Hi All,
I am planning to use Xalan and Xerces both in my project.
As I understand, Xalan gives me a framework for XPath and XSLT processing
and Xerces is a XML parser. Now at first look I thought so that the Xalan should
have extended Xerces for it own purpose. That seems to be the most logical design
decesion. But from the code it seems that (I haven't seen it throughly) that it
has encapsulated Xerces Parser and implemented a bridge (wrapper) around it.
It would be really intersting to know,
1. What am I saying, is it true?
2. If it is true, was this design decesion taken for some special reason?
3. If in my application I need to parse the XML and also aplly XPath and XSL on it
should I use both Xalan and Xerces?
Thank you very much.
