HTML::TreeBuilder::toSAX - SAX export of HTML::TreeBuilder trees
use HTML::TreeBuilder::toSAX;
my $tree= HTML::TreeBuilder::toSAX->new();
$tree->parse_file( 'example.html');
# write using a SAX1 writer
use XML::Handler::YAWriter;
my $writer1 = XML::Handler::YAWriter->new( AsFile => '-', Pretty => $pretty);
$tree->toSAX1( $writer1);
# write using a SAX2 writer
use XML::SAX::Writer;
my $writer2 = XML::SAX::Writer->new( );
$tree->toSAX2( $writer2);
HTML::TreeBuilder::toSAX is a subclass of HTML::TreeBuilder that allows SAX export for a tree.
The tree itself is subclassed as an HTML::TreeBuilder::toSAX object, and its elements are subclassed as HTML::Element::toSAX instead of the normal HTML::Element
SAX1 export of a tree
SAX2 export of a tree
the code for parsing the XML declaration, if present, and the document (<!DOCTYPE ...) declaration is very crude and most likely buggy
with the current (3.13) version of HTML::TreeBuilder some of the elements are not properly subclassed as HTML::Element::toSAX until after the tree has been exported using a toSAXn method
with the current (3.13) version of HTML::TreeBuilder you cannot use the elementify method on a tree prior to exporting with a toSAXn method
more tests are (always!) needed, especially SAX1 tests
