This might be quite dated, but still interesting to look at. I was in the 
process of making lots of changes before getting distracted.

This is the generously-mirrored download resource I was talking about.

Delayed. ;-) It all started off with the XML tutorial document I wrote, and 
which was available from my old Web site (and should be uploaded to the new one 
as soon as possible). I just wanted nicer ways of accessing XML information 
through the DOM API but without all the usual messing about handling XML data 
which isn't interesting - spurious text sections and so on. One problem with 
the DOM API is that to use it effectively, there's a lot of explaining to do.

Then, I got more ambitious and started to rewrite the "templating" from 
XMLForms with the aim of incorporating it back into XMLForms later. After that, 
I thought it might be nice to be able to store XML documents in SQL databases 
according to a predefined schema, and I actually got this to work.

Right now, it's at the stage where you can take a look at it, but it's not a 
release candidate by any stretch of the imagination. If you're intrigued, it 
may be worth a look, but if you're looking for solutions, then you'll be 
disappointed. It's often worth stressing such things - the number of packages 
I've downloaded which seem too much effort to evaluate... perhaps I'm just 
getting lazy in my old age. ;-)

Anyway, try this URL:

  http://www.boddie.org.uk/downloads/XMLTools.tar.gz

The usual disclaimers apply: if it does anything nasty or undesirable (which it 
shouldn't without severe provocation) then don't blame me for the 
consequences. ;-)

Regards,

Paul
