Pull Parser
-----------
Key: MIME4J-19
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-19
Project: Mime4j
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 0.3
Reporter: Jochen Wiedmann
Fix For: 0.4
The attached patch introduces a new class called MimeTokenStream, which is a
"Pull Parser" for MIME documents. The class is basically a rewrite of the
MimeStreamParser. The patch does also provide a rewrite of the MimeStreamParser
itself, based on the MimeTokenStream.
Pull parsers are technically a little bit more difficult. However, from the
users perspective, they are much more preferrable, because writing an
application on top of a pull parser is much easier than based on an event
handler.
I would like to rewrite the commons-fileupload component based on mime4j.
However, as commons-fileupload provides a pull parser API, we depend on the
presence of a similar API in mime4j. Not providing a pull parser API would
mean, that we'd need to duplicate mime4j code into commons-fileupload, which is
certainly not desirable.
