 # perl-XML-Parser
 
+This module provides ways to parse XML documents.
+It is built on top of XML::Parser::Expat, which is a lower level interface to James Clark's expat library.
+Each call to one of the parsing methods creates a new instance of XML::Parser::Expat which is then used to parse the document.
+Expat options may be provided when the XML::Parser object is created.
+These options are then passed on to the Expat object on each parse call.
+They can also be given as extra arguments to the parse methods, in which case they override options given at XML::Parser creation time.
+
+The behavior of the parser is controlled either by "Style" and/or "Handlers" options, or by "setHandlers" method.
+These all provide mechanisms for XML::Parser to set the handlers needed by XML::Parser::Expat.
+If neither Style nor Handlers are specified, then parsing just checks the document for being well-formed.
+
+When underlying handlers get called, they receive as their first parameter the Expat object, not the Parser object.

+This module provides ways to parse XML documents.
+It is built on top of XML::Parser::Expat, which is a lower level interface to James Clark's expat library.
+Each call to one of the parsing methods creates a new instance of XML::Parser::Expat which is then used to parse the document.
+Expat options may be provided when the XML::Parser object is created.
+These options are then passed on to the Expat object on each parse call.
+They can also be given as extra arguments to the parse methods, in which case they override options given at XML::Parser creation time.

+The behavior of the parser is controlled either by "Style" and/or "Handlers" options, or by "setHandlers" method.
+These all provide mechanisms for XML::Parser to set the handlers needed by XML::Parser::Expat.
+If neither Style nor Handlers are specified, then parsing just checks the document for being well-formed.
