This represents the entire XML structure.

• processingInstructions: <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="style.xsl"?>
• docType: <!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM "foo.xml">
• root: <root><foo/></root>

Processing Instruction such as <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="style.xsl"?>.

The example above is parsed as { name = "xml-stylesheet", value = "type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"style.xsl\"" }. The value (presudo attributes) should be parsed by application.

Doc Type Declaration starting with "<!DOCTYPE".

This contains root element name and rest of details as DocTypeDefinition.

DTD (Doc Type Definition)

• Public: <!DOCTYPE root PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
• System: <!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM "foo.xml">
• Custom: <!DOCTYPE root [ <!ELEMENT ...> ]>

Node is either a element such as <a name="value">foo</a> or text such as foo.

Attribute such as name="value"

Parse XML string.

<?xml ... ?> and <!DOCTYPE ... > is optional so you don't need to ensure them.

> import XmlParser
> XmlParser.parse """<a name="value">foo</a>"""
Ok { processingInstructions = [], docType = Nothing, root = Element "a" ([{ name = "name", value = "value" }]) ([Text "foo"]) }

A problem when parsing. See the elm/parser documentation for details.
