Re: XML Writer Service program

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi Nicolas,

I may or may not know of a tool like this :)  It depends on what you 
mean?

Your sample code, as posted, is too simplistic to handle most XML 
documents.  It has no ability to embed an XML element inside another 
element, no ability to add attributes, and no ability ability to mix 
elements with character data.

Once you add all of the sophistication needed to handle all of those 
situations, your toolkit would look very much like the DOM tools that 
are already out there.  So if that's what you meant, then yes I know of 
tools like that already.

If you wanted to keep it as simple as the code you posted, though, then 
no I don't know of anything like that... it just wouldn't handle most 
XML documents.

IMHO, it's actually easier to code XML using a templating tool like 
CGIDEV2 or by coding it manually with the IFS APIs.
