+=head1 NAME
+
+XML::SAX - Simple API for XML
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use XML::SAX;
+
+ # get a list of known parsers
+ my $parsers = XML::SAX->parsers();
+
+ # add/update a parser
+ XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::PurePerl));
+
+ # remove parser
+ XML::SAX->remove_parser(q(XML::SAX::Foodelberry));
+
+ # save parsers
+ XML::SAX->save_parsers();
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+XML::SAX is a SAX parser access API for Perl. It includes classes
+and APIs required for implementing SAX drivers, along with a factory
+class for returning any SAX parser installed on the user's system.
+
+=head1 USING A SAX2 PARSER
+
+The factory class is XML::SAX::ParserFactory. Please see the
+documentation of that module for how to instantiate a SAX parser:
+L<XML::SAX::ParserFactory>. However if you don't want to load up
+another manual page, here's a short synopsis:
+
+ use XML::SAX::ParserFactory;
+ use XML::SAX::XYZHandler;
+ my $handler = XML::SAX::XYZHandler->new();
+ my $p = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->parser(Handler => $handler);
+ $p->parse_uri("foo.xml");
+ # or $p->parse_string("<foo/>") or $p->parse_file($fh);
+
+This will automatically load a SAX2 parser (defaulting to
+XML::SAX::PurePerl if no others are found) and return it to you.
+
+In order to learn how to use SAX to parse XML, you will need to read
+L<XML::SAX::Intro> and for reference, L<XML::SAX::Specification>.
+
+=head1 WRITING A SAX2 PARSER
+
+The first thing to remember in writing a SAX2 parser is to subclass
+XML::SAX::Base. This will make your life infinitely easier, by providing
+a number of methods automagically for you. See L<XML::SAX::Base> for more
+details.
+
+When writing a SAX2 parser that is compatible with XML::SAX, you need
+to inform XML::SAX of the presence of that driver when you install it.
+In order to do that, XML::SAX contains methods for saving the fact that
+the parser exists on your system to a "INI" file, which is then loaded
+to determine which parsers are installed.
+
+The best way to do this is to follow these rules:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * Add XML::SAX as a prerequisite in Makefile.PL:
+
+ WriteMakefile(
+ ...
+ PREREQ_PM => { 'XML::SAX' => 0 },
+ ...
+ );
+
+Alternatively you may wish to check for it in other ways that will
+cause more than just a warning.
+
+=item * Add the following code snippet to your Makefile.PL:
+
+ sub MY::install {
+ package MY;
+ my $script = shift->SUPER::install(@_);
+ if (ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt(
+ "Do you want to modify ParserDetails.ini?", 'Y')
+ =~ /^y/i) {
+ $script =~ s/install :: (.*)$/install :: $1 install_sax_driver/m;
+ $script .= <<"INSTALL";
+
+ install_sax_driver :
+ \t\@\$(PERL) -MXML::SAX -e "XML::SAX->add_parser(q(\$(NAME)))->save_parsers()"
+
+ INSTALL
+ }
+ return $script;
+ }
+
+Note that you should check the output of this - \$(NAME) will use the name of
+your distribution, which may not be exactly what you want. For example XML::LibXML
+has a driver called XML::LibXML::SAX::Generator, which is used in place of
+\$(NAME) in the above.
+
+=item * Add an XML::SAX test:
+
+A test file should be added to your t/ directory containing something like the
+following:
+
+ use Test;
+ BEGIN { plan tests => 3 }
+ use XML::SAX;
+ use XML::SAX::PurePerl::DebugHandler;
+ XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::MyDriver));
+ local $XML::SAX::ParserPackage = 'XML::SAX::MyDriver';
+ eval {
+ my $handler = XML::SAX::PurePerl::DebugHandler->new();
+ ok($handler);
+ my $parser = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->parser(Handler => $handler);
+ ok($parser);
+ ok($parser->isa('XML::SAX::MyDriver');
+ $parser->parse_string("<tag/>");
+ ok($handler->{seen}{start_element});
+ };
+
+=back
+
+=head1 EXPORTS
+
+By default, XML::SAX exports nothing into the caller's namespace. However you
+can request the symbols C<Namespaces> and C<Validation> which are the
+URIs for those features, allowing an easier way to request those features
+via ParserFactory:
+
+ use XML::SAX qw(Namespaces Validation);
+ my $factory = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->new();
+ $factory->require_feature(Namespaces);
+ $factory->require_feature(Validation);
+ my $parser = $factory->parser();
