more Tricks with XML::Xerces

TeeJay on 2004-01-15T14:20:11

I have uploaded a nice new release of XML::Xerces::BagOfTricks (should appear on cpan soon).

This version fixes the makefile and adds a new function for getting a DOM Document from some XML (either in a string or from a file).

I think it makes working with Xerces a lot easier.

Shame nobody else seems to be using it much.

Installation

Maybe if it was easier to install more people would use it. I ended up writing XML::Validator::Schema largely because I didn't want to inflict the Xerces/C++ installation procedure on my users.

Amen to that, and thanks for your good work.

Was the XML::LibXML Schema support too experimental for the project you were working on, or just late coming?

Again, thanks for your good work.

Too late entirely, if I remember correctly. Certainly none of the public releases had any schema support.

Schema and installation

Currently Xerces is the only library that comes close handling the schema we have to deal with at work.

No other options come close. Although Sam's looks nice (clear, well designed) and is well documented.

Oddly I don't remember having any problems installing xerces on my redhat laptop, although one of my coworkers has had problems with debian (probably because stable/woody is so far behind current versions of most software)
