;;; Commentary:

;; This file contains a somewhat incomplete non-validating XML parser.  It
;; parses a file, and returns a list that can be used internally by
;; any other Lisp libraries.

;;; FILE FORMAT

;; The document type declaration may either be ignored or (optionally)
;; parsed, but currently the parsing will only accept element
;; declarations.  The XML file is assumed to be well-formed.  In case
;; of error, the parsing stops and the XML file is shown where the
;; parsing stopped.
;;
;; It also knows how to ignore comments and processing instructions.
;;
;; The XML file should have the following format:
;;    <node1 attr1="name1" attr2="name2" ...>value
;;       <node2 attr3="name3" attr4="name4">value2</node2>
;;       <node3 attr5="name5" attr6="name6">value3</node3>
;;    </node1>
;; Of course, the name of the nodes and attributes can be anything.  There can
;; be any number of attributes (or none), as well as any number of children
;; below the nodes.
;;
;; There can be only top level node, but with any number of children below.

;;; LIST FORMAT

;; The functions `xml-parse-file', `xml-parse-region' and
;; `xml-parse-tag' return a list with the following format:
;;
;;    xml-list   ::= (node node ...)
;;    node       ::= (qname attribute-list . child_node_list)
;;    child_node_list ::= child_node child_node ...
;;    child_node ::= node | string
;;    qname      ::= (:namespace-uri . "name") | "name"
;;    attribute_list ::= ((qname . "value") (qname . "value") ...)
;;                       | nil
;;    string     ::= "..."
;;
;; Some macros are provided to ease the parsing of this list.
;; Whitespace is preserved.  Fixme: There should be a tree-walker that
;; can remove it.

;; TODO:
;;  * xml:base, xml:space support
;;  * more complete DOCTYPE parsing
;;  * pi support

;;; Code:

;; Note that buffer-substring and match-string were formerly used in
;; several places, because the -no-properties variants remove
;; composition info.  However, after some discussion on emacs-devel,
;; the consensus was that the speed of the -no-properties variants was
;; a worthwhile tradeoff especially since we're usually parsing files
;; instead of hand-crafted XML.
