Using the Pull Parser

This API is experimental, and subject to change.

parser = PullParser.new( "<a>text<b att='val'/>txet</a>" )
while parser.has_next?
  res = parser.next
  puts res[1]['att'] if res.start_tag? and res[0] == 'b'
end

See the PullEvent class for information on the content of the results. The data is identical to the arguments passed for the various events to the StreamListener API.

Notice that:

parser = PullParser.new( "<a>BAD DOCUMENT" )
while parser.has_next?
  res = parser.next
  raise res[1] if res.error?
end

Nat Price gave me some good ideas for the API.

Generates a index files for use as a gem server.

Raised when a bad requirement is encountered

Specifies a Specification object that should be activated. Also contains a dependency that was used to introduce this activation.

Represents a specification retrieved via the rubygems.org API.

This is used to avoid loading the full Specification object when all we need is the name, version, and dependencies.

A GitSpecification represents a gem that is sourced from a git repository and is being loaded through a gem dependencies file through the git: option.
