[REBOL] Re: XML-processor toy. Or: "RFC"
From: brett:codeconscious at: 18-Nov-2000 13:17
I've been musing on this recently. Funnily enough I've been building my own
xml-processor toy like Christian's though I haven't got as far yet as
actually having it do something.
I wanted to parse the xml-dtd to create a rebol object that would in turn
offer two functions. The first to parse the actual xml document into a Rebol
form. The second to convert the Rebol form back to an xml document. Using a
seperately generated object gets around the problem of mimicking xml into
Rebol (eg. attributes / contents) and skirts around the issue of having one
right
Rebol form for holding xml data. So the Rebol form could be a wordy
dialect, nested objects, block structure suitable for use with paths, or
combination of these. Whatever is the most useful.
Unfortunately I haven't quite got the time to see this through at the
moment.
Brett.
