Parsing a single character at a time.

["Narayan, Shashank" <sn...@exchange.stk.com>]

Folks:
       I am working on an applications where the input for the parser needs
to come from memory rather than a  physical file URI. This app is capable of
feeding the parser one character at a time (or maybe a fixed length of
characters at a time). I figure I need to use the MemBufInputSource as my
InputSource for the parser. I have the following questions:

1.  Is it even possible to have the parser parse based on a single character
feed at a time ?
2. If so, how do I do it ? I don't understand how to make it work using the
parser.parseFirst(buf, token) and parser.parseNext(token). 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You couldn't reasaonbly use any existing input source. You'd have to do your
own input source and input stream. Even then I wouldn't think it would work
too great. You'd really want to gather up some amount of characters and then
present them to the parser.
