Hi Friends,
What I understood about AXIOM is this... please tell me if i am
right...
1. Axiom is a linked list which is capable of holding the XML
document more conveniently as it has members like attributes, namespaces, etc.
2. These members of the linked list are used to pin point the
required node or required attribute of the node with out parsing the whole
structure constructed, when ever needed. [This capability of pin pointing is
called PULL PARSING technique]
3. We make use of libxml2 or guththilla parsers to construct the
XML document [which is a DOM structure].
4. This XML document acts as an input to construct the AXIOM tree
which can be pull parsed. [AXIOM tree is a wrapper around libxml2's XML
document, so that it can be pull parsed]
Am I right in understating the concepts of AXIOM and pull parsing?
Please correct me if I am not correct.
Vamsi, IIIT-Hyd.
