Doing my first steps with REBOL I tried to do something with XML
(reading/eventually
modifing/writing). I looked for some scripts helping me to do this and found:
1. xml2rebxml/rebxml2xml:
I got the following problems:
- missing/loosing comments
- missing/loosing elements - that's realy serious
my steps were:
my-doc: xml2rebxml read %simple.xml
write %simple2.xml rebxml2xml my-doc
The second documents finishes outputting elements after some comment block
in
the source xml doc.
2. xml-parse/xml-object:
The versions I found on the reb library didn't work, I used some older
versions
from rebXR-1.3.0, I've got my objects, but it would be nice to have a
third module like
xml-write to get the object tree back to xml. Is somebody developing
something like this?
3. mt.r:
I tried to figure out how it works. Basically I can write some XML based
on a REBOL
block but I couldn't figure out how to define the rules about elements and
attributes.
Where can I find an example about writing for instance svg with mt.r, how
looks the
coresponding REBOL block and the rules for svg?
Where can I find more about xml and REBOL, I think it would be very nice to
have some
REBOL scripts, doing things like
some-elem: xml-create [ elem "foo" namespace "myns" attribs [
bar "something"
xyz "123"]
]
xml-modify [ elem another-elem append some-elem ]
and finally
xml-write %mynewxml.xml my-doc
Is somebody developing something like this with REBOL? Some scripts giving me
the same
comfort in REBOL like maybe XOM (http://www.xom.nu) is giving for XML in Java.
Of course
done with some nice REBOL dialects?
Thank you for any tips, carsten
PS: I tried to put the same message in AltMe: I opened the XML group, switched
to the text
edit mode (the small pen), inserted the text and finally pushed the "send
message" button,
but nothing appeared? What have I done wrong?
