BloombergLP::balxml::Reader::XmlResolverFunctor

Type for a user supplied functor that finds and opens an external resource for the specified location and/or namespaceUri and returns that resource as a managed pointer to a stream. The location argument specifies the location of the external resource and is typically a filename or a URI, depending on the context. The namespaceUri argument always refers to the XML namespace of the entity to be resolved. A conforming functor returns an empty managed pointer if it cannot resolve the resource. For example, the reader may use a resolver to open an external entity, even if the reader does not do validation (see definition of <!ENTITY> in the XML standard). Note that either argument can be NULL in situations where its value is not needed or can be computed from the other argument.
