new REBOL site

 [1/7] from: rchristiansen::pop::isdfa::sei-it::com at: 26-Dec-2000 16:58


If you're interested, I have begun a REBOL site which focuses on using REBOL and XML to standardize messaging. I also plan to add a REBOL script library to the site in the near future. http://www.dangeroustechnology.com/ Any and all comments on my efforts are greatly appreciated. -Ryan

Hi Ryan, Cool Stuff. Just 1 thing, in your example you need to encode the <> of the tags so that they show up in HTML. It is appearing like this read-markup: func [ xml-file [file!] ][ message-data: load/markup xml-file xml-data: make object! [ author: message-data/ subject: message-data/ date: message-data/ content: message-data/ messageID: message-data/ messageType: message-data/ ] xml-data ] Instead of this read-markup: func [ xml-file [file!] ][ message-data: load/markup xml-file xml-data: make object! [ author: message-data/<author> subject: message-data/<subject> date: message-data/<date> content: message-data/<content> messageID: message-data/<messageID> messageType: message-data/<messageType> ] xml-data ] Cheers, Allen K

Nice and nicely done! Has a good feel and easy to read. Paul Tretter

A nice idea. I think there needs to be some extra, optional tags as well. <contact> springs to mind, (perhaps as part of <author>?), as does <source>, meaning where the message originally appeared. I'm sure there's plenty of others too. -- Carl Read [carl--cybercraft--co--nz]

REBOL and XML to standardize messaging. I also plan to add a REBOL script library to the site in the near future. You could probably use the set-words in the data object to specify the XML tags, rather than having a separate block of tags, which look the same as the set-words.

One thing I'm trying to get away from is having too many <tags>. Adding < messageID> was absolutely necessary for keeping messages unique, but even adding <messageType> bothers me because it adds to the complexity, which is what I'm trying to avoid in the first place. The <messageType> tag is wide open and can contain lots of information separated by a delimiter, if necessary.

Thanks. I missed a few of those, I see.
