>&#13;		The module <TT
CLASS="classname"
>XmlParser</TT
> provides the parse functions for parsing XML files and building an <TT
CLASS="literal"
>XmlTree</TT
>. The parser bases on Parsec [<SPAN
CLASS="citation"
><A
HREF="b2463.html#bib_parsec"
><SPAN
CLASS="abbrev"
>WWW29</SPAN
></A
></SPAN
>], a free monadic parser combinator library for Haskell and does not need any look-ahead. The lexer and the parser are not separated. A feature of this parser is that nearly all parse functions can be implemented as it is defined by the productions in the XML 1.0 specification [<SPAN

>&#13;		Like filters are composed with filter combinators in the Haskell XML Toolbox, parsing is usually done with parser combinators in Haskell. Simple parser functions are combined with these higher-order functions to complex ones. The parser combinators are control structures that represent the operators used it the productions of syntax definitions.
		</P

>&#13;		An XML parser has to deal with different character sets. The parser of the Haskell XML Toolbox works internally with Unicode (UTF-8) encoding. The module <TT
CLASS="classname"
>Unicode</TT
> provides several conversion functions for different character sets.
