Parse XML in Android(tm) with xml-drafts-framework

Xml-drafts-framework is a small framework to parse XML based on XML-pull-parser for Android. This framework is written by me and open-sourced under apache license on github. It aims to work with XML and to write less code as possible.

1. you need an xml:

   <root>
   <item name="test-name" />
   </root>

2. set up your parser-states:

   enum States implements Tag {
     ITEM( "item "),
     ROOT( "root", ITEM)     
    ...

   }

3. write a parser based on states

   final XMLTagHandler tagHandler = 
                       new XMLTagHandler(States.ROOT, callback) {
   
     @Override
     protected void startTag(final Tag current, 
                        final XMLTagFacade facade)
             throws Exception {
   
         if( current == States.ITEM  ) {
                 System.out.println( "-- found an item: " 
                    + facade.getAttribute("name" ));
         }
     }
   
     @Override
     protected void closeTag(Tag current) 
             throws Exception {
         ;
     }
   };

4. run a parser

   final InpuStream in = ...;
   final XMLParserLoop loop = XMLParserLoop.create( tagHandler  );
   
   loop.useInput( in );
   loop.run();
