About GXml ========== GXml provides a GObject API for manipulating XML. Most functionality is provided through libxml2. Currently, GXml provides the DOM Level 1 Core API.
News ==== This new version is API/ABI incompatible with 0.4 series. Most work has been on simplifying API for Vala programers users, using interfaces and Gee classes, allowing to create new backends based or different from libxml2. This work allowed to re-implement existing classes without radically modify API for existing applications and makes room to improve performance and memory usage. News and changes are as follow: * Added new interfaces to simplify implementing new backends for XML reading/writting, containers are Gee ones. * Renamed GXml 0.4 DOM classes to prefixing a "x", to avoid conflicts with new interfaces * GXml DOM classes, now implement new interfaces * GXml DOM classes now implement Gee interfaces to access directly to libxml2 structures, reducing extra processing and memory consumption when they are referenced from permament on memory GObject classes. Reimplementing most other DOM classes to implement Gee classes in on roadmap, to reduce memory and possibly increase performance on parsing. * Improved XML namespaces handling * Added new TwDocument class, as pure Vala XML tree container implementation of new interfaces * Implemented a 3-5 times faster XML writer using TwDocument and libxml2 xmlTextWriter. A new TwDocument and xmlTextReader is on roadmap, to improve parsing performance. * Serializable framework ported to new interfaces, allowing to use different backends when serialize/deserialize GObjects. * Serializable and its implementations, has gained serialization performance improvements using TwDocument and better namespace handling. * Improved documentation * Added --enable-performance-tests, just to reduce the time required to run all unit tests. New interfaces makes room to convert any GObject as a GXml.Node object, making de/serialization more transparent and possibly better performance and memory usage reduction, by avoiding intermediate XML trees using libxml2 or TwDocument. Another plan includes, GObject mapping to XSD. ============= Version 0.4.2 ============= - Fixes to Vala bindings documentation for DevHelp (Daniel Espinosa) - Preview of gtk-doc and documented GIR generation (Daniel Espinosa) ChangeLog ========= https://download.gnome.org/sources/gxml/0.6/gxml-0.6.0.changes (83.8K) Download ======== https://download.gnome.org/sources/gxml/0.6/gxml-0.6.0.tar.xz (709K) sha256sum: 50f5e1b691fcc2994264565bcbfa4cfcd386bd01ea98c9fbec3ae4ec66ce7fc8 _______________________________________________ ftp-release-list mailing list ftp-release-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ftp-release-list
