The interface for tree arrows
all functions have default implementations
Methods
mkLeaf :: Tree t => b -> a c (t b)construct a leaf
mkTree :: Tree t => b -> [t b] -> a c (t b)construct an inner node
getChildren :: Tree t => a (t b) (t b)select the children of the root of a tree
getNode :: Tree t => a (t b) bselect the node info of the root of a tree
hasNode :: Tree t => (b -> Bool) -> a (t b) (t b)select the attribute of the root of a tree
setChildren :: Tree t => [t b] -> a (t b) (t b)substitute the children of the root of a tree
setNode :: Tree t => b -> a (t b) (t b)substitute the attribute of the root of a tree
changeChildren :: Tree t => ([t b] -> [t b]) -> a (t b) (t b)edit the children of the root of a tree
changeNode :: Tree t => (b -> b) -> a (t b) (t b)edit the attribute of the root of a tree
processChildren :: Tree t => a (t b) (t b) -> a (t b) (t b)apply an arrow element wise to all children of the root of a tree collect these results and substitute the children with this result
example:
processChildren isTextdeletes all subtrees, for which isText does not holdexample:
processChildren (none `when` isCmt)removes all children, for which isCmt holdsreplaceChildren :: Tree t => a (t b) (t b) -> a (t b) (t b)similar to processChildren, but the new children are computed by processing the whole input tree
example:
replaceChildren (deep isText)selects all subtrees for which isText holds and substitutes the children component of the root node with this list(/>) :: Tree t => a b (t c) -> a (t c) d -> a b dinfixl 5pronounced "slash", meaning g inside f
defined as
f /> g = f >>> getChildren >>> gexample:
hasName "html" /> hasName "body" /> hasName "h1"This expression selects all "h1" elements in the "body" element of an "html" element, an expression, that corresponds 1-1 to the XPath selection path "html/body/h1"
(//>) :: Tree t => a b (t c) -> a (t c) d -> a b dinfixl 5pronounced "double slash", meaning g arbitrarily deep inside f
defined as
f //> g = f >>> getChildren >>> deep gexample:
hasName "html" //> hasName "table"This expression selects all top level "table" elements within an "html" element, an expression. Attention: This does not correspond to the XPath selection path "html//table". The latter on matches all table elements even nested ones, but
//>gives in many cases the appropriate functionality.(</) :: Tree t => a (t b) (t b) -> a (t b) (t b) -> a (t b) (t b)infixl 5pronounced "outside" meaning f containing g
defined as
f </ g = f `containing` (getChildren >>> g)deep :: Tree t => a (t b) c -> a (t b) crecursively searches a whole tree for subtrees, for which a predicate holds. The search is performed top down. When a tree is found, this becomes an element of the result list. The tree found is not further examined for any subtress, for which the predicate also could hold. See multi for this kind of search.
example:
deep isHtmlTableselects all top level table elements in a document (with an appropriate definition for isHtmlTable) but no tables occuring within a table cell.deepest :: Tree t => a (t b) c -> a (t b) cmulti :: Tree t => a (t b) c -> a (t b) crecursively searches a whole tree for subtrees, for which a predicate holds. The search is performed top down. All nodes of the tree are searched, even within the subtrees of trees for which the predicate holds.
example:
multi isHtmlTableselects all table elements, even nested ones.processBottomUp :: Tree t => a (t b) (t b) -> a (t b) (t b)recursively transforms a whole tree by applying an arrow to all subtrees, this is done bottom up depth first, leaves first, root as last tree
example:
processBottomUp (getChildren `when` isHtmlFont)removes all font tags in a HTML document, even nested ones (with an appropriate definition of isHtmlFont)processTopDown :: Tree t => a (t b) (t b) -> a (t b) (t b)similar to processBottomUp, but recursively transforms a whole tree by applying an arrow to all subtrees with a top down depth first traversal strategie. In many cases processBottomUp and processTopDown give same results.
processBottomUpWhenNot :: Tree t => a (t b) (t b) -> a (t b) (t b) -> a (t b) (t b)recursively transforms a whole tree by applying an arrow to all subtrees, but transformation stops when a predicte does not hold for a subtree, leaves are transformed first
processTopDownUntil :: Tree t => a (t b) (t b) -> a (t b) (t b)recursively transforms a whole tree by applying an arrow to all subtrees, but transformation stops when a tree is successfully transformed. the transformation is done top down
example:
processTopDownUntil (isHtmlTable `guards` tranformTable)transforms all top level table elements into something else, but inner tables remain unchangedinsertChildrenAt :: Tree t => Int -> a (t b) (t b) -> a (t b) (t b)computes a list of trees by applying an arrow to the input and inserts this list in front of index i in the list of children
example:
insertChildrenAt 0 (deep isCmt)selects all subtrees for which isCmt holds and copies theses in front of the existing childreninsertChildrenAfter :: Tree t => a (t b) (t b) -> a (t b) (t b) -> a (t b) (t b)similar to insertChildrenAt, but the insertion position is searched with a predicate
insertTreeTemplate :: Tree t => a (t b) (t b) -> [IfThen (a (t b) c) (a (t b) (t b))] -> a (t b) (t b)an arrow for inserting a whole subtree with some holes in it (a template) into a document. The holes can be filled with contents from the input.
Example
insertTreeTemplateTest :: ArrowXml a => a b XmlTree insertTreeTemplateTest = doc >>> insertTreeTemplate template pattern where doc -- the input data = constA "<x><y>The Title</y><z>The content</z></x>" >>> xread template -- the output template with 2 holes: xxx and yyy = constA "<html><head><title>xxx</title></head><body><h1>yyy</h1></body></html>" >>> xread pattern = [ hasText (== "xxx") -- fill the xxx hole with the input contents from element "x/y" :-> ( getChildren >>> hasName "y" >>> deep isText ) , hasText (== "yyy") -- fill the yyy hole with the input contents from element "x/z" :-> ( getChildren >>> hasName "z" >>> getChildren ) ]computes the XML tree for the following document
"<html><head><title>The Title</title></head><body><h1>The content</h1></body></html>"
