class ConstructingParser extends ConstructingHandler with ExternalSources with MarkupParser

An xml parser. parses XML and invokes callback methods of a MarkupHandler. Don't forget to call next.ch on a freshly instantiated parser in order to initialize it. If you get the parser from the object method, initialization is already done for you.

object parseFromURL {
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    val url = args(0)
    val src = scala.io.Source.fromURL(url)
    val cpa = scala.xml.parsing.ConstructingParser.fromSource(src, false) // fromSource initializes automatically
    val doc = cpa.document()

    // let's see what it is
    val ppr = new scala.xml.PrettyPrinter(80, 5)
    val ele = doc.docElem
    println("finished parsing")
    val out = ppr.format(ele)
    println(out)

    The library and compiler parsers had the interesting distinction of different behavior for nextch (a function for which there are a total of two plausible behaviors, so we know the design space was fully explored.) One of them returned the value of nextch before the increment and one of them the new value.

    The library and compiler parsers had the interesting distinction of different behavior for nextch (a function for which there are a total of two plausible behaviors, so we know the design space was fully explored.) One of them returned the value of nextch before the increment and one of them the new value. So to unify code we have to at least temporarily abstract over the nextchs.
