Integrate xml5ever XML parser
Introductiont
Rust
Rust is a general-purpose, compiled programming language developed by Mozilla Research. The syntax of Rust is somewhat similar to C and C++, with blocks of code delimited by curly brackets, and control flow and structure. Rust does not use automatic garbage collection mechanism similar to java. It accomplishes the goals of memory safe without using garbage collection and it supports concurrency and parallelism in building platforms.
Servo
Servo is web browser layout engine developed by Mozilla Research. It was developed in Rust. Servo handles parallel environments such as rendering, layout, image decoding as a separate tasks. Servo provides APIs, JavaScript support. Servo was not developed explicitly to create full web browser but to achieve maximum parallelism.
Project Description
Servo currently lacks a parser for XML documents, which prevents implementation of several APIs. The goal of the project is to integrate xml5ever parser into Servo.
Initial Implementation
To achieve project goal we have done following initial steps. Complied servo and add xml5ever as a dependency to the script using cargo package manager. To do this we edited Cargo.toml located at components/script by adding xml5ever as a dependency.
Added xml.rs at components/script/parse with parse_xml() as a function. mod.rs also need to be modified in order to declare file. Added ServoXMLParser interface with necessary stubs in servoxmlparser.rs located at components/script/dom. Also servoxmlparser need to be declared in mod.rs located at components/script/dom Called parse_xml(); from domparser.rs located at components/script/dom this will help compile.
