defmodule Sassone do
@moduledoc ~S"""
Sassone is an XML SAX parser and encoder.
Sassone provides functions to parse XML file in both binary and streaming way in compliant
with [Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Fifth Edition)](https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/).
Sassone also offers DSL and API to transform structs to and from XML documents.
See "Encoder" section below for more information.
## Parser
Sassone parser supports two modes of parsing: SAX and simple form.
### SAX mode (Simple API for XML)
SAX is an event driven algorithm for parsing XML documents. A SAX parser takes XML document as the input
and emits events out to a pre-configured event handler during parsing.
There are several types of SAX events supported by Sassone:
* `:start_document` - after prolog is parsed.
* `:start_element` - when open tag is parsed.
* `:characters` - when a chunk of `CharData` is parsed.
* `:cdata` - when a chunk of `CData` is parsed.
* `:end_element` - when end tag is parsed.
* `:end_document` - when the root element is closed.
See `Sassone.Handler` for more information.
### Encoding
Sassone **only** supports UTF-8 encoding. It also respects the encoding set in XML document prolog, which means
that if the declared encoding is not UTF-8, the parser stops. Anyway, when there is no encoding declared,
Sassone defaults the encoding to UTF-8.
### Reference expansion
Sassone supports expanding character references and XML 1.0 predefined entity references, for example `A`
is expanded to `"A"`, `&` to `"&"`, and `&` to `"&"`.
Sassone does not expand external entity references, but provides an option to specify how they should be handled.
See more in "Shared options" section.
### Creation of atoms
Sassone does not create atoms during the parsing process.
### DTD and XSD
Sassone does not support parsing DTD (Doctype Definition) and XSD schemas. When encountering DTD, the parser simply
skips that.
### Shared options
* `:expand_entity` - specifies how external entity references should be handled. Three supported strategies respectively are:
* `:keep` - keep the original binary, for example `Orange ®` will be expanded to `"Orange ®"`, this is the default strategy.
* `:skip` - skip the original binary, for example `Orange ®` will be expanded to `"Orange "`.
* `{mod, fun, args}` - take the applied result of the specified MFA.
* `:never` - keep the original binary, including predefined entity reference, e.g. `"Orange &"` will remain `"Orange &"`
* `:cdata_as_characters` - `true` to emit CData events as `:characters`. Defaults to `true`.
## Encoder
Sassone offers two APIs to build simple form and encode XML document.
Use `Sassone.XML` to build and compose XML simple form, then `Sassone.encode!/2`
to encode the built element into XML binary.
iex> import Sassone.XML
iex> element = element("person", [attribute("gender", "female")], ["Alice"])
{nil, "person", [{nil, "gender", "female"}], ["Alice"]}
iex> Sassone.encode!(element, [version: "1.0"])
"<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><person gender=\"female\">Alice</person>"
See `Sassone.XML` for more XML building APIs.

@doc ~S"""
Parses XML binary data.
This function takes XML binary, SAX event handler (see more at `Sassone.Handler`) and an initial state as the input, it returns
`{:ok, state}` if parsing is successful, otherwise `{:error, exception}`, where `exception` is a
`Sassone.ParseError` struct which can be converted into readable message with `Exception.message/1`.
The third argument `state` can be used to keep track of data and parsing progress when parsing is happening, which will be
returned when parsing finishes.

Parses XML stream data.
This function takes a stream, SAX event handler (see more at `Sassone.Handler`) and an initial state as the input, it returns
`{:ok, state}` if parsing is successful, otherwise `{:error, exception}`, where `exception` is a
`Sassone.ParseError` struct which can be converted into readable message with `Exception.message/1`.

## Memory usage
`Sassone.parse_stream/3` takes a `File.Stream` or `Stream` as the input, so the amount of bytes to buffer in each
chunk can be controlled by `File.stream!/3` API.
During parsing, the actual memory used by Sassone might be higher than the number configured for each chunk, since
Sassone holds in memory some parsed parts of the original binary to leverage Erlang sub-binary extracting. Anyway,
Sassone tries to free those up when it makes sense.
### Options
See the “Shared options” section at the module documentation.

number. The option is useful when the tag being parsed containing a very large chunk of data. Defaults to `:infinity`.
