Re: [xml] DOM parser uses SAX2

[Akash Opensource <akash opensource gmail com>]

Hi Nick ,

Thank you very much for your explanation.It really helps.

From test file I meant sample *.xml file that can be used to go for statement coverage. 

For example I got a *.xml file in test folder of libxml2 extracted source directory that contained a long element name more than 4000 characters and it was possible for me to hit a debug point related to such a large element name handling.

Similarly xml files with utf8 and utf16 helped in covering encoding related if conditions in encoding.c source file.

Thanks & Regards,

Akash

The event-based SAX parser is used to build a DOM tree. There's nothing
special about that, just like you could walk a DOM tree to generate SAX events.

You can get coverage reports with the usual compiler options and tools.

What do you mean by "more test files"?
