# pull

#### package pull

Classes needed to view an XML document as a series of events. The document is parsed by an XMLEventReader instance. You can treat it as an Iterator to retrieve the events, which are all subclasses of XMLEvent.

    scala> val source = Source.fromString("""<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
    <?instruction custom value="customvalue"?>
    <!DOCTYPE foo [
      <!ENTITY bar "BAR">
    ]><foo>Hello<bar>&bar;</bar><bar>&gt;</bar></foo>""")

    source: scala.io.Source = non-empty iterator

    scala> val reader = new XMLEventReader(source)
    reader: scala.xml.pull.XMLEventReader = non-empty iterator

    scala> reader.foreach{ println(_) }
    EvProcInstr(instruction,custom value="customvalue")
    EvText(
    )
    EvElemStart(null,foo,,)
    EvText(Hello)
    EvComment( this is a comment )
    EvElemStart(null,bar,,)
    EvText(BAR)
    EvElemEnd(null,bar)
    EvElemStart(null,bar,,)
    EvEntityRef(gt)
    EvElemEnd(null,bar)
    EvElemEnd(null,foo)
    EvText(

    )
