+ This class provides an interface to the XML parser,
+ {{http://matthewwild.co.uk/projects/luaexpat/|LuaExpat}}. It provides a SAX interface with an
+ incremental XML parser.</p>
+ <p>
+ With an event-based API like SAX the XML document can be fed to the parser in chunks, and the
+ parsing begins as soon as the parser receives the first document chunk. LuaExpat reports parsing
+ events (such as the start and end of elements) directly to the application through callbacks. The
+ parsing of huge documents can benefit from this piecemeal operation.</p>
+ <p>
+ See the online
+ {{http://matthewwild.co.uk/projects/luaexpat/manual.html#parser|LuaExpat documentation}} for details
+ on how to work with this parser. The code examples below should provide some basic help, too.
