Public Instance Methods

parse(xml, target = nil, &unhandled_callback) click to toggle source

Parses the XML document, returning a parsed structure.

If you pass a block, this will yield for XML elements that are not modeled in the rules given to the constructor.

parser.parse(xml) do |path, value|
  puts "uhandled: #{path.join('/')} - #{value}"
end

The purpose of the unhandled callback block is to allow callers to access values such as the EC2 request ID that are part of the XML body but not part of the operation result.

@param [String] xml An XML document string to parse. @param [Structure] target (nil) @return [Structure]

# File lib/aws-sdk-core/xml/parser.rb, line 41
def parse(xml, target = nil, &unhandled_callback)
  xml = '<xml/>' if xml.nil? or xml.empty?
  stack = Stack.new(@rules, target, &unhandled_callback)
  @engine.new(stack).parse(xml.to_s)
  stack.result
end
