CFXMLParserMBS.Abort(ErrorCode as Integer, ErrorDescription as CFStringMBS)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	CoreFoundation	MBS MacCF Plugin	3.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Function: Stops parsing from inside an event.
Notes: Cause any in-progress parse to abort with the given error code and description. errorCode must be positive, and errorDescription may not be nil. Cannot be called asynchronously (i.e. must be called from within a parser events).

CFXMLParserMBS.Create(data as CFBinaryDataMBS, url as CFURLMBS, options as Integer)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	CoreFoundation	MBS MacCF Plugin	3.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Function: Creates a new data based parser.
Notes:
Creates a parser which will parse the given data with the given options.
xmlData may not be nil.
dataSource should be the URL from which the data came, and may be nil; it is used to resolve any relative references found in xmlData.

These are the various options you can configure the parser with. These are chosen such that an option flag of 0 (kCFXMLParserNoOptions) leaves the XML as "intact" as possible (reports all structures; performs no replacements).
Hence, to make the parser do the most work, returning only the pure element tree, set the option flag to kCFXMLParserAllOptions:

kCFXMLParserValidateDocument	1	validate the document against its grammar from the DTD, reporting any errors. Currently not supported.
kCFXMLParserSkipMetaData	2	silently skip over metadata constructs (the DTD and comments)
kCFXMLParserReplacePhysicalEntities	4	replace declared entities like <. Note that other than the 5 predefined entities (lt, gt, quot, amp, apos), these must be defined in the DTD. Currently not supported.
kCFXMLParserSkipWhitespace	8	skip over all whitespace that does not abut non-whitespace character data. In other words, given <foo> <bar> blah </bar></foo>, the whitespace between foo's open tag and bar's open tag would be suppressed, but the whitespace around blah would be preserved.
kCFXMLParserResolveExternalEntities	16
kCFXMLParserAddImpliedAttributes	32	where the DTD specifies implied attribute-value pairs for a particular element, add those pairs to any occurances of the element in the element tree. Currently not supported.
kCFXMLParserAllOptions	&hFFFFFF
kCFXMLParserNoOptions	0

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	CoreFoundation	MBS MacCF Plugin	3.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Function: Creates a parser which will parse the given data with the given options.
Notes:
The data to be parsed is loaded directly from dataSource. dataSource may not be nil.

These are the various options you can configure the parser with. These are chosen such that an option flag of 0 (kCFXMLParserNoOptions) leaves the XML as "intact" as possible (reports all structures; performs no replacements).

CFXMLParserMBS.Document as CFObjectMBS

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	CoreFoundation	MBS MacCF Plugin	3.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Function: Returns the top-most object returned by the CreateXMLStructure event.
Notes: Returns nil on any error.

CFXMLParserMBS.ErrorDescription as CFStringMBS

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	CoreFoundation	MBS MacCF Plugin	3.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Function: Returns an error description for the last error.
Notes: Returns nil on any error.

Some examples using this method:

• /MacCF/CF XML Parser

CFXMLParserMBS.LineNumber as Integer

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	CoreFoundation	MBS MacCF Plugin	3.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Function: Returns the line number of the current parse location.

Some examples using this method:

• /MacCF/CF XML Parser

CFXMLParserMBS.Location as Integer

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	CoreFoundation	MBS MacCF Plugin	3.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Function: Returns the character index of the current parse location.

CFXMLParserMBS.Parse as boolean

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	CoreFoundation	MBS MacCF Plugin	3.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Function: Starts the parser.
Notes:
Starts a parse of the data the parser was created with; returns success (true) or failure (false). Upon success, use the Document function to get the product of the parse. Upon failure, use ErrorCode or ErrorDescription to get information about the error. It is an error to call Parse while a parse is already underway.

Returns false on any error.

CFXMLParserMBS.SourceURL as CFURLMBS

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	CoreFoundation	MBS MacCF Plugin	3.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Function: The currently used source url for this parser.
Notes: Returns nil on any error.

CFXMLParserMBS.StatusCode as Integer

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	CoreFoundation	MBS MacCF Plugin	3.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Function: The last status code.
Notes:
Get the status code (or a user-readable description via ErrorDescription) of the last error that occurred in a parse.
If no error has occurred, a nil description string is returned by ErrorDescription.
