How is it that the Java version makes it so easy? This lack of
DOM-to-string functionality, combined with lack of any means to transmit
the XML to a server, led me to abandon Xerces C altogether and rewrite
everything in Java. What a great decision: Three weeks after knowing not a
scrap of Java, I have a functioning architecture that builds a DOM, gets it
as XML, sends it to a server, and receives replies.
With all respect to the DOM folks, the failure to provide any means of
actually getting XML out of the DOM is a major one. XML is all about text,
so where's the text handling? I certainly hope that finally, in version 3
of the DOM, we get something useful.
I just wonder why, after all the questions about this, no one has written a
lean and clean DOM-to-string function. I wish I had time to do it. But
someone took the time to write DOMPrint and all those other examples; I
would have thought that DOM-to-string would have been example 1 on
everyone's list.
