XML Module : Add it to standard modules
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Module Tweaks/XML Module : Add it to standard modules
| ||
| I often use XML to save different kind of data for my projects. What about adding this module to the standard module libary? I think this is a good step to bring BlitzMax on a professional way. What's your opinion? |
| ||
| I would not mind if Libxml2 ( http://xmlsoft.org/ ) or another qualitiy xml lib was added. It's what I use in Blitzmax on Windows as a dll. Most other "I'll just roll my own" XML readers (incuding my own), just doesn't cut it when presented with modern xml files that use namespaces, CDATA, DTD's etc. Also XSLT transformation is just as important as reading, and that's just not something you just code yourself. That said, it's very easy to make an include file and use libxml2 as a dll on Windows. |

| I agree. Any recommendations of free, cross-platform XML libraries? (haven't checked the above) |
| ||
| I also agree this would be great. |
| ||
| Without trying it, libxml2 seems like a good, free (MIT License), fully cross-platform library... |
| ||
| So who wants to do the dirty work on this one? libxml2 definitely looks nice. What about expat? |
| ||
| I agree aswell. You need an XML module that will elegantly handle different types of document encoding. Like libxml. |

| That's what I'm using currently, Proger. But I want to see it in the official BlitzMax Module List (orsomethink similar). |

| I too :) |
