Hi people,

I've just got the expat library. Could you please tell me where I should 
stick it so that the system recognizes it? I'm running Mandrake Linux.

Thank you.

The typical way to install Expat on Unix and Linux is to build from
sources using "./configure; make", then install as the priviledged
user using "make install".

Is that not working for you?  I'm not aware of what Gnome is
expecting, and haven't used Mandrake for some time.  I've never
actually used Mac OS X.  These may have specific expectations of the
installation that go beyond the normal Expat installation.

Subject: [Expat-discuss] Question about "piece-wise" parsing 
Message-ID: <DEPHLCLCGJNBHBAA@mailcity.com>

Hi,

I'm faily new to xml and expat. I think my question is better illustrated with an example. Suppose I have this XML stream:

<element1>
<elem2 attrib1="sample" attrib2="another sample"/>
<elem3 attrib1="hello" attrib2="world"/>
</element1>

Can expat parse this stream if it was "cut-off" or "broken" at any point? Can I call XML_Parse with this data,

<element1>
<elem2 attrib1="sample" attrib2="anot

then call it a second time with the rest of the stream,

her sample"/>
<elem3 attrib1="hello" attrib2="world"/>
</element1>

Can expat handle this directly? If not, any suggestions on how to go about this?

Thanks!

I don't think anyone on our team has done that.
I am not even sure it would compile on a 16bit compiler at all.

Feel free to try - and let us know what your results are.
A google search on "OS/2 expat" might help.

Hi, all

I'm learning expat.
I'm trying to parse a simple xml file. Something like below.

<something>
	<data attrib="oneData" attrib2="oneData2">value</data>
</something>

I wrote a startElement function like the prototype below.
void startElement(void *data, const XML_Char *el, const XML_Char **attr);

I can get "attrib" and "attrib2" (and "oneData" and "oneData2") from the
"attr" parameter.
But how can I get the "value" ?

Thanks in advance.

After startElement is called the function registered with
XML_SetCharacterDataHandler will be called with the enclosed text. Then
endElement or whatever end tag handler you registered will be called. See
the examples and read the tutorial on xml.com.

I don't think so. Perhaps you can search for the invalid characters
in the buffers passed to XML_ParseBuffer and convert them in-place to
something benign.

Hi,

I'm new on this mailing list, so apologies in advance if this question 
is frequently asked. I need XML parsing functionality in a product I'm 
working on, and expat seemed the obvious choice. However, I'm debating 
between which of two versions to use: the old 1.2 available from James 
Clark's site, or the new 1.95.6 from libexpat.org.

Stability is a requirement for me, and I noticed some disclaimer saying 
that "odd-numbered minor versions should be considered beta-quality." 
However, I'm wondering whether to take the disclaimer with a grain of 
salt. My question is, which is *actually* more stable: 1.2 or 1.95.6?

Thanks,
Dan Rosen

I joined the Expat team shortly after 1.95.2 was released,
and we have tried to make each release better than the previous one.
I cannot confirm that odd version numbers are worse.

I have never tried version 1.2, but others will hopefully
report their experiences with it.

It should work. Have a look at xmlwf.c for how it is done.

No, it should not be ignored.

All characters must be UTF-8 encoded, no exceptions.
If you want to put arbitrary binary data into a CDATA section,
then you must encode them. Base64 encoding generates output
compatible with UTF-8.
