GLib.MarkupParseContext.parse

### Method

# GLib MarkupParseContextparse

#### Declaration [src]

    gboolean
    g_markup_parse_context_parse (
      GMarkupParseContext* context,
      const gchar* text,
      gssize text_len,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description [src]

Feed some data to the `GMarkupParseContext`.

The data need not be valid UTF-8; an error will be signaled if it’s invalid. The data need not be an entire document; you can feed a document into the parser incrementally, via multiple calls to this function. Typically, as you receive data from a network connection or file, you feed each received chunk of data into this function, aborting the process if an error occurs. Once an error is reported, no further data may be fed to the `GMarkupParseContext`; all errors are fatal.

#### Parameters

`text`

  Type: `const gchar*`

  Chunk of text to parse.

  The data is owned by the caller of the method.
  The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

`text_len`

  Type: `gssize`

  Length of `text` in bytes.

`error`

  Type: `GError **`

  The return location for a recoverable error.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  If the return location is not `NULL`, then you must initialize it to a `NULL` `GError*`.
  The argument will be left initialized to `NULL` by the method if there are no errors.
  In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated `GError`; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

#### Return value

Type: `gboolean`

`FALSE` if an error occurred, `TRUE` on success.
