graphtage.xml

A graphtage.Filetype for parsing, diffing, and rendering XML files.

This class is also currently used for parsing HTML.

The parser is implemented atop xml.etree.ElementTree. Any XML or HTML accepted by that module will also be accepted by this module.

xml classes

HTML

class graphtage.xml.HTML

Bases: XML

The HTML file type.

Builds an intermediate representation tree from a file of this Filetype.

Parameters:

path – Path to the file to parse
options – An optional set of options for building the tree

Returns:

The root tree node of the provided file

Return type:

TreeNode

build_tree_handling_errors(path: str, options: BuildOptions | None = None) → str | TreeNode

Same as Filetype.build_tree(), but it should return a human-readable error string on failure.

This function should never throw an exception.

Parameters:

path – Path to the file to parse
options – An optional set of options for building the tree

Returns:

On success, the root tree node, or a string containing the error message on failure.

Return type:

Union[str, TreeNode]

get_default_formatter() → XMLFormatter: Returns the default formatter for printing files of this type.

XML

class graphtage.xml.XML

Bases: Filetype

The XML file type.

Instantiates a new formatter.

This automatically instantiates and populates Formatter.sub_formatters and sets their parent to this new formatter.

delimiter_callback: Callable[[Printer], Any]

edit_print(printer: Printer, edit: Edit)

Called when the edit for an item is to be printed.

If the SequenceNode being printed either is not edited or has no edits, then the edit passed to this function will be a Match(child, child, 0).

This implementation simply delegates the print to the Formatting Protocol:

self.print(printer, edit)

This is also called one extra time after the last node, if there is at least one node printed.

The default implementation is simply:

printer.newline()

Returns a Printer context with an indentation.

This is called as:

with self.items_indent(printer) as p:

immediately after the self.start_symbol is printed, but before any of the items have been printed.

Formats a sequence node.

The protocol for this function is as follows:

Print self.start_symbol
With the printer returned by self.items_indent:
- For each edit in the sequence (or just a sequence of graphtage.Match for each child, if the node is not edited):
  
  Call self.item_newline(printer, is_first=index == 0)

tag: StringNode: The tag of this element.

text: StringNode | None: The text of this element.

to_obj()

Returns a pure Python representation of this node.

For example, a node representing a list, like graphtage.ListNode, should return a Python list. A node representing a mapping, like graphtage.MappingNode, should return a Python dict. Container nodes should recursively call TreeNode.to_obj() on all of their children.

initial_bounds: Range

is_complete() → bool

An edit is complete when no further calls to Edit.tighten_bounds() will change the nature of the edit.

This implementation considers an edit complete if it is valid and its bounds are definitive:

return not self.valid or self.bounds().definitive()

If an edit is able to discern that it has a unique solution even if its final bounds are unknown, it should reimplement this method to define that check.

For example, in the case of a CompoundEdit, this method should only return True if no future calls to Edit.tighten_bounds() will affect the result of CompoundEdit.edits().

Returns:: True if subsequent calls to Edit.tighten_bounds() will only serve to tighten the bounds of this edit and will not affect the semantics of the edit.
Return type:: bool

on_diff(from_node: EditedTreeNode)

A callback for when an edit is assigned to an EditedTreeNode in TreeNode.diff().

This default implementation adds the edit to the node, and recursively calls Edit.on_diff() on all of the sub-edits:

from_node.edit = self
from_node.edit_list.append(self)
for edit in self.edits():
    edit.on_diff(edit.from_node)

Parameters:: from_node – The edited node that was added to the diff

print(formatter: GraphtageFormatter, printer: Printer)

Edits can optionally implement a printing method

This function is called automatically from the formatter in the Printing Protocol and should never be called directly unless you really know what you’re doing! Raising NotImplementedError will cause the formatter to fall back on its own printing implementations.

This implementation is equivalent to:

for edit in self.edits():
    edit.print(formatter, printer)

tag_edit: Edit: The edit to transform this element’s tag.

text_edit: Edit | None: The edit to transform this element’s text.

tighten_bounds() → bool

Tightens the Edit.bounds() on the cost of this edit, if possible.

Returns:: True if the bounds have been tightened.

The protocol for determining how a node or edit should be printed is very complex due to its extensibility. See the Printing Protocol for a detailed description.

print_StringEdit(printer: Printer, edit: StringEdit)

print_StringNode(printer: Printer, node: StringNode)

property root: Formatter[T]: Returns the root formatter.

sub_format_types: Sequence[Type['Formatter[T]']] = (): A list of formatter types that should be used as sub-formatters in the Formatting Protocol.

sub_formatters: List['Formatter[T]'] = []

The list of instantiated formatters corresponding to Formatter.sub_format_types.

This list is automatically populated by Formatter.__new__() and should never be manually modified.

write_char(printer: Printer, c: str, index: int, num_edits: int, removed=False, inserted=False)

Writes a character to the printer.

Note

This function calls graphtage.StringFormatter.escape(); classes extending graphtage.StringFormatter should also call graphtage.StringFormatter.escape() when reimplementing this function.

Note

There is no need to specially format characters that have been removed or inserted; the printer will have already automatically been configured to format them prior to the call to StringFormatter.write_char().

Parameters:

printer – The printer to which to write the character.
c – The character to write.
index – The index of the character in the string.
num_edits – The total number of characters that will be printed.
removed – Whether this character was removed from the source string.
inserted – Whether this character is inserted into the source string.

write_end_quote(printer: Printer, edit: StringEdit): Prints an ending quote for the string, if necessary

write_start_quote(printer: Printer, edit: StringEdit): Prints a starting quote for the string, if necessary

xml functions

build_tree

graphtage.xml.build_tree(path_or_element_tree: str | Element | ElementTree, options: BuildOptions | None = None) → XMLElement: Constructs an XML element node from an XML file.
