|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
DOM:
|
|
Implements most of the DOM level 1 specification and supports some of the
|
|
DOM level 2 extensions.
|
|
|
|
XMLRead:
|
|
Provides a simple XML reader, which can read XML data from a file or stream.
|
|
This simple parser will be replaced by a much improved one soon, which will be
|
|
able to handle different character encodings, namespaces and entity references.
|
|
(This parser reads the file directly, i.e. it doesn't support Unicode or
|
|
different charsets yet.)
|
|
Regarding entity references: The pre-defined entities "lt", "gt", "amp", "apos"
|
|
and "quot" are replaced by their normal value during reading. Other entity
|
|
references are stored as TDOMEntityReference nodes in the DOM tree.
|
|
Regarding whitespace handling: Whitespace directly after the beginning of a
|
|
tag is discarded, and sections of the XML file which contain only whitespace and
|
|
no other text content are discarded as well.
|
|
|
|
XMLWrite:
|
|
Writes a DOM structure as XML data into a file or stream. It can deal both with
|
|
XML files and XML fragments.
|
|
At the moment it supports only the node types which can be read by XMLRead.
|
|
Please note that the writer replaces some characters by entity references
|
|
automatically:
|
|
For normal text nodes, the following replacements will be done:
|
|
'<' => '<'
|
|
'>' => '>'
|
|
'&' => '&'
|
|
For attribute values, additionally '"' gets replaced by '"'. Single
|
|
apostrophes (') don't need to get converted, as values are already written using
|
|
"" quotes.
|
|
The XML reader (in xmlread.pp) will convert these entity references back to
|
|
their original characters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
XPath:
|
|
Just a XPath implementation. Should be fairly completed, but there hasn't been
|
|
further development recently.
