Using Internet File System (iFS) to Build XML Applications, 5 of 11

## Using iFS Standard Parsers

iFS offers several standard parsers for creating applications in iFS. Table 15-1 lists the iFS standard parser classes.

##### Table 15-1 iFS Standard Parser Classes

Class | Description
--- | ---
SimpleXmlParser | Creates an object in the iFS repository from an XML document body. Used as the default parser for all XML documents stored in iFS. SimpleXmlParser extends XmlParser.
XmlParser | A base class for custom XML parser development.
SimpleTextParser | Provided as a starting point for developers who need to create a custom parser. The SimpleTextParser uses a simple name=value syntax.
ClassSelectionParser | Adds custom attributes to all files of a specified format. Performs no actual parsing.

### Parsing Options

The following parsing options are provided by iFS:

- SimpleXmlParser for minimal customization. It works for FTP, SMB, the Windows interface, and the iFS Web user interface using Upload via Drag and Drop.

- ClassSelectionParser. Does not perform actual parsing. It allows you to add one or more custom attributes to files with a specific file extension, such as all .doc files, before the files are stored in the repository. Maps class to a specific file format.
