReader`
  Returns:
    the event type of the element read (START_ELEMENT or END_ELEMENT)
  Throws:
    `XMLStreamException` - if the current event is not white space, PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION, START_ELEMENT or END_ELEMENT
