+module Psych
+ ###
+ # Psych::Handler is an abstract base class that defines the events used
+ # when dealing with Psych::Parser. Clients who want to use Psych::Parser
+ # should implement a class that inherits from Psych::Handler and define
+ # events that they can handle.
+ #
+ # Psych::Handler defines all events that Psych::Parser can possibly send to
+ # event handlers.
+ #
+ # See Psych::Parser for more details
+ class Handler
+ ###
+ # Called with +encoding+ when the YAML stream starts. This method is
+ # called once per stream. A stream may contain multiple documents.
+ #
+ # See the constants in Psych::Parser for the possible values of +encoding+.
+ def start_stream encoding
+ end
+
+ ###
+ # Called when the document starts with the declared +version+,
+ # +tag_directives+, if the document is +implicit+.
+ #
+ # +version+ will be an array of integers indicating the YAML version being
+ # dealt with, +tag_directives+ is a list of tuples indicating the prefix
+ # and suffix of each tag, and +implicit+ is a boolean indicating whether
+ # the document is started implicitly.
+ #
+ # === Example
+ #
+ # Given the following YAML:
+ #
+ # %YAML 1.1
+ # %TAG ! tag:tenderlovemaking.com,2009:
+ # --- !squee
+ #
+ # The parameters for start_document must be this:
+ #
+ # version # => [1, 1]
+ # tag_directives # => [["!", "tag:tenderlovemaking.com,2009:"]]
+ # implicit # => false
+ def start_document version, tag_directives, implicit
+ end
+
+ ###
+ # Called with the document ends. +implicit+ is a boolean value indicating
+ # whether or not the document has an implicit ending.
+ #
+ # === Example
+ #
+ # Given the following YAML:
+ #
+ # ---
+ # hello world
+ #
+ # +implicit+ will be true. Given this YAML:
+ #
+ # ---
+ # hello world
+ # ...
+ #
+ # +implicit+ will be false.
+ def end_document implicit
+ end
+
+ ###
+ # Called when an alias is found to +anchor+. +anchor+ will be the name
+ # of the anchor found.
+ #
+ # === Example
+ #
+ # Here we have an example of an array that references itself in YAML:
+ #
+ # --- &ponies
+ # - first element
+ # - *ponies
+ #
+ # &ponies is the achor, *ponies is the alias. In this case, alias is
+ # called with "ponies".
+ def alias anchor
+ end
+
+ ###
+ # Called when a scalar +value+ is found. The scalar may have an
+ # +anchor+, a +tag+, be implicitly +plain+ or implicitly +quoted+
+ #
+ # +value+ is the string value of the scalar
+ # +anchor+ is an associated anchor or nil
+ # +tag+ is an associated tag or nil
+ # +plain+ is a boolean value
+ # +quoted+ is a boolean value
+ # +style+ is an integer idicating the string style
+ #
+ # See the constants in Psych::Nodes::Scalar for the possible values of
+ # +style+
+ #
+ # === Example
+ #
+ # Here is a YAML document that exercises most of the possible ways this
+ # method can be called:
+ #
+ # ---
+ # - !str "foo"
+ # - &anchor fun
+ # - many
+ # lines
+ # - |
+ # many
+ # newlines
+ #
+ # The above YAML document contains a list with four strings. Here are
+ # the parameters sent to this method in the same order:
+ #
+ # # value anchor tag plain quoted style
+ # ["foo", nil, "!str", false, false, 3 ]
+ # ["fun", "anchor", nil, true, false, 1 ]
+ # ["many lines", nil, nil, true, false, 1 ]
+ # ["many\nnewlines\n", nil, nil, false, true, 4 ]
+ #
+ def scalar value, anchor, tag, plain, quoted, style
+ end
+
+ ###
+ # Called when a sequence is started.
+ #
+ # +anchor+ is the anchor associated with the sequence or nil.
+ # +tag+ is the tag associated with the sequence or nil.
+ # +implicit+ a boolean indicating whether or not the sequence was implicitly
+ # started.
+ # +style+ is an integer indicating the list style.
+ #
+ # See the constants in Psych::Nodes::Sequence for the possible values of
+ # +style+.
+ #
+ # === Example
+ #
+ # Here is a YAML document that exercises most of the possible ways this
+ # method can be called:
+ #
+ # ---
+ # - !!seq [
+ # a
+ # ]
+ # - &pewpew
+ # - b
+ #
+ # The above YAML document consists of three lists, an outer list that
+ # contains two inner lists. Here is a matrix of the parameters sent
+ # to represent these lists:
+ #
+ # # anchor tag implicit style
+ # [nil, nil, true, 1 ]
+ # [nil, "tag:yaml.org,2002:seq", false, 2 ]
+ # ["pewpew", nil, true, 1 ]
+
+ def start_sequence anchor, tag, implicit, style
+ end
+
+ ###
+ # Called when a sequence ends.
+ def end_sequence
+ end
+
+ ###
+ # Called when a map starts.
+ #
+ # +anchor+ is the anchor associated with the map or +nil+.
+ # +tag+ is the tag associated with the map or +nil+.
+ # +implicit+ is a boolean indicating whether or not the map was implicitly
+ # started.
+ # +style+ is an integer indicating the mapping style.
+ #
+ # See the constants in Psych::Nodes::Mapping for the possible values of
+ # +style+.
+ #
+ # === Example
+ #
+ # Here is a YAML document that exercises most of the possible ways this
+ # method can be called:
+ #
+ # ---
+ # k: !!map { hello: world }
+ # v: &pewpew
+ # hello: world
+ #
+ # The above YAML document consists of three maps, an outer map that contains
+ # two inner maps. Below is a matrix of the parameters sent in order to
+ # represent these three maps:
+ #
+ # # anchor tag implicit style
+ # [nil, nil, true, 1 ]
+ # [nil, "tag:yaml.org,2002:map", false, 2 ]
+ # ["pewpew", nil, true, 1 ]
+
+ def start_mapping anchor, tag, implicit, style
+ end
+
+ ###
+ # Called when a map ends
+ def end_mapping
+ end
+
+ ###
+ # Called when an empty event happens. (Which, as far as I can tell, is
+ # never).
+ def empty
+ end
+
+ ###
+ # Called when the YAML stream ends
+ def end_stream
+ end
+ end
