9.1 Writing XHTML documents

9.2 Parsing XHTML documents

This section describes the relationship between XML and the DOM, with a particular emphasis on how this interacts with HTML.

An XML parser, for the purposes of this specification, is a construct that follows the rules given in the XML specification to map a string of bytes or characters into a Document object.

At the time of writing, no such rules actually exist.

An XML parser is either associated with a Document object when it is created, or creates one implicitly.

This Document must then be populated with DOM nodes that represent the tree structure of the input passed to the parser, as defined by the XML specification, the Namespaces in XML specification, and the DOM specification. DOM mutation events must not fire for the operations that the XML parser performs on the Document's tree, but the user agent must act as if elements and attributes were individually appended and set respectively so as to trigger rules in this specification regarding what happens when an element is inserted into a document or has its attributes set, and the DOM specification's requirements regarding mutation observers mean that mutation observers are fired (unlike mutation events). [XML] [XMLNS] [DOM] [DOMEVENTS]

Between the time an element's start tag is parsed and the time either the element's end tag is parsed or the parser detects a well-formedness error, the user agent must act as if the element was in a stack of open elements.

This is used by the object element to avoid instantiating plugins before the param element children have been parsed.

This specification provides the following additional information that user agents should use when retrieving an external entity: the public identifiers given in the following list all correspond to the URL given by this link. (This URL is a DTD containing the entity declarations for the names listed in the named character references section.) [XML]

• -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN
• -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN
• -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN
• -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN
• -//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN
• -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0//EN
• -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0 plus SVG 1.1//EN
• -//W3C//DTD MathML 2.0//EN
• -//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN

Furthermore, user agents should attempt to retrieve the above external entity's content when one of the above public identifiers is used, and should not attempt to retrieve any other external entity's content.

This is not strictly a violation of the XML specification, but it does contradict the spirit of the XML specification's requirements. This is motivated by a desire for user agents to all handle entities in an interoperable fashion without requiring any network access for handling external subsets. [XML]

When an XML parser creates a script element, it must be marked as being "parser-inserted" and its "force-async" flag must be unset. If the parser was originally created for the XML fragment parsing algorithm, then the element must be marked as "already started" also. When the element's end tag is parsed, the user agent must perform a microtask checkpoint, provide a stable state, and then prepare the script element. If this causes there to be a pending parsing-blocking script, then the user agent must run the following steps:

1. Block this instance of the XML parser, such that the event loop will not run tasks that invoke it.

2. Spin the event loop until the parser's Document has no style sheet that is blocking scripts and the pending parsing-blocking script's "ready to be parser-executed" flag is set.

3. Unblock this instance of the XML parser, such that tasks that invoke it can again be run.

4. Execute the pending parsing-blocking script.

5. There is no longer a pending parsing-blocking script.

Since the document.write() API is not available for XML documents, much of the complexity in the HTML parser is not needed in the XML parser.

When an XML parser would append a node to a template element, it must instead append it to the template element's template contents (a DocumentFragment node).

This is a willful violation of the XML specification; unfortunately, XML is not formally extensible in the manner that is needed for template processing. [XML]

When an XML parser creates a Node object, its ownerDocument must be set to the Document of the node into which the newly created node is to be inserted.

Certain algorithms in this specification spoon-feed the parser characters one string at a time. In such cases, the XML parser must act as it would have if faced with a single string consisting of the concatenation of all those characters.

When an XML parser reaches the end of its input, it must stop parsing, following the same rules as the HTML parser. An XML parser can also be aborted, which must again by done in the same way as for an HTML parser.

For the purposes of conformance checkers, if a resource is determined to be in the XHTML syntax, then it is an XML document.

9.3 Serializing XHTML fragments

The XML fragment serialization algorithm for a Document or Element node either returns a fragment of XML that represents that node or throws an exception.

For Documents, the algorithm must return a string in the form of a document entity, if none of the error cases below apply.

For Elements, the algorithm must return a string in the form of an internal general parsed entity, if none of the error cases below apply.

In both cases, the string returned must be XML namespace-well-formed and must be an isomorphic serialization of all of that node's relevant child nodes, in tree order. User agents may adjust prefixes and namespace declarations in the serialization (and indeed might be forced to do so in some cases to obtain namespace-well-formed XML). User agents may use a combination of regular text and character references to represent Text nodes in the DOM.

A node's relevant child nodes are those that apply given the following rules:

For template elements

The relevant child nodes are the child nodes of the template element's template contents, if any.

For all other nodes

The relevant child nodes are the child nodes of node itself, if any.

For Elements, if any of the elements in the serialization are in no namespace, the default namespace in scope for those elements must be explicitly declared as the empty string. (This doesn't apply in the Document case.) [XML] [XMLNS]

For the purposes of this section, an internal general parsed entity is considered XML namespace-well-formed if a document consisting of an element with no namespace declarations whose contents are the internal general parsed entity would itself be XML namespace-well-formed.

If any of the following error cases are found in the DOM subtree being serialized, then the algorithm must throw an InvalidStateError exception instead of returning a string:

• A Document node with no child element nodes.
• A DocumentType node that has an external subset public identifier that contains characters that are not matched by the XML PubidChar production. [XML]
• A DocumentType node that has an external subset system identifier that contains both a """ (U+0022) and a "'" (U+0027) or that contains characters that are not matched by the XML Char production. [XML]
• A node with a local name containing a ":" (U+003A).
• A node with a local name that does not match the XML Name production. [XML]
• An Attr node with no namespace whose local name is the lowercase string "xmlns". [XMLNS]
• An Element node with two or more attributes with the same local name and namespace.
• An Attr node, Text node, Comment node, or ProcessingInstruction node whose data contains characters that are not matched by the XML Char production. [XML]
• A Comment node whose data contains two adjacent U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS characters (-) or ends with such a character.
• A ProcessingInstruction node whose target name is an ASCII case-insensitive match for the string "xml".
• A ProcessingInstruction node whose target name contains a ":" (U+003A).
• A ProcessingInstruction node whose data contains the string "?>".

These are the only ways to make a DOM unserializable. The DOM enforces all the other XML constraints; for example, trying to append two elements to a Document node will throw a HierarchyRequestError exception.

When the algorithm must produce a serialization of a template element, the string returned must contain a serialization of the child nodes of the template element's content DocumentFragment, rather than the template element's children.

9.4 Parsing XHTML fragments

The XML fragment parsing algorithm either returns a Document or throws a SyntaxError exception. Given a string input and an optional context element context, the algorithm is as follows:

1. Create a new XML parser.

2. If there is a context element, feed the parser just created the string corresponding to the start tag of that element, declaring all the namespace prefixes that are in scope on that element in the DOM, as well as declaring the default namespace (if any) that is in scope on that element in the DOM.

   A namespace prefix is in scope if the DOM lookupNamespaceURI() method on the element would return a non-null value for that prefix.

   The default namespace is the namespace for which the DOM isDefaultNamespace() method on the element would return true.

   If there is a context element, no DOCTYPE is passed to the parser, and therefore no external subset is referenced, and therefore no entities will be recognized.

3. Feed the parser just created the string input.

4. If there is a context element, feed the parser just created the string corresponding to the end tag of that element.

5. If there is an XML well-formedness or XML namespace well-formedness error, then throw a SyntaxError exception and abort these steps.

6. If there is a context element, and the root element of the resulting Document has any sibling nodes, then throw a SyntaxError exception and abort these steps.

7. If there is a context element, then return the child nodes of the root element of the resulting Document, in tree order.

   Otherwise, return the children of the Document object, in tree order.
