+<p>
+<p> For a general discussion of the XML topics in TQt please refer to
+the document <a href="xml.html">XML Module.</a>
+To learn more about SAX2 see the document describing
+<a href="xml.html#sax2">the TQt SAX2 implementation.</a>
+<p> Before reading on you should at least be familiar with
+the <a href="xml.html#sax2Intro">Introduction to SAX2.</a>
+<p> <a name="tquickStart"></a>
+<h2>A tiny parser</h2>
+<p> In this section we will present a small example reader that outputs
+the names of all elements in an XML document on the command line.
+The element names are indented corresponding to their nesting level.
+<p> As mentioned in <a href="xml.html#sax2Intro">Introduction to SAX2</a>
+we have to implement the functions of the handler classes that we are
+interested in. In our case these are only three:
+<a href="qxmlcontenthandler.html#startDocument">TQXmlContentHandler::startDocument</a>(),
+<a href="qxmlcontenthandler.html#startElement">TQXmlContentHandler::startElement</a>() and
+<a href="qxmlcontenthandler.html#endElement">TQXmlContentHandler::endElement</a>().
+<p> For this purpose we use a subclass of the <a href="qxmldefaulthandler.html">TQXmlDefaultHandler</a> (remember
+that the special handler classes are all abstract and the default handler class
+provides an implementation that does not change the parsing behavior):

+public:

+ bool startElement( const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>&amp;, const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>&amp;, const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>&amp; ,

+ <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> indent;

+
+#endif
+</pre>
+
+<p> Apart from the private helper variable <em>indent</em> that we will use to
+get indentation right, there is nothing special about our new
+<em>StructureParser</em> class.
+<p>
+
+<p> Even the implementation is straight-forward:
+<p> <pre> #include "structureparser.h"
+
+ #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
+ #include &lt;<a href="qstring-h.html">qstring.h</a>&gt;
+</pre>
+<p> First we overload <a href="qxmlcontenthandler.html#startDocument">TQXmlContentHandler::startDocument</a>() with a non-empty version.
+<p> <pre> <a name="x2137"></a>bool StructureParser::<a href="qxmlcontenthandler.html#startDocument">startDocument</a>()
+ {
+ indent = "";
+ return TRUE;
+ }
+</pre>
+<p> At the beginning of the document we simply
+set <em>indent</em> to an empty string because we
+want to print out the root element without any indentation.
+Also we return TRUE so that the parser continues without
+reporting an error.
+<p> Because we want to be informed when the parser comes
+accross a start tag of an element and subsequently print it out, we
+have to overload <a href="qxmlcontenthandler.html#startElement">TQXmlContentHandler::startElement</a>().
+<p> <pre> <a name="x2138"></a>bool StructureParser::<a href="qxmlcontenthandler.html#startElement">startElement</a>( const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>&amp;, const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>&amp;,
+ const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>&amp; qName,
+ const <a href="qxmlattributes.html">TQXmlAttributes</a>&amp; )
+ {
+ printf( "%s%s\n", (const char*)indent, (const char*)qName );
+ indent += " ";
+ return TRUE;
+ }
+</pre>
+<p> This is what the implementation does: The name of the element with
+preceding indentation is printed out followed by a linebreak.
+Strictly speaking <em>qName</em> contains the local element name
+without an eventual prefix denoting the <a href="xml.html#namespaces">namespace.</a>
+<p> If another element follows before the current element's end tag
+it should be indented. Therefore we add four spaces to the
+<em>indent</em> string.
+<p> Finally we return TRUE in order to let the parser continue without
+errors.
+<p> The last functionality we need to add is the parser's behaviour when an
+end tag occurs. This means overloading <a href="qxmlcontenthandler.html#endElement">TQXmlContentHandler::endElement</a>().
+<p> <pre> <a name="x2136"></a>bool StructureParser::<a href="qxmlcontenthandler.html#endElement">endElement</a>( const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>&amp;, const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>&amp;, const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>&amp; )
+ {
+ indent.remove( (uint)0, 4 );
+ return TRUE;
+ }
+</pre>
+<p> Obviously we then should shorten the <em>indent</em> string by the four
+whitespaces added in startElement().
+<p> With this we're done with our parser and can start writing the main()
+program.
+<p>
+
+<p> <pre> #include "structureparser.h"
+ #include &lt;<a href="qfile-h.html">qfile.h</a>&gt;
+ #include &lt;<a href="qxml-h.html">qxml.h</a>&gt;
+ #include &lt;<a href="qwindowdefs-h.html">qwindowdefs.h</a>&gt;
+
+ int main( int argc, char **argv )
+ {
+ if ( argc &lt; 2 ) {
+ fprintf( stderr, "Usage: %s &lt;xmlfile&gt; [&lt;xmlfile&gt; ...]\n", argv[0] );
+ return 1;
+ }
+</pre>
+<p> This check ensures that we have a sequence of files from the command
+line to examine.
+<p> <pre> StructureParser handler;
+</pre>
+<p> The next step is to create an instance of the <em>StructureParser</em>.
+<p> <pre> <a href="qxmlsimplereader.html">TQXmlSimpleReader</a> reader;
+ <a name="x2140"></a> reader.<a href="qxmlreader.html#setContentHandler">setContentHandler</a>( &amp;handler );
+</pre>
+<p> After that we set up the reader. As our <em>StructureParser</em>
+class deals with <a href="qxmlcontenthandler.html">TQXmlContentHandler</a> functionality only
+we simply register it as the content handler of our choice.
+<p> <pre> for ( int i=1; i &lt; argc; i++ ) {
+</pre>
+<p> Successively we deal with all files given as command line arguments.
+<p> <pre> <a href="qfile.html">TQFile</a> xmlFile( argv[i] );
+ <a href="qxmlinputsource.html">TQXmlInputSource</a> source( &amp;xmlFile );
+</pre>
+<p> Then we create a
+<a href="qxmlinputsource.html">TQXmlInputSource</a> for the XML file to be parsed.
+<p> <pre> <a name="x2139"></a> reader.<a href="qxmlsimplereader.html#parse">parse</a>( source );
+</pre>
+<p> Now we take our input source and start parsing.
+<p> <pre> }
+ return 0;
+ }
+</pre>
+<p> Running the program on the following XML file...
+<p> <pre>&lt;animals&gt;
+&lt;mammals&gt;
+ &lt;monkeys&gt; &lt;gorilla/&gt; &lt;orangutan/&gt; &lt;/monkeys&gt;
+&lt;/mammals&gt;
+&lt;birds&gt; &lt;pigeon/&gt; &lt;penguin/&gt; &lt;/birds&gt;
+&lt;/animals&gt;
+
+</pre>
+
+<p> ... produces the following output:
+<pre>
+animals
+ mammals
+ monkeys
+ gorilla
+ orang-utan
+ birds
+ pigeon
+ penguin
+</pre>
+
+<p> It will however refuse to produce the correct result if you e.g. insert
+a whitespace between a &lt; and the element name in your test-XML file.
+To prevent such annoyances
+you should always install an error handler with <a href="qxmlreader.html#setErrorHandler">TQXmlReader::setErrorHandler</a>(). This allows you to report
+parsing errors to the user.
