Interesting. It would work with my XML data structure, assuming I 
used a block for the attributes rather than a hash (something I considered 
anyway).

it looks to me as if he's creating some form of pseudo XML tags. 
my dialect looks like any other rebol code (yes, I care a lot about 
the appearance of the dialect), and I think his goal is more to be 
for template, where my dialect is not meant for templates at all. 
My goal is to describe webpages in as little code as possible in 
100% REBOL style.

and what's up with that xml you have wrapping your output?

I like how rebol handles tagged data, xml, html, etc.

I am surprised save can't serialize rebol datastructures in xml formats

IMO non-loadable things should not be moldable. So in this case make 
limits on mold, so that the mold fails with such values. Reason: 
IMO under no circumstances should a save destroy values (at least 
not from the inbuild side). Better throw the last changes away with 
a "cant save, internal error" than overwrite valid data with broken 
one. Specially if rebol is a "public" format like xml, where everyone 
can send data and trigger a broken save.

We have XML-RPC for intercommunication, my guess is - not used much, 
but fine when you want to connect to server, which does use it.


Rugby - RPC broker. VERY easy to use, you would be surprised! You 
simply start server, you define which functions you expose, something 
like server [my-func1 my-func2] and then you just connect. It uses 
functions stubs, so actually your source code is not revealed to 
client.

I think, it is a plus to know functional programming. And if the 
programmer is used to do more than one thing in each line/statement, 
that will help also, when learning REBOL. Things like:

insert back tail serie somefunc + 1


is often seen in REBOL. Experience with scripting languages is probably 
also a plus. I too had a background on the Amiga, staring in 1987 
with an A500. In the 90'ies I started to explore the operating system 
more closely, and then it was natural to check out, what Carl was 
up to. Prior to REBOL, I've programmed in many languages incl. C, 
C++, 6502 ASM, PASCAL, COBOL, LOGO and sh and csh scripting. I develop 
many different things with REBOL from graphical applications, games 
and astronomical applications to tools, languages, databases, xml-stuff, 
word processor, etc. It's very few things, I would choose another 
language than REBOL to do.

The fact that it's one small yet complete executable and rebol.org 
has scripts for things like XML etc. ... I have seen REBOL scale 
from netowrk management tools to e-bank prototypes to ...

Hi all, can Rebol load XML structures straight into a block ?????

You can with my RebXML found here:
http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/rebxml/


The script xml2rebxml.r read an XML structure into a block with content 
defined in the spec:
http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/rebxml/rebxml-spec.html

Kinda ... out of the box XML is not 100% but   load/markup  may do 
what you want for some cases


If that is not sufficient, some rebols have written  extensions. 
  Umm, like John just posted.  :)

'parse-xml is a standard REBOL function in 'core that does some basic 
XML processing. It may be enough for you.

I use Gavin's XML-parse functions every day:

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=xml-parse.r

Not tried John's yet :-)

PARSE-XML is a built-in func as well. Not as complete as Gavin's, 
but works well for basic things. The biggest mod I've made to it 
is to swap the order of element value and attributes in the resulting 
block. That way you can address the value using path notation or 
SELECT. Working with attributes takes a little more work.

Surrounding text with "\verse" and "/verse" looks just like XML.

At work, we use those formats intensively: for project docs, for 
official documents, even for generating psychotechnical tests skelettons 
in XML dialects... So it would be great if a standadization could 
take place, keeping the best of the two worlds MD2 and MDP.

In the same area, there is also my NicomDoc: http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/nicomdoc/

I think, my approach has some advantages over both MD2 and MDP. I 
convert to/from an internal XML-kind of format called RebXML, which 
is much easier to work with, when making importers/exporters to different 
formats. RebXML is defined here: http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/rebxml/

I'm not sure, if anyone else found my ideas to be usefull, when I 
talked about it here half a year ago, and I haven't have much time 
to do more with NicomDoc, but it's not a dead project.

And don't let the XML part acare you away, it's NOT XML, as you know 
it, just the good thoughts from XML. RebXML is based on blocks, words 
and strings.

XML: Well, I choose to use a block based intermediate format coming 
from the MDP parser. It's because you can handle it the Rebol style 
and it makes writing a one-pass emitter quite easy.

I've been toying with this to obtain a very parsable "dialect" -- 
my goal being to scrape live game updates from a certain sports web 
site (for personal use, natch).  It's reliant on 'parse-xml though, 
so ymmv....

do http://www.ross-gill.com/r/scrape.r
probe load-xml some-xml

This is a result of using parse-xml and some cleanup

Graham - what xml REBOL tool do you use? I might need to parse XML 
stuff soon. In the past I used one tool (don't remember the author), 
which made object from parsed data automatically ...

gxs is a string of your xml listed above.

I pasted your code here, which loads the block. I guess the XML parser 
produces the output with those values as words.

foreach item load/markup xml [if not tag? item[ print item]]

I was thinking streamed XML, but yes :)

I just want to be able to better parse XML namespaces and all.

Then make actions for data to go to JSON, XML, XHTML, back and forth 
to a database,....

regex I imagine sucks at structured stuff , where you have to make 
some sort of state machine , for example I don't think regex can 
well parse xml ... state machines are exelent at that but they do 
require more code than parse would

I don't know the exact term for this but I build many parsers for 
things like xml, wiki text and some other custom things in various 
lower level langauges using simple state machine (at least that's 
how I called it)... To my understanding you can parse anything with 
something like that, also structured nested data with it but it of 
course takes some more coding than this rebol solution... what I 
mean as a state machine is a loop that accepts characters or words 
and has a predefined number of states and code for what to do at 
each state and when to switch to another state etc..

rollback would be neet as a parse keyword  :-)  it would allow us 
to break several levels at once... something I would have needed 
when I did my XML schema validation engine.

will new parser enahncements help us to get better XML family support? 
:-)

I mean - we are not too strong with XML based stuff. Are new enhancements 
going to eventually simplify XML parsing? But maybe even R2 parser 
is good enough to have full XML support?

How can you simplify XML parsing?  What's simple about it?

pekr, parsing an xml file itself is quite easy.  


Actually, its converting and validating the xml schema or DTD which 
is complex because, basically you have to compile a new parse rule 
out of misaligned parsing concepts.  this will never be easier, until 
someone builds (and makes public) a simple to use, *complete* interpretation 
of each XML-based spec.  XML schema, xpath, etc.

Is there any advantage in breaking up charsets that represent a large 
varied range of the 16-bit character space? For example, XML names 
are defined as below (excluding > 2 ** 16), but are most commonly 
limited to the ascii-friendly subset:

	w1: charset [

  #"A" - #"Z" #"_" #"a" - #"z" #"^(C0)" - #"^(D6)" #"^(D8)" - #"^(F6)" 
  #"^(F8)" - #"^(02FF)"

  #"^(0370)" - #"^(037D)" #"^(037F)" - #"^(1FFF)" #"^(200C)" - #"^(200D)" 
  #"^(2070)" - #"^(218F)"

  #"^(2C00)" - #"^(2FEF)" #"^(3001)" - #"^(D7FF)" #"^(f900)" - #"^(FDCF)" 
  #"^(FDF0)" - #"^(FFFD)"
	]
	w+: charset [

  #"-" #"." #"0" - #"9" #"A" - #"Z" #"_" #"a" - #"z" #"^(B7)" #"^(C0)" 
  - #"^(D6)"

  #"^(D8)" - #"^(F6)" #"^(F8)" - #"^(037D)" #"^(037F)" - #"^(1FFF)" 
  #"^(200C)" - #"^(200D)"

  #"^(203F)" - #"^(2040)" #"^(2070)" - #"^(218F)" #"^(2C00)" - #"^(2FEF)" 
  #"^(3001)" - #"^(D7FF)"
		#"^(f900)" - #"^(FDCF)" #"^(FDF0)" - #"^(FFFD)"
	]
	word: [w1 any w+]

yes, you are right .. if you can write partser for php then you can 
make anything with it. I always supposed parse with charsets is like 
low level step by one char in a looop and call "events" and change 
states , with which you can parse anything from xml to languages 
.. well but parse with charsets is still much more elegant

I get whats happening now.  If i compare buffer and file I see the 
clipped text:

>> probe file
== "index.html"

>> probe buffer

Should I have been able to see the results instead of  == false?

Now I know I can't use r3 for parsing xml .... :(

http://www.curecode.org/rebol3/ticket.rsp?id=1449

I'm trying to validate some XML against an online validator and it's 
rejecting my dates :(

Anyone got a parse rule that strips out everything between tags in 
an "xml" document

whitespace: charset [ "^/^- " ]
    swsp: [ any whitespace ]
    result: copy ""

    parse/all pqri-xml  [ some [ copy t thru ">" (append result t) swsp 
    to "<" ]]

there might even be some java there too that transforms the wiki 
markup to xml

but overall it is good - feels realtime. I wonder if SVG has future? 
Is that new replacement for technology as DHTML, which never became 
widely used? There is plenty of W3C XML stuff, I wonder if they keep 
that under control or what the future of the web holds ....

do you find anything XML being readable, when compared to rebol dialects?

basically SVG is a XML  structure but for several reasons i choose 
to pass thru a XML 2 Object converstion and then I  treat the SVG 
infos converted to rebol objet structure ;)

main reaseon to act like that xas svg recursion structure is a nightmare 
if you use parse or xml-parse

xml-to-object? Are you talking about Gavain Mckenzie's parsing XML 
stuff?

I found it being really excellent ... but - it is based upon old-good 
'parse itself of course :-) anyway - way much more usefull than xml-parse, 
which is imo absolutly insufficient for real work - but it is long 
time I looked into it ...

Right now: Only one path at a time and it's monochrome. I'm not sure 
which path types are supported. You can't load XML files with it, 
only pure path data.

well My svg engine is working and got trouble only with matrix calulations 
due to an odd bug in the adapted version. Next i don't like the way 
my SVG works  I wish to be able to do it  in plain parse way (My 
method in not really elegant but it works fine  in most cases SVG 
is an XML file so the XML data is converted to REBOL  objects using 
parse and then i process those objects to convert into draw/Agg instructions). 
That was the fastest way i found at that time since what was important 
to me was the result not the beauty of the processing way.

http://shadwolf.free.fr/svg-demo-shad06.ris the lastest version 
of my SVG engine. Well in fact parse gives me head haches only when 
i have to parse XML  datas ...

Do you specify content-type if you produce the output? It doesn't 
look goot if you open it in browser, I should look better than XML 
for newbies.

I hope I'm looking better than XML :)))

Yes.

If you clicked the link I gave above, then you saw a page served 
as text/html  [probably should be textplain -- so I've changed it]
If you try format=rss then you get a page served as text/xml


In both cases, the output is not meant for humans: one format is 
for REBOL and one for RSS readers.

last week we finished upgrade of SAP after 5 years .... I saw some 
initial doc done in XML, XSLT etc. .... Firefox was not able to display. 
Imo the thing is, that SAP supports IE only ... what a world ....

I don't know if this is useful to anyone or not, but a couple of 
weeks ago I wrote a xanga parser to save posts and comments in a 
wordpress xml format.  http://www.timwylie.com/xword.html

xml dialect ?

Some core Twitter API functions: http://www.ross-gill.com/r/twitter.html

Ok, those were icons vs. menu. As for tree-view, menu, grid data 
blocks. It is still the same problem, of how to efficiently use rebol 
structure (block of blocks) to represent tree (=in the meaning of 
hierarchy here). If we think twice, we can see that similar discussion 
is being held in XML group. We parse XML, and want to store it somehow 
efficiently, being able to navigate to some path(node), to read some 
item, but also to change it etc ...

Well, if you assume that your internal storage method is one which 
just needs to be "converted" to an other, like CSV => XML, you might 
be in for a suprise when trying to model a real time dynamic system 
with Undo like a paint program with a file format as export.


For example, do you store a given object once, with the history of 
the object elsewhere, or do you store the object together, with the 
most recent at the top of the list.

Also, Do you store objects, and actions, or both togther.

1 pass i convert SVG raw datas from the XML format to rebol objets

ok, now I understand ... I know that current DOM-via-js is not very 
much powerfull, but we have at least something. Or we need proper 
XML parser then?

the tool accesses a web service through XML from an IIS server so 
the server's manager doesn't even see the difference  :-)

it's using xml...

it's not compiled... just XML and javascript... I really don't know, 
if I would like to write rich apps in XML... but it looks it nice 
adept for a new Rebol dialect:]

Oldes - what the heck is that? :-) Are we supposed to see source 
code of rich aps in XML or what? :-)

look at this... XML made from JS http://silverlight.net/samples/1.0/Tile-Text/js/Scene.xaml.js

F3 is renamed as JavaFX. http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/pr/2007-05/sunflash.20070508.2.xml
 Now we have Silverlight/WPF, Apollo, and JavaFX .

I would refer to most of XML (tag based stuff) as insane brainfuck!

Well, you might be locked into precisely ajax, XML and managing session 
data in a non-persistent way, which is not optimal if you're building 
an application. We already know that, we're REBOLers. :-) He talks 
also about maintaining data persistence across sessions.

yuck, what a mess of XML files

are we not surprised that Google does not use XML for it's protocols??

I'm not.....Google is shuffling terabytes of data with very short 
response times.

XML may be a good archive/interchange format -- a better .CSV format 
-- but it just does not scale for operational systems of the size 
Google has.

Flex is just a really ugly mix of XML, ActionScript and hardcoded 
SWF components. One thing is, that you can create forms quickly (with 
the Flex Builder IDE?) and another to create own complete application 
which does something more than submits data to java server.

any language that uses XML as its interface should not have the right 
to be called a language.

Maxim, you don't have to use XML at all.  You can simply code everything 
in AS3 and then compile if you like.

If you get any salesman in an IT dept which has XML capabilities 
(and they are getting used, really) and in 15 minutes, LOADS their 
data structures, instances, edits them and spits them right back 
out using a simple command line interface... welll...  case closed.

hehe they are sometimes scare tactics by IT managers, but are valid 
noneteless.  being 100% XML compliant "out of the box, no strings 
attached" would add DEPTH to REBOL leaps and bounds in the IT business 
IMHO.

I thought RT had posted on their website that they had licensed some 
xml engine at one stage.

The tools exist,  senior XML developers also, heck some people even 
wrote the damned specs...  nothing is keeping RT from contracting 
out someone (or licensing technology) to add those capabilites in 
rebol natively, or as a module if its too large to keep REBOL lightweight, 
(no pro-con libs wars please).

Worked out the other issue.. Flash requires crossdomain.xml file 
to be delivered up by Cheyenne when running Flash that uses xml.Socket 
(like RASH).
Butt it's working well now.. and very cool. 

Works like this.. I run my local copy of Framewerks with embedded 
Cheyenne server, and park the GUI on any server (always accessible, 
single point of bug fixing etc.) for all to use.. currently it's 
here  http://kommonwealth.com/exper/gui.html


Now, it wont work for you 'cuz you're not running framewerks.. but 
if you were..  you could type into the box "codes" and it would open 
the RASH code file, on your desktop, using your favorite text editor. 
  

But wait.. there's more... 

In my local code.txt file i have the following line

PnG "testing" ][bout: {<pre>ok this works</pre>} makeXML ['DISPLAY 
'MSG "testing works here"]]


So when I open another browser, and point it to http://localhost/
testing  that line is fired (more on all this later).. 

Which does two things.. it outputs "ok this woks" to this second 
localhost page .. BUT (and this is the cool part)

it sends the "testing works here" into the panel on the first kommonwealth 
page. 

In other words, Im able to PUSH data to the remote page at ANY TIME.. 
  this will make for the ultimate in portal pages. 

And.. if that's not enough, Im able to pass messages to the DOM via 
javascript to the kommonwealth page as well. 

Allowing things like sliding in panels.. fading div elements moving 
images.. whatever.


So.. remote page can manipulate my computer.. run apps, do any Rebol, 
reboot .. whatever.. and the local desktop can manipulate a remote 
web page.

Finally.

I've been wondering what it would be like to have a rebol version 
of asp.net.  I'd like to see a solution that separates the HTML and 
the logic as discussed, but also get rid of the css, javascript, 
xml and other languagues that get in the way of a streamlined solution.

Basically it's the part which was showstoper for Rebol plugin - shortly 
it works in a way, that if you want to connect to some site with 
Flash, Flash first loads crossdomain.xml file from the target server 
where must be your domain allowed to access the server domain. If 
it's not allowed, the Flash do not connects at all. It's a basic 
prevention of doing Dos attacks from Flash Player.

The only case where this method doesn't work is when you need to 
send back XML data with embedded HTML (RSS for example). So your 
request is justified.

the idea being that interacting via xml request or full page refresh, 
with only part of a page parameters, creates the same output  :-)

you could actually have one page sending xml requests to the server 
in ajax, and another page refreshes with the results of those requests...


the second page could also send a page request with the some parameters 
sent, and the server will reflect all changes to the current session/page 
so far.

Well, I've found RSP script pretty handy for web services too, generating 
dynamically javascript code or XML for AJAX requests.

XML I can see, but JSON is so close to REBOL.
