Parsers Layer

Parsing classes should simply take some input stream and convert it into a valid DOM. For text/html and text/xml the result is a logical grove or tree of Elements. For parsing text/plain, the parser could simply create a DOM of one element whose contents would be all the text in the file. Other files types which could be parsed into a tree structure include: C, Java, (any programming language), mail, news, amigaguide, (any hypertext format which could be transmitted over the WWW), etc.

Possible Class/Interfaces

pedantiWEB.parsers.GenericParser

For parsing things. It would be given an input stream and a string describing the type. Based on that it would use the proper specific class.

pedantiWEB.parsers.MIME.text.GenericParser

For text of unknown type.

pedantiWEB.parsers.MIME.text.plain.GenericParser

pedantiWEB.parsers.MIME.text.html.GenericParser

pedantiWEB.parsers.MIME.text.xml.GenericParser

pedantiWEB.parsers.MIME.application.rtf.GenericParser

pedantiWEB.parsers.MIME.application.x-latex.GenericParser
