Overview

A Cursor instance is created for each element encountered in the parsing run and is where the parsing result is constructed from the custom parsing template. The cursor is the glue between the handler and the resulting object build. The cursor receives input from the handler, loads the corresponding template data, and manipulates the incoming xml data to build the resulting object.

Each cursor is added to the stack when its element begins, and removed from the stack when its element ends. The cursor tracks all the important objects necessary to build the resulting object. If you call #cursor on the handler, you will always get the last object added to the stack. Think of a cursor as a framework of tools that accompany each element’s build process.

#get_callback(callback, caller_binding = binding, defaults = {}) ⇒ Object

Parse callback instructions, compile & send callback method ### This method will send a method to an object, with parameters, and return a new object. Input: string, symbol, or array of strings Returns: object Default options:

:object=>object
:method=>'a method name string or symbol'
:params=>"params string to be eval'd in context of cursor"

Usage:

callback: send a method (or eval string) to an object with parameters.
string: a string to be eval'd in context of current object.
symbol: method to be called on current object.
array: object, method, params.
  object: <object or string>
  method: <string or symbol>
  params: <string>

TODO-MAYBE: Change param order to (method, object, params),

might help confusion with param complexities.
