Detailed Description

The InputSource allows the XML readers to read input as an unicode character stream. It converts the encoding, if required, and supports blocking and non-blocking operation. Line information and the XML or text declaration are provided by each input source. Input sources are not only used for the main document, but also for entites and external DTD subsets.

Member Function Documentation

std::streamsize import ( )

If no more characters can be read directly from the input stream buffer without blocking read operations, the virtual method onInput() is called. The number of available characters is returned, which can be 0 if no data is available.

void init ( std::basic_streambuf< Char > *  rdbuf = 0,
XmlDeclaration decl = 0 
)
protected

The derived input sources must call this method once the XML or text declaration is parsed or if none was found. Normally, this is done in the virtual methods onGet() and onImport(), which are called by the public interface methods get() and import() when no buffer was set yet. The passed buffer and declaration are owned by the derived class.
