                                    PyXBSAXHandler

A SAX handler class which generates a binding instance for a document through a streaming parser.

An example of using this to parse the document held in the string xmls is:

 import pyxb.binding.saxer
 import StringIO

 saxer = pyxb.binding.saxer.make_parser()
 handler = saxer.getContentHandler()
 saxer.parse(StringIO.StringIO(xml))
 instance = handler.rootObject()

rootObject(self)

source code

Return the binding object corresponding to the top-most element in the document

Returns:

An instance of basis._TypeBinding_mixin (most usually a basis.complexTypeDefinition.

pyxb.[UnrecognizedDOMRootNodeError - No binding could be found to match the top-level element in the document.

Overrides: utils.saxutils.BaseSAXHandler.rootObject

reset(self)

source code

Reset the state of the handler in preparation for processing a new document.

Returns:: self
Overrides: utils.saxutils.BaseSAXHandler.reset

init(self, **kw)
(Constructor)

source code
