XML Package Symbol

XMLGetString

XMLGetString["data"]
returns the XML expression tree corresponding to a string.

XMLGetString["data", parser]
uses the pre-initialized XMLParser object to parse the string.

MORE INFORMATION

To use XMLGetString, you first need to load the XML Package using Needs["XML`"].

This function is similar to ImportString["data", "XML"]. However, it can take a pre-initialized XML parser.

The following options can be given:

"NormalizeWhitespace"	True	whether to remove leading, trailing, and multiple internal whitespace in elements
"IncludeNamespaces"	Automatic	whether to explicitly include namespaces
"ValidateAgainstDTD"	Automatic	whether to validate the XML against the DTD content model
"IncludeEmbeddedObjects"	None	whether to retain comments and processing instructions
"AllowRemoteDTDAccess"	True	whether to seek DTDs on the network
"ReadDTD"	True	whether to read the DTD
"IncludeDefaultedAttributes"	False	whether to explicitly include default attributes as defined in the DTD
"AllowUnrecognizedEntities"	Automatic	whether entities undefined by the DTD are considered errors
"PreserveCDATASections"	False	whether the distinction between CDATA sections and regular character data is maintained on import

Basic Examples (2)

Needs["XML`"]

XMLGetString imports a string as SymbolicXML:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

Needs["XML`"]

To use XMLGetString with a pre-initialized parser, pre-initialize the parser according to a DTD at the remote URL and name that pre-initialized parser XHTMLParser:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

Use the pre-initialized parser to validate the string on import. "Valid"->True indicates the string was validated successfully:

In[3]:=

Out[3]=
