## Class SimpleParser

- java.lang.Object
- - tigase.xml.SimpleParser

-     public class SimpleParser
      extends Object

  `SimpleParser` - implementation of SAX parser. This is very basic implementation of XML parser designed especially to be light and parse XML streams like jabber XML stream. It is very efficient, capable of parsing parts of XML document received from the network connection as well as handling a few XML documents in one buffer. This is especially useful when parsing data received from the network. Packets received from the network can contain non-comlete XML document as well as a few complete XML documents. It doesn't support XML comments, processing instructions, document inclussions. Actually it supports only:
  - Start element event (with all attributes found).
  - End element even.
  - Character data event.
  - 'OtherXML' data event - everything between '<' and '>' if after < is '?' or '!'. So it can 'catch' doctype declaration, processing instructions but it can't process correctly commented blocks.
  Although very simple this imlementation is sufficient for Jabber protocol needs and is even used by some other packages of this server like implementation of `UserRepository` based on XML file or server configuration.

  It is worth to note also that this class is fully thread safe. It means that one instance of this class can be simultanously used by many threads. This is to improve resources usage when processing many client connections at the same time.

    - #### ATTRIBUTES_NUMBER_LIMIT_PROP_KEY

          public static final String ATTRIBUTES_NUMBER_LIMIT_PROP_KEY

      See Also:
        Constant Field Values

    - #### MAX_ATTRIBS_NUMBER_PROP_KEY

          public static final String MAX_ATTRIBS_NUMBER_PROP_KEY

      See Also:
        Constant Field Values

    - #### MAX_ELEMENT_NAME_SIZE_PROP_KEY

          public static final String MAX_ELEMENT_NAME_SIZE_PROP_KEY

      See Also:
        Constant Field Values

    - #### MAX_ATTRIBUTE_NAME_SIZE_PROP_KEY

          public static final String MAX_ATTRIBUTE_NAME_SIZE_PROP_KEY

      See Also:
        Constant Field Values

    - #### MAX_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_SIZE_PROP_KEY

          public static final String MAX_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_SIZE_PROP_KEY

      See Also:
        Constant Field Values

    - #### MAX_CDATA_SIZE_PROP_KEY

          public static final String MAX_CDATA_SIZE_PROP_KEY

      See Also:
        Constant Field Values

    - #### ATTRIBUTES_NUMBER_LIMIT

          public int ATTRIBUTES_NUMBER_LIMIT

    - #### MAX_ATTRIBS_NUMBER

          public int MAX_ATTRIBS_NUMBER

      Variable constant `MAX_ATTRIBS_NUMBER` keeps value of maximum possible attributes number. Real XML parser shouldn't have such limit but in most cases XML elements don't have too many attributes. For efficiency it is better to use fixed number of attributes and operate on arrays than on lists. Data structures will automaticly grow if real attributes number is bigger so there should be no problem with processing XML streams different than expected.

    - #### MAX_ATTRIBUTE_NAME_SIZE

          public int MAX_ATTRIBUTE_NAME_SIZE

    - #### MAX_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_SIZE

          public int MAX_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_SIZE

    - #### MAX_CDATA_SIZE

          public int MAX_CDATA_SIZE

    - #### MAX_ELEMENT_NAME_SIZE

          public int MAX_ELEMENT_NAME_SIZE
