XML DOM parser for REBOL?

 [1/5] from: premshree::pillai::gmail::com at: 4-Jan-2005 4:17


Hi, all, Is there a DOM-based XML parser available for REBOL? -- Premshree Pillai http://www.livejournal.com/~premshree

This might be the closest: http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=quickparser.r Sunanda.

Hi Premshree, Sunanda, I'm interested in knowing what you would be using a DOM-based XML parser with Rebol for. I really can't see why xml would be necessary, when Rebol parsing and block/series scripting is an easier data transfer scheme (if Rebol was used as a networked messaging language at large.) But... XML/HTML is the simplest way to quickly describe and receive/share data with the rest of the NET within the browser world. If Rebol thinks it can replace e-mail and HTML, then it's got to get rid of the E-Mailer and the browser. I really don't see that ever happening. I would like to know how some would use a DOM parser with Rebol and XML. I personally hope to use it to get rid of any xml having to be piped over the web to be interpreted by the browser. I Can,t share this right now, but Rebol script would be large and in charge by everyone that does this. Why i believe we need a quick-parser, a browser plug-in and a DOM-based XML parser ? So we can completely control any browser, its contents, HTML, CSS, password protection, encryption, serializing, ziping, objects, and its' transfer protocal so people won't have to buy and learn how to use a boat load of software. So Rebol would be seen as a reasonable choice to message web-site data across the net. I call it, WMD... WYSIWYG Messaged Data

Okay, so I have not been getting some mails to my inbox, even though they are getting listed at http://mail.rebol.net/cgi-bin/mail-list.r Anyway... inetw3-mindspring.com wrote:

Yes, parsing REBOL block data is much simpler, but... what do I do if I want to communicate with a _different_ system? If these were two REBOL systems that I was dealing with, things would have been different. But the REBOL block data format is _not_ a standard; XML is.

Exactly.

Well I don't think I understand your question correctly. Anyway, if you're specifically referring to _DOM_ (as opposed to SAX), it's just a matter of preference.
