This
mapping describes the form of the parsed data stream returned from
the
z/OS XML parser.
It contains the following:
- A structure describing the fixed portion of a record in the data
stream. This includes the record type and assorted flags describing
the characteristics of the record.
- A structure to map the length value pairs (if there are any) that
make up the variable portion of the record.
- A structure describing the format of string identifiers (StringIDs)
used to represent the strings associated with a record when the StringIDs
feature is enabled.
- Structures to map the special records that represent buffer information
(data stream metadata), error information, and auxiliary information.
The items defined in this mapping provide a complete interface
for the caller to make use of the parsed data stream returned from
a parse request. See
Parsing XML documentsfor more a
more detailed explanation of the
z/OS XML parsed data
stream.
