Dear folks,

                 I am new to C programming language and xml. I need to
create and parse the xml documents using 'C'. Can I use expat library to
create and reading the xml documents? My special intention is creation of
xml documents with dynamic data. Please give suggestions to me.

 

Thanks & Regards

Sanjeevi.

Some propaganda by my side, but you can use the SCEW library. It
allows you to create dynamic XML documents and it parses them using
Expat.

It would be good, though, that you use the development branch, as SCEW
1.0 is really near and the API has changed a bit and is now quite
stable. But if you want to stay stable, just download the latest
version, you should not have any problems upgrading your source code
when SCEW 1.0 shows up.

Best regards,

Aleix

Subject: [Expat-discuss] Inconsistency in expat?
Message-ID: <496954360909191453p65e764ddyf754e31903e8f8fe@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,
I see that in the expat_static.dsp project located in the 'lib' directory of
the neon tarball distribution the following two preprocessor directives are
defined:

_LIB
COMPILED_FROM_DSP

However, according to expat_external.h, the macro XML_STATIC determines if
'dllimport' is used or not. How are the DSP projects building static
versions of expat without having this defined? Also, I can't seem to find
out where dllexport is being set.

Additionally, what is the difference between the identically named files in
<expat>/lib and <expat>/Source/lib? Why duplicate these?

Subject: [Expat-discuss] Handling pernicious mixed content
Message-ID: <hcqab599t2nml15h963arha5roj9orn61u@4ax.com>


As required by the XML spec, expat reports all whitespace
within elements.  In most cases, it's easy to determine if
the whitespace should be retained or not.  If the element
can contain text (#PCDATA), keep it; if the element cannot 
contain text, discard it.

But there are two elements in DITA (and one in DocBook)
that create ambiguity: the table cell wrapper, <entry>
in DITA, and the lits element wrapper, <li> in DITA.
DocBook calls it "pernicious mixed content" in Entry
(in Norm Walsh's O'Reilly DocBook book, on page 211).

For each, the content can include text but also block
elements.  So if you have:
<ul>
 <li>
  <p>Something.</p?
 </li>
 <li> or something else.</li?
</ul>
and normalize whitespace, you'd expect:
 *Something,
 * or something else.
not:
 * Something,
 * or something else.
or:
 *Something,
 *or something else.

This is acknowledged as an intractable problem in DocBook,
for the SGML parser, but clearly those using the parsers
must solve it in some way.  One answer is, if you see a block
element within the wrapper, discard the preceding whitespace.
Is there a better one?

Thanks!

Subject: [Expat-discuss] A small tool 'Xml2Line' using 'libexpat' (Need some
	comments)
Message-ID: <h98b9t$jup$1@ger.gmane.org>

Hi,

I created a small tool 'Xml2Line'. 'Xml2Line' will take standard input
and give output in such a way that, other unix filters can easily
operate on that xml data. The format of Xml2Line will be like below,

    <tag1 attribute="value">
      <tag2 attribute="value">data</tag2>
    </tag1>

    to

    tag1[attribute=value]|tag2[attribute=value]{data}

Here is the source, http://github.com/mohan43u/Xml2Line

I don't know how much useful this output format is, but like to get
inputs from the experts to find the best format for other unix line
commands(especially 'grep') to operate on XML data.

Waiting for your comments,

Thanks,
Mohan R.

why don't you just use xpath?

Subject: [Expat-discuss] ExpatMM 1.0.2 release announcement
Message-ID: <4AB78027.9020606@intellitree.com>

Hello,

You are receiving this email because you've communicated with me 
previously as an expatmm user.

I would like to announce that I've released ExpatMM version 1.0.2 at 
http://devzone.intellitree.com/projects/expatmm/

The following minor changes were made (since 1.0.1):

1) Updates to automake's init that shouldn't affect normal users (select 
'foreign' style in configure.ac)
2) Fixed the buffer initialization bug when sizeof(XML_Char) != sizeof(char)

Please see the contained ChangeLog for complete history.
