## This module implements a simple high performance `XML`:idx: / `HTML`:idx:
## parser.
## The only encoding that is supported is UTF-8. The parser has been designed
## to be somewhat error correcting, so that even most "wild HTML" found on the
## web can be parsed with it. **Note:** This parser does not check that each
## ``<tag>`` has a corresponding ``</tag>``! These checks have do be
## implemented by the client code for various reasons:
##
## * Old HTML contains tags that have no end tag: ``<br>`` for example.
## * HTML tags are case insensitive, XML tags are case sensitive. Since this
##   library can parse both, only the client knows which comparison is to be
##   used.
## * Thus the checks would have been very difficult to implement properly with
##   little benefit, especially since they are simple to implement in the
##   client. The client should use the `errorMsgExpected` proc to generate
##   a nice error message that fits the other error messages this library
##   creates.

Example 1: Retrieve HTML title
==============================

The file ``examples/htmltitle.nim`` demonstrates how to use the
XML parser to accomplish a simple task: To determine the title of an HTML
document.

.. code-block:: nim

    # Example program to show the parsexml module
    # This program reads an HTML file and writes its title to stdout.
    # Errors and whitespace are ignored.

    import os, streams, parsexml, strutils

    if paramCount() < 1:
      quit("Usage: htmltitle filename[.html]")

    var filename = addFileExt(paramStr(1), "html")
    var s = newFileStream(filename, fmRead)
    if s == nil: quit("cannot open the file " & filename)
    var x: XmlParser
    open(x, s, filename)
    while true:
      x.next()
      case x.kind
      of xmlElementStart:
        if cmpIgnoreCase(x.elementName, "title") == 0:
          var title = ""
          x.next()  # skip "<title>"
          while x.kind == xmlCharData:
            title.add(x.charData)
            x.next()
          if x.kind == xmlElementEnd and cmpIgnoreCase(x.elementName, "title") == 0:
            echo("Title: " & title)
            quit(0) # Success!
          else:
            echo(x.errorMsgExpected("/title"))

      of xmlEof: break # end of file reached
      else: discard # ignore other events

    x.close()
    quit("Could not determine title!")

Example 2: Retrieve all HTML links
==================================

The file ``examples/htmlrefs.nim`` demonstrates how to use the
XML parser to accomplish another simple task: To determine all the links
an HTML document contains.

.. code-block:: nim

    # Example program to show the new parsexml module
    # This program reads an HTML file and writes all its used links to stdout.
    # Errors and whitespace are ignored.

    import os, streams, parsexml, strutils

    proc `=?=` (a, b: string): bool =
      # little trick: define our own comparator that ignores case
      return cmpIgnoreCase(a, b) == 0

    if paramCount() < 1:
      quit("Usage: htmlrefs filename[.html]")

    var links = 0 # count the number of links
    var filename = addFileExt(paramStr(1), "html")
    var s = newFileStream(filename, fmRead)
    if s == nil: quit("cannot open the file " & filename)
    var x: XmlParser
    open(x, s, filename)
    next(x) # get first event
    block mainLoop:
      while true:
        case x.kind
        of xmlElementOpen:
          # the <a href = "xyz"> tag we are interested in always has an attribute,
          # thus we search for ``xmlElementOpen`` and not for ``xmlElementStart``
          if x.elementName =?= "a":
            x.next()
            if x.kind == xmlAttribute:
              if x.attrKey =?= "href":
                var link = x.attrValue
                inc(links)
                # skip until we have an ``xmlElementClose`` event
                while true:
                  x.next()
                  case x.kind
                  of xmlEof: break mainLoop
                  of xmlElementClose: break
                  else: discard
                x.next() # skip ``xmlElementClose``
                # now we have the description for the ``a`` element
                var desc = ""
                while x.kind == xmlCharData:
                  desc.add(x.charData)
                  x.next()
                echo(desc & ": " & link)
          else:
            x.next()
        of xmlEof: break # end of file reached
        of xmlError:
          echo(errorMsg(x))
          x.next()
        else: x.next() # skip other events

    echo($links & " link(s) found!")
    x.close()
