luerlxml

Simple XML Parser in Erlang based on LuaXML, from Paul Chakravarti and luerl, lua interpreter from Robert Virding.

It is a POC how you can use luerl interpreter in your project, by embedding lua code.

I don't know how efficient this parser is. Some benchmarking needs to be done.

Usage

Build:

make deps compile

You need to start an application:

1> luerlxml:start().
ok

And then you have two parsers available:

dom_parser:

2> luerlxml:dom_parser(<<"<a>123</a>">>).
{ok,[{<<"_children">>,
      [[{<<"_children">>,
         [[{<<"_text">>,<<"123">>},{<<"_type">>,<<"TEXT">>}]]},
        {<<"_name">>,<<"a">>},
        {<<"_type">>,<<"ELEMENT">>}]]},
     {<<"_type">>,<<"ROOT">>}]}

simple_tree_parser:

3> luerlxml:simple_tree_parser(<<"<a>123</a>">>).
{ok,[{<<"a">>,<<"123">>}]}

Tests

There is a really minimum of tests added, just to show that it is working ;-)

$  make test
==> luerlxml (ct)
DONE.
