Re: Cocoon vs AxKit
Today, I saw this... __BEGIN__ On Wednesday 16 January 2002 02:12 pm, Michael A Nachbaur wrote: rant type=biased Essentially, AxKit is Cocoon for mod_perl, but it goes quite a bit farther than that. Just as Java takes a strict approach to programming (in terms of typing, OO, etc), Perl is more flexible in how you can use it. So, built around that idea, AxKit is a flexible alternative to Cocoon. Also, AxKit is more akin to Cocoon v1 last time I looked (6-8mo ago). __END__ It's the other way around: AxKit is much more akin to Cocoon2. We had a sitemap concept before they did, and while we still allow xml-stylesheet PI's, it's not using the Cocoon1 reactor pattern that is so difficult to develop for - the pipeline is determined only from the originating file/request (however it is modifiable mid pipeline if you absolutely have to). I think from general feelings and comments from others that AxKit is also a fair bit more lightweight than Cocoon, and faster (yes, even than Cocoon2, which didn't do *that* much for performance unfortunately according to my readings of cocoon-dev). Though admittedly I would welcome the opportunity to do what the Cocoon people did for Cocoon2 and do a complete re-write (we all make design mistakes that we regret 2 years on :-) Hope that helps, Sincerely, Matt. -- :-Get a smart net/:- This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.

Re: Cocoon vs AxKit
I do think this is one of the flaws of axkit - lack of documentation, though the developpers are extremely helpful. When I initially looked at axkit I only saw that it worked with PIs. The only way I found out was bad-mouthing it and being corrected - not a good way to do documentation... :) Perhaps this has changed (with it on apache) and it is worth another look? best, -Rob - Original Message - From: Peter Royal [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Matt Sergeant [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 7:21 AM Subject: Re: Cocoon vs AxKit On Thursday 17 January 2002 10:05 am, Matt Sergeant wrote: It's the other way around: AxKit is much more akin to Cocoon2.
