Action	Description
parse	Parses an XML document using SAX internally.

pi	Can be placed within <p:parse> or <p:element> in order to handle processingInstruction() SAX events.

<parse>

Parses an XML document using SAX internally. The body may contain a <p:start> action for processing the startDocument() SAX event, followed by a <p:element> action for processing the document's root element, followed by an optional <p:end> action for processing the endDocument() SAX event.

Syntax: XML content specified via an input source
<p:parse xml="XML content" [systemId="string"] [validate="true|false"] [ignoreSpaces="true|false"]> ....actions that process the XML content... </p:parse>

Syntax: XML content specified via a system identifier
<p:parse systemId="string" [validate="true|false"] [ignoreSpaces="true|false"]> ...actions that process the XML content... </p:parse>

Attribute	Dynamic	Type	Default	Description
xml	yes	org.xml.sax.InputSource java.io.InputStream java.io.Reader String	null	XML input source that must be parsed.
systemId	yes	String	null	System identifier of the XML input source that must be parsed.
validate	yes	boolean	false	Flag indicating if the parser should validate the XML input source.
ignoreSpaces	yes	boolean	false	Flag indicating if space character data should be ignored.

<element>

Exports variables that hold an element's namespace URI, local name, qualified name and attributes. The body may process a DOM sub-tree or may contain sub-actions that process the SAX events that are generated between a startElement() event and an endElement() event. If the varDom attribute is present, this action exports a variable holding the root element of a DOM sub-tree and the body may not contain any actions of this library. If the varDom attribute isn't present, no DOM variable is exported and the body may contain a <p:start> action for processing the startElement() SAX event, followed by one or more <p:element> and <p:data> actions for processing the sub-elements and the character data, followed by an optional <p:end> action for processing the endElement() SAX event.

Attribute	Dynamic	Type	Default	Description
varDom	no	String	null	Name of the dom variable exported by this action. The presence of this variable indicates that the application wants a DOM tree for processing rather than a sequence of SAX events. The root node of the DOM sub-tree will be the value of the dom variable.
scopeDom	no	String	page	Scope of the dom variable exported by this action.
varName	no	String	name	Name of the name variable exported by this action. The element's local name will be the value of the name variable.
scopeName	no	String	page	Scope of the name variable exported by this action.
testName	yes	String	null	If this attribute is present and its value is not the same as the local name of the current parsed element, the body content of <p:element> will not be evaluated.
varQname	no	String	qname	Name of the qname variable exported by this action. The element's qualified name will be the value of the qname variable.
scopeQname	no	String	page	Scope of the qname variable exported by this action.
testQname	yes	String	null	If this attribute is present and its value is not the same as the qualified name of the current parsed element, the body content of <p:element> will not be evaluated.
varUri	no	String	uri	Name of the uri variable exported by this action. The element's namespace URI will be the value of the uri variable.
scopeUri	no	String	page	Scope of the uri variable exported by this action.
testUri	yes	String	null	If this attribute is present and its value is not the same as the namespace URI of the current parsed element, the body content of <p:element> will not be evaluated.
varAttr	no	String	attr	Name of the attr variable exported by this action. The element's attributes will be the value of the attr variable.
scopeAttr	no	String	page	Scope of the attr variable exported by this action.
scope	no	String	page	Default scope for the variables exported by this action.
test	yes	boolean	true	If this attribute is present and it evaluates to false, the body of <p:element> will not be evaluated.

<start>

Can be placed within <p:parse> or <p:element> in order to handle a startDocument() or startElement() SAX event.

Syntax:
<p:start> ...scripting code that processes the SAX event... </p:parse>

<end>

Can be placed within <p:parse> or <p:element> in order to handle an endDocument() or endElement() SAX event.

Syntax:
<p:end> ...scripting code that processes the SAX event... </p:end>

<data>

Can be placed within <p:element> in order to handle characters() SAX events. It exports a variable that holds the character data.

Attribute	Dynamic	Type	Default	Description
varData	no	String	data	Name of the data variable exported by this action. The value of the data variable will be the XML character data.
scopeData	no	String	page	Scope of the data variable exported by this action.
scope	no	String	page	Default scope for the variables exported by this action.

<pi>

Can be placed within <p:parse> or <p:element> in order to handle processingInstruction() SAX events. It exports two variables that hold the target and data of the processing instruction.

Attribute	Dynamic	Type	Default	Description
varTarget	no	String	target	Name of the target variable exported by this action. The processing instruction's target will be the value of the target variable.
scopeTarget	no	String	page	Scope of the target variable exported by this action.
testTarget	yes	String	null	If this attribute is present and its value is not the same as the target of the current processing instruction, the body content of <p:pi> will not be evaluated.
varData	no	String	data	Name of the data variable exported by this action. The processing instruction's data will be the value of the data variable.
scopeData	no	String	page	Scope of the data variable exported by this action.
scope	no	String	page	Default scope for the variables exported by this action.
test	yes	boolean	true	If this attribute is present and it evaluates to false, the body of <p:pi> will not be evaluated.
